Guided Practice

This is Roberto Martinez, your weather forecaster.

Unfortunately, the forecast looks bad today.

Outside the window here at Station WOLF, the skies appear cloudy.

It certainly felt rainy earlier this morning. According to the latest information, it should be a damp, drizzly day with an 85 percent chance of rainfall. Our sportscaster this morning is Marta Segal. Things have been quiet here around Arlington for the past few days. Stay alert for sports action tonight.

It should be an exciting game between our own Arlington Angels and the visiting Jackson City Dodgers. The team looked great at practice today, and I predict a hometown victory. TOD: Page 48

Guided Practice

Have you ever visited Redwood National Park?

The giant trees there can be an awesome sight.

For centuries, these trees have been an important part of the environment of the northwest United States.

Surely, these rare trees must be saved for future generations. More than 85% of the original redwood forest has been destroyed over the years. Because of this destruction, the survival of the redwood forest is being threatened. With better planning years ago, more of the forest might already have been saved. Unfortunaely, redwood forests are still shrinking rapidly. According to some scientists, redwood forests outside the park will disappear within our lifetime. However, according to other experts, the redwood forests can still be saved.
