III. Listening In
Task 1: We should have proper respect for nature!
Script
Martha: Do you think most people in your culture respect nature?
Ed: I think so. Um… more now than before.
Martha: What do you think is the most serious environment problem in the world today?
Ed: Today…I think damage to the ozone layer is a big problem, and another problem is pollution in big cities and things like that.
Martha: How do you learn about environmental problems?
Ed: Um… through school. A lot of clubs promote environmental safely, and some TV programs, too. They talk about environmental safely and stuff like that.
Martha: Do you think students should learn more about the environment at school?
Ed: I think so. So, as they grow older, they can be more aware of all the problems that are going on, and prevent more problems from occurring.
Martha: If you could create a new law to help the environment, what would it be?
Ed: A new law for the environment? Um…I’d probably say that when people throw away their cigarette butts, they have to throw them into the garbage bin, not just throw the
m everywhere because it’s just littering and I hate that. So they should be fined if they throw them on the floor on the ground.
Martha: That’s a good idea. What do you personally do to help protect the environment?
Ed: I’ m so against littering. I never litter. If I see somebody litter, I get really angry. So I always throw my trash into the garbage bin.
