Read the text carefully then do the activities
Nowadays, scientists can make copies of plants, animals and even human beings. We call this cloning. There is nothing new about cloning at all. Ancient Greeks cloned plants over 4000 years ago and the first cloned frog appeared in 1968. Twenty-nine years later, in 1997, Dr Ian Wilmut and other fellow researchers from Edinburgh University, Scotland, managed to clone and adult sheep from a single cell to produce a lamb (Dolly) with the same genes as its mother. Some people are worried because scientists started to think about cloning human beings.
Today, we can also use genetic engineering technology to produce genetically modified food. Scientists can copy and transfer individual genes from one living organism to another in order to make plants more productive and more resistant to diseases and pests. However, some people refuse to eat genetically modified food (GMFs). They consider that biological products are safer.

5/Derive adjectives from the following words:
Fashion, courage, help, wonder, economy, tradition.
