Task Two

            I think the second summary provides the right amount of details. We can see from the text, the details is clearly shown and every single reader can understand and achieve the information contain in the text.

            My own summary of the third paragraph.

            Egyptians have historically preferred to live within or near the cultivated land area and year by year the population of Egypt has increased. In the early 1800s the population was 2.5 million, 9.7 million in the late 1800s, 18.8 million in the 1940s, 37 million in the mid-70s, 46 million in 1984. The impact of that phenomenon is 1-2% of Egypt’s arable is lost annually because of human exploitation.

Task Three

            After read the text and the reason of the underlined sentences, I have a little different opinion. Such as, the writer prefers to ignore the specific details about the different principles. Because I think it is pretty important for the reader to be informed. And there are also a couple of reasons that contradictive with my opinion, when I think it is not to important to underlined but the writer underlined it.
