Good Luck.
A group of [green / yellow] charities called Rewilding Britain wants to return a large [areas / area] of Scotland to how it was a thousand years [ago / before] . The group wants forests and lost animals, birds and fish [to / for] return. One of the animals the group aims to put back into the [wind / wild] is the wolf. This died out in Britain in 1680 after hunters and farmers killed them [all / every] . Other [spaces / species] that could return to Scottish mountains, rivers and seas [including / include] the lynx (a wild cat), beavers, bison, sea eagles, bluefin tuna and grey whales. The charities want the government to return one-twentieth of the country to its [natural / naturally] state. The area it wants is the United Kingdom's cleanest region. It hopes much of this can happen [up / by] the year 2030.

Not everyone [thanks / thinks] the reintroduction of animals like the wolf and lynx is a good idea. Farmers are worried it would [create / cause] them many problems. A farmer's group said it was a crazy idea to bring back [predates / predators] to the country because they would [start / started] killing farm animals. They also say that dams built by beavers would increase the [risky / risk] of flooding farmland, [while / whale] sea eagles kill lambs. Rewilding Britain spokeswoman Rebecca Wrigley said: "Re-wilding is [real / really] for everyone who [cares / cures] about our future." She added: "Our ecosystems need us." Ms Wrigley said it was [important / importance] to re-wild Britain for, "native forests to regenerate" and to give "the seas a chance to recover from [industry / industrial] fishing".
