Part III: READING COMPREHENSION (0.5 pt. for each correct answer)
Ecotourism
Tourism will always have an impact on the places visited. Sometimes the impact is good, but
often it’s negative. For example, if lots of people visit one place, then this can damage the
environment. The question is – how can we minimize the problems without preventing people
from travelling and visiting places?
The main aim of ecotourism is to reduce the negative impact that tourism has on the environment
and local people. The idea is to encourage tourists to think about what they do when they visit a
place.
It’s great to talk about protecting the environment, but how do you actually do this? There are a
number of key points. Tourists shouldn’t drop litter, they should stay on the paths, they shouldn’t
interfere with wildlife, and they should respect local customs and traditions.
Some people see ecotourism as a contradiction. They say that any tourism needs infrastructure –
roads, airports and hotels. The more tourists that visit a place, the more of these are needed and,
by building more of these, you can’t avoid damaging the environment.
3
But, of course, things aren’t so black and white. Living in a place of natural beauty doesn’t mean
that you shouldn’t benefit from things like better roads. As long as the improvements benefit the
local people and not just the tourists, and the local communities are consulted on plans and
changes, then is there really a problem?
In 2002, the United Nations celebrated the ‘International Year of Ecotourism’. Over the past
twenty years, more and more people have started taking eco-holidays. In countries such as
Ecuador, Nepal, Costa Rica and Kenya, ecotourism represents a significant proportion of the
tourist industry.
Decide if the following statements are TRUE or FALSE.
1. The writer thinks that tourism should be stopped.
2. Ecotourism is about making more money from tourists.
3. Tourists should think about their behavior.
4. It doesn’t matter where people walk.
5. More roads and buildings are built because of tourism.
6. It’s good when local people are asked for their opinions.
7. Ecotourism is becoming less popular.
8. For some countries ecotourism is very important.
Part IV: WRITING

(Suggested Answers)
Email Writing:
Dear Jacy,
I hope you're doing well! I wanted to share my recent adventure at [Name of the Tourist
Attraction]. It's located in a stunning natural setting with picturesque landscapes. The weather was
perfect - sunny with a cool breeze.
I indulged in the local cuisine; the food was exquisite, especially the [mention a specific dish]. As
for activities, I explored historical sites, hiked breathtaking trails, and even tried the local
nightlife, dancing the night away to vibrant music.
Can't wait to catch up and share more details!
Take care,
Paragraph Writing:
I have a general understanding of ecotourism, which involves responsible travel to natural areas
that conserve the environment, sustain the well-being of local communities, and educate visitors.
In my area [a specific location], ecotourism is gradually developing due to increased awareness of
environmental conservation and a growing interest in sustainable tourism practices. Local
businesses and organizations are promoting eco-friendly activities [i.e., specific examples] and
emphasizing the importance of preserving natural resources, which indicates a positive shift
towards ecotourism development. However, there is still room for improvement [i.e., current
limitations] in terms of infrastructure and awareness to fully harness the potential of ecotourism in
my region.
