China has released plans which target for the reduction of its CO2 emissions.
By doing that, China is reacting to pressure at home and abroad. Rising sea levels could
devastate its heavily populated coast. The Chinese public is increasingly worried about
broader environmental issues like urban smog, water quality and soil pollution.
China has invested heavily in green technologies such as electric cars, wind turbines and
solar panels.
China’s emissions of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels like oil, coal and
natural gas have nearly tripled since 2000, according to data from the International Energy
Agency in Paris.
1. China is facing a very serious national problem:
 the coastline is retreating landward
 rivers are degrading and drying up

 greenhouse gases emissions have increased
2. Justify your answer by quoting from the text.
3. China is working to:
 become energy self-sufficient
 warm up the atmosphere
 improve the quality of its environment
 invest more in fossil fuels
4. The reason for China to do so is:
