Exercise 3 Fill in the gaps with the correct form of the verbs in brackets.
There are forms of first, second and third conditionals in the text.

If the world's big problems had been addressed sooner, our lives 1
(improve) a long time ago. But politicians and world leaders don’t do enough
to improve the quality of life. If I had any power, I 2 (try) to stop
the destruction of our planet and I 3 (make) the world a
better place for all people.

First of all, I would try to stop wars because unless we put an end to all the
wars, millions of people 4 (continue) to die every day. If there were
no wars, all children 5 (have) their parents at home to take care of
them and provide for them, and they 6 (grow up) in a happier
world.

Also, if I 7 (be) a world leader, I would provide clean water for all
countries. If all countries 8 (have) easy access to clean water,
millions of children 9 (stop) dying from diseases caused by the
lack of clean water. If we don't do something about this issue soon, there 10
(be) lots of wars and deaths because of the lack of water.

We also need to introduce laws to reduce pollution. If we had done this in the
past, millions of species 11 (never/become) extinct, and global
warming 12 (never/start). If it were up to me, I 13
(introduce) very high taxes on fuel energy and at the same time I 14
(help) big companies to invest in clean energy. Unless we take measures
now, it 15 (be) too late both for ourselves and our children.
