b. Write your thoughts / response to the following in 5 to 10 lines.

1. One day, you received an Amazon parcel. This was the first time you got one such thing. On opening it, you saw a nice watch inside it. State your reaction.

2. You are a conservationist fanatically attached to the cause of conserving the Amazon rain forests. You saw, with great despair, the way President Bosonaro allowed indiscriminate felling of the precious forests. He lost the recent election to his left-leaning successor Lula. What was your reaction?
