English 5 formative in Lesson 1 third quarter: text types

A forest is an area of land dominated by trees. It is the dominant

terrestrial ecosystem on Earth, and is distributed around the globe. This

ecosystem is a complex web of organisms that includes plants, animals, fungi and

bacteria. There are broadly three major types of forests – tropical, temperate,

and boreal forests. They are classified depending on their latitude, local soil, rainfall

and prevailing temperatures. Tropical rainforests boast the great diversity of species

of all ecosystems on earth. They don’t experience winter and normally receive 100

inches of rain annually. Temperate coniferous forests are characterized by moist

climate and a prolonged growing season, thanks to high levels of precipitation. While

boreal forests normally have thin soil, thanks to the cold temperatures that undermine

the rate of decomposition.

How does the paragraph begin?

• a. It begins with a clear definition of what a forest is.

• b. It begins with a random information about the topic.

• c. It begins with explaining how trees dominate forest.

• d. It begins with introducing the meaning of an ecosystem.
