ответить на вопросы по этому тексту, на завтра 's roland tiensuu, 12, thinks that saving our planet is too important to be left to grown-ups . three years ago, the boy learned from his teacher, eha kern (who shares the prize of $60,000 with tiensuu), that large areas of rainforests in latin america had been destroyed. tiensuu was worried that by the time he and his class- mates grew up, there would be no rainforests left to save. "i thought, there must be something we can do," he says. "i saw a television pro- gramme where people planted trees to replace some of those that had been cut down. but of course, we couldn't do that because we lived far away in sweden. then i thought that instead we could buy the rainforest." with the teacher's help tiensuu and the rest of the class organized a bake sale in their small village of fagervik and raised enough money to buy four hectares of rainforest in costa rica. their school campaign started the children's rainforest, a nonprofit organization whose young members in several thousand swedish schools have bought 7,000 hectares of jungle with the $1.5 million they have raised so far. schoolchildren in germany, japan and the usa have followed their example. the people of costa rica have named part of the rainforest the bosque eterno de los ninos, or the children's eternal forest. b) read the article and answer the questions. 1. why do you think roland tiensuu got a prize? 2. how did he get the idea to buy a rainforest? 3. how did the children raise money? 4. how did their campaign become global? 5. what was the result of that campaign?
