2. Read the text and decide if the following statements are true, false or not mentioned. Write T, F or NM. Endangered Species Watch
The Orangutan is a great ape which is found on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra in South East Asia. These gentle great apes are very intelligent and, like humans, they have the ability to think and learn. They are the largest tree-living mammal, with longer arms than other great apes such as gorillas and chimpanzees.
Orangutans are an endangered species because of illegal hunting, loss of their habitat and being kidnapped from the wild and sold as pets. In fact, it is possible that orangutans living in the wild may become extinct very soon. The loss of their habitat has occurred for various reasons. As the populations of countries in South East Asia have grown, so has the need for land and food. The rainforests have been cut down to clear land for housing and agriculture. In particular, whole sections of rainforest have been cleared to plant palm trees which produce palm oil. As a result, the orangutans have no home. In addition, natural disasters such as flooding and forest fires have also contributed to the destruction of the rainforests.
The survival of orangutans depends mainly on the efforts of various conservation organisations which are working hard to protect them. For example, Camp Leakey is a research station in the Tanjung Puting National Park in Borneo; here orangutans are studied, cared for and prepared for life in the wild. Despite the work of organisations such as these, orangutans are still threatened; if we want to save these magnificent creatures from extinction, more needs to be done to protect their habitats.

When of her friends introduced her famous musical producer Evan Rogers. He was on holidays in Barbados with his life.

In Europe in the early middle ages practiced sending boys to the training of competent clergymen in monasteries or pages in a wealthy family. The first monastery boarding school is considered to be The King's School in Canterbury, founded in 597 year. Among the schools represented on our website, the oldest is The King's School Ely, courtyard with a Grand medieval Cathedral, Or in 973 it prepared the choristers of the Cathedral for the service, giving the best education that you could get in the UK. In the XII century the Pope has shown all the monasteries of the Benedictines, which was, for example, Westminster, to give free education. Secular schools arose when there is a paid students. They were created on the model of the collegiate universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Private education at home until the seventeenth century remained the norm for aristocratic families, especially for girls, but in the future more and more widespread views that young people should be educated collectively. Thus, throughout its thousand years of development of the concept of education has adapted to changing social conditions. Classic British boarding school became very popular in the heyday of the British colonial Empire. Going into administration in the colony, the fathers could be confident that their children are brought up surrounded by British culture at home. For foreign dignitaries, the British government provided the opportunity to give their children a British education with the expectation that children will absorb British values and become supporters of the colonial regime. An important reason why the family sends the children to boarding school, especially if it is studied by many generations of the family, is the ability to expand the horizons of the child, to instill in him a certain culture, common to this family of the clan. Others wish to give the child a higher education than they received themselves, to give the child the opportunity to join the culture of high society. Today in the UK there are over 800 private boarding schools, with an enrollment of over 100,000 children.
