What's the real story behind climate change?氣候變化的影響
Some believe polar bears of Hudson Bay are dying due tothe lack of food which consists mainly of ring seals. Climate change causes the ice to break up earlier than usual forcing the bears to make it onto dry land where food is much less attainable.

四段都寫目前的情況所以均用現在式
which produces half…是由which關係代詞引導的非限定定語從句，修飾唯一叫Ivory Coast象牙海岸的地名，可以省略，也可刪which及前面的逗號改用分詞producing half…所謂非限定是從句前(或前後)有逗號隔開，是可要可不要的，因修飾的對象是唯一的。相對的限定從句如 The boy (who was) dressed in black was me. 用於說明在幾個男孩中特定的一個。 believe 後省了 that ，後面的主語是複數的bears接are，which限定從句指名lack of缺乏甚麼食物，也可去which改為 consisting mainly of...
forcing是分詞的附帶狀況用法，表明 force與前面的動作同時發生，可改為 and forces…
where是關係副詞，後要接完整句，如food主 is 謂，much less attainable表語
needed to…是 which is needed to 的簡化，可不用needed to 改為 in order to 或 so as to

What's the story behind the haze in South East Asia?東南亞陰霾不散的因由
Caused by the burning of farmland and forest clearance by indigenous farmers from Sumatra, the air pollution from the forest fires poses a serious health concern for several neighbouring countries including Malaysia and Singapore. The land cleared by the fires is used for producing vital crops – a major profit forthese farmers. | remaining 是分詞作形容詞，因species is remaining中 remaining 是狀態, 不同於sleeping bag，bag is for sleeping，sleeping是用途是動名詞 some feared 可以改用 some fear，文中用過去式或想表達這句是過去聽一些人說的
driven是 which is driven 的簡化
caused 由 As it is caused 簡化成Being caused 再省being成 caused, 這種狀語從句簡化成分詞短語要求前後主語相同，如 it = air pollution，否則就要保留subject +being + 過去分詞(表被動)，或 subject+ Ving +(表主動)
cleared 是 which is cleared 的簡化
