Reading TASK 1. Read the following text and do the comprehension questions.
Earth Day
Many countries around the world celebrate Earth Day. It is a day that is meant to raise awareness
and appreciation about the Earth's natural environment.
The first Earth Day was held in the USA. It was founded by United States Senator Gaylord
Nelson as an environmental teach-in - a sort of general educational forum or seminar. That was
on April 22, 1970. While this first Earth Day was focused on the United States, an organization
launched by Denis Hayes, who was the original national coordinator in 1970, took it
international in 1990 and organized events in 141 nations.
Earth Day is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network, and is celebrated in more than
175 countries every year. Numerous communities celebrate Earth Week, an entire week of
activities focused on environmental issues. In 2009, the United Nations designated April 22
International Mother Earth Day.
