TEXTO: THE NATURE BROTHERS

Read this text carefully from a webpage about the Nature Brothers, a pop band formed by two twin brothers, Adam and Peter. Then, answer the questions.

“Nature Brothers” may be a strange name for a pop band. However, there are some reasons for that name.

First, Adam and Peter were born on 22 April. On that date, people all over the world celebrate “Earth Day”.

Second, the two brothers grew up in the mountains. They liked listening to the birds and imitating them. Their parents played the guitar. Soon, the children learned to sing and play the guitar, too.

Third, they went to the town. There, they saw that most people didn’t care about nature. That was shocking for them.

At school, their teacher, Mr. Smith, told them about environmental problems: pollution, extinction of species, etc. They were worried and wanted to do something to help. But they didn’t know what to do.

Mr. Smith suggested creating a song about nature. That was their first song. Then, they created many others. Now, they hope that their music motivates people to protect our planet.
