You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
Influence of human beings on the world’s ecosystem is leading to the extinction of
many species and loss of biodiversity.
What are the primary causes of loss of biodiversity?
What solutions can you suggest to protect endangered species and biodiversity?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own
knowledge or experience.
Write at least 250 words. Band 9 ✍
