2. What is the difference between the sentences in each group?
When the object of a sentence is a that-clause (b) or an infinitive (d), we sometimes use “it” as an empty object and put the real object later to keep balance. For example, sentence (a) uses “it” as the empty object of “think”, referring to the real object: “the island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site”. Sentence (b) uses that-clause as the object of “think”.

3. Practice
★Practice1:Rewrite the underlined parts using it as an empty object.
Practice
The red-eared slider, a species of freshwater turtle, is native to the Southern United States and Northern Mexico. Due to its cute appearance, many people think keeping this turtle as a pet is a good idea. Recent years have seen more and more pet sliders escaping or being released from homes, and some owners believe to release them into the wild is no big issue.
These days, people have found to release these turtles into the wild is a threat to other species. Experts consider owners keeping their pets in an enclosed area important, and anyone unable to keep their pets should take them to an appropriate animal shelter.

Look at the pictures and read about the Saihanba National Forest Park
Practice
Located in Chengde City, Hebei Province, Saihanba (塞罕坝) sits 450 kilometers to the north of Beijing. The place is covered with snow seven months a year. It used to be a freezing, barren desert plagued by sandstorms. However, it has been turned into the world’s largest human-made forest that covers an area of nearly 75,000 hectares. Thus, it is called a “green miracle.”
