Test: I Am Here to Speak - Class 6 MCQ

Severn Suzuki and her friends made a group called the Environmental Children's Organization, or ECO. They worked hard to collect money and went to a big meeting to ask adults to save the earth. This shows kids can help nature too.

Severn gave a speech at a United Nations meeting in Brazil in 1992. She and her friends traveled far to tell adults to stop hurting the earth. It was a special meeting where people talked about saving nature.

Severn is scared to go outside in the sun because the ozone layer has holes. The ozone layer is a special gas in the sky that keeps harmful sun rays away. She also worries about breathing bad air. This shows pollution can hurt us.

Severn says adults don’t know how to fix big problems like holes in the ozone, bringing back animals that are gone, or cleaning rivers with no fish. She says if they can’t fix these, they should stop making them worse. We must take care of nature.

Severn says all people and animals are part of one big family. Lines on maps don’t change that. We should all work together to save the earth, just like a family helps each other.

In Brazil, Severn met kids who lived on the streets in poor areas called favelas. One kid said if he was rich, he would share food, clothes, and love with other kids. This made Severn think poor kids want to share, but rich people often don’t. Sharing is important.

At school, kids learn to respect others, share things, not be greedy, and not hurt animals or plants. Severn asks why adults teach these lessons but don’t follow them, like throwing away things or not helping poor people. Adults should act the way they teach.

Ozone is a gas high in the sky that protects us from harmful sun rays. Holes in the ozone make it unsafe to stay in the sun too long. This shows why we need to stop pollution that hurts the ozone.

Severn is scared that the animals and forests she dreamed about as a kid might not be there for her own children because people are harming nature. This shows why we need to protect animals and the environment.

The story says adults should stop hurting the earth with pollution, save animals and forests, and share with poor people. Everyone is like one big family, so we must work together. Kids learn to respect and share, and adults should do the same by acting, not just talking.
