1. Modern changes
2. New defences needed
3. Helping and threatening life
4. Ancient data
5. Protecting small islands
6. Worldwide effects
7. Differing opinions
8. Populations living at sea level
A. Water is possibly the most important thing for life on planet Earth. But even though we cannot survive without water, it also creates many problems, and the global rise in sea levels is a danger to millions of people. About 70% of the earth is covered by water and many cities are built close to coastal areas.
B. Although sea levels are rising at an increasing rate, there is no clear agreement as to what is causing it. Many scientists believe that global warming, caused by human activity, has contributed to it. Others argue that it is the result of natural climate change and the Earth often goes through patterns of rising and falling sea levels.
C. Whatever causes rising sea levels, the signs are clear. It appears that sea levels began to rise in the 19th century and these increases have more than doubled in the 20th century. There is plenty of evidence for these changes, from scientific sources such as geological data and record keeping.
D. There is plenty of evidence for dramatic changes in sea levels in the past. For instance, geological data shows that in the last ice age, 18,000 years ago, sea levels were around 120 metres lower than they are today. Further back in the past, there is evidence that sea levels were higher. So fluctuations in sea levels have occurred at various points in history.
E. The fact that rising sea levels may be a natural phenomenon won t be much consolation to people living in coastal areas facing the dangers of flooding. Large cities such as London and New York already use flood barriers. However, these cities will need much greater flood defences in the future. The Netherlands, a country with 25% of its land below sea level, will also need to increase its sea defences.
F. It is estimated that many islands could become uninhabitable. Even quite small rises in sea level can have a devastating effect on communities. Flooding can cause destruction of property and crops, soil erosion and poor quality drinking water. Worldwide, about 634 million people live in coastal areas and two thirds of the worlds largest major cities are in low-lying areas.
G. People who don't live close to coastal areas would be seriously affected by the destruction of coastal communities. Firstly, it would mean that large numbers of climate refugees would have to move to higher ground. The damage to agriculture and fresh water supplies could result in widespread famine. All in all, rising sea levels could be very serious for the entire population of the world.

The picture
Arthur started painting when he was 10. He loved painting so much that he decided to become an artist. Arthur studied painting seriously and mastered his technical skills to reach a professional standard. At 25 he arranged his first exhibition. Art critics wrote nice reviews of the exhibition and most of his paintings were sold. Arthur was happy. He married Tina, the girl he had loved since his school days, and rented a room to build his workshop there. Soon, to complete his education, Arthur went to Italy. He lived and painted there for almost half a year. When his money was spent, Arthur returned home.
Time passed but Arthur’s other exhibitions were less successful than the first one. In fact Arthur painted much better than before his visit to Italy. But the art critics said that his paintings were too academic and there was nothing new in them. Arthur worked hard to improve his style. Sometimes he managed to sell some of his paintings but soon the money ran out and he felt very unhappy.
One morning Arthur came to his workshop earlier than usual. He tried to finish one of his pictures but he felt that he wasn’t able to work. Arthur got angry and threw down his brush. A bright orange spot appeared on the board which lay below to protect the floor. The board was covered with green, blue and yellow paint from previous work. It was a real mixture of bright colours. Arthur ran out of the workshop.
An hour later, Tina came to the workshop to clean it. She picked up the board and put it against the wall to clean the floor. At that moment, Mr Harrison, the owner of an art gallery, came in. Two days before Arthur had invited him to come and look at the pictures. Arthur went around the workshop looking at the pictures. There was a blank and bored expression on his face. He sighed, “Nothing interesting”. Suddenly the board against the wall attracted his attention. He went closer.
“Tina, my dear,” he said. “What an interesting picture! Is it Arthur’s new work? Why is he keeping it from us?”
Tina kept silent, she didn’t know what to answer. Mr Harrison continued admiring the picture with an orange spot. “I’m happy that he has changed his style. This really is something special. I’ll ring Arthur this evening. Tell him that I’m ready to buy this picture myself. And any other pictures in this style.” Then he left the workshop.
When Arthur came back, Tina told him about Mr Harrison’s visit. She was very nervous and Arthur couldn’t understand her at first. Tina repeated the story and Arthur started to laugh. Then he asked, “Why didn’t you explain the whole thing about the board to Mr Harrison?”
“I don’t know,” answered Tina. “I knew that I should. But at first I thought he was playing jokes. Then I was afraid to look silly. I just said I didn’t think you would sell it.”
“I see,” said Arthur. “But what shall we do now?”
When Tina told Arthur about Mr Harrison’s offer, he got angry.
