Dear Sir,
These are my assignment of understanding paragraph :
Exercise 5
1. Topic : Lake Baikal in southern Siberia, Rusia
Main idea : a. lake Baikal is the world’s largest and oldest lake
Supporting facts and ideas :
It measures 395 miles long by 50 miles wide and it has 1.245 miles of coastline.
The lake’s rocky basin consist of three depressions, which hold a total volume of 14.656 cubic miles of water, 20 percent of the fresh water in the world.
The lake is also very deep, with its deepest point at over 1 mile and an average depth of 2066 feet.
From sediment obtained by drilling deep down below the lake, researchers estimate it to be at least 25 million years old
2. Topic : The unique species in Lake Baikal
Main idea : c. Many unique species can be found in the isolated ecosystem of Lake
Baikal
Supporting facts and ideas :
– More than 1,000 species of plants and animals found at Lake Baikal exist
nowhere else on earth and some can be dated to prehistoric times.
– This creature, which local people call Nerpa, is the only mammal which inhabits
the lake.
– Another creature that is unique to this Siberian Lake is the omu/, which is caught
by local fisherman and is considered a great delicacy.
3. Topic : Several factors contributed to keeping the water crystal clear.
Main idea : a. The water in Lake Baikal was very clean for several reason
Supporting facts and ideas :
– The lake contained certain small zoo plankton and small crustaceans that
consumed water weeds, bacteria and other material hat would otherwise cloud the
water.
– The water in the lake consisted of rainwater and melted snow that
flowed down from a mountain range in about 300 streams and through uninhabited
forest.
– Most of the watershed has a rocky surface, so the water flowing into the lake
did not accumulate mud or organic matter and had little mineral or chemical content.
Exercise 8

main idea : Gold is so valuable but it is far less useful than many other minerals or metals.
3. a. the price of gold is likely to climb yet higher.
Main idea : The factor that has effected the price of gold has been the increasing difficulty in acquiring it.
