[00:03.89]You are going to hear part of a speech on Earth Day.
[00:07.11]Listen to the tape and answer the following questions.
[00:11.15]Part One  Ladies and Gentlemen today we are celebrating Earth Day.
[00:17.92]Earth Day is a day for reflection1 and action,
[00:22.36]today people in countries all over the world
[00:26.44] get together to discuss the Earth and our future,
[00:30.59]and to take action to improve the current2 situation.
[00:34.64]Earth Day is a chance for us to learn about the world,and change our behaviour.
[00:40.80]It helps me understand that we must be act.
[00:44.33]If I had known3 more about the earth in the past,
[00:47.86]I would have made different choices about what to do and what to buy.
[00:52.72]It is never too late to change.
[00:55.54]I'm here today to talk about one of the most important problems we are facing.
[01:01.78]In my view,the most important challenge4 ahead of us
[01:05.54]is to find a way to protect the water on our planet5.
[01:09.90]75% of the earth is covered by rivers,lakes and oceans,
[01:15.91]so it is truly a water planet.
[01:19.07]Unfortunately,most of the water can not be used for drinking.
[01:23.80]The earth is already becoming a thirsty planet.
[01:27.85]But there are still time to do something about the problem.
[01:32.24]If we want to have enough water in the future,
[01:35.69]we must learn to take better care of our water,
[01:39.66]we must stop polluting the water
[01:42.90]we must learn to save water in our daily life.
[01:46.74]Part two  We should take better care of our water,
[01:51.70]most of the fresh water on the earth is being used for farming6.
[01:56.66]We use clean water to grow food.
[01:59.82]We need food of course,
[02:02.70]but we must be more careful when we use our water.
[02:07.06]Too much water is being wasted because we are using all the ways of watering our plant.
[02:13.41]We must solve this problem if we want to have enough water in the future.
[02:18.74]The best way to solve the problem
[02:21.61]is to use the knowledge and technology that some country have already developed.
[02:27.46]If we work together and share what we know
[02:31.41] we will be building a better future for all of us.
[02:35.48]We must stop polluting our water,
[02:39.01]even if we succeed in making more water available to us
[02:43.87] we must still do something about water pollution.
[02:47.39]We are polluting water at an alarming pace.
[02:51.18]Cars,factories and airconditioners pollute the air and the water,
[02:56.93]we must change the way we think and the way we live.
[03:01.60]Let's not drive if we can walk or ride a bike.
[03:05.65]Let's try not to use airconditioners more than what is absolutely necessary.
[03:11.56]Let's not buy products that cause pollution.
[03:15.42]Let's make new rules
[03:17.77]and use new technology to make sure that factories are green and clean.
[03:23.34]Keep in mind that we,you and I are the ones who must change.
[03:29.08]This brings me to my final point.
[03:31.85]We must stop using too much water in our daily life.
[03:39.12]Integrating skills  listening and speaking.
[03:43.37] Voices of the Earth Summit7  Speech one.
[03:47.19]Hi,we are three children from three different continent.
[03:52.15]And we'd like to tell you what we think about the environment.
[03:57.32]The children of the world are disappointed8,
[04:00.85]because too many adults are too interested in money
[04:05.58] and wealth to take notice of serious problems that are effect our future.
[04:11.64]Young people from all over the world
[04:15.11]have many thing to say about the environment,
[04:18.87]but we all agree on one serious problem.
[04:23.03]Most leaders don't listen,
[04:25.90]we are here today because we want you to listen,to listen to everybody.
[04:32.56]Here's what the children of the world are saying:
[04:36.51]Governments of the world,must.
[04:39.67]Make sure that all people from developing9 countries have free access to clean drinking water

[04:46.62]Limited the number of cars for family
[04:49.96] don't cutting down trees without replacing them.
[04:54.09]People of the world must,
[04:57.25]Make use of our turn of transportation10 such as walking,biking and car-pooling.
[05:04.90]Reduce,reuse and recycle as much as possible.
[05:10.86]We are worry that many governments
[05:13.81]listen too much to those who care very little for the environment and people.
[05:19.87]Remember,we can not buy another planet
[05:23.92] and our lives and those of future generation depend on this.
[05:29.17]We are not asking too much.
[05:32.09]You said this summit is about taking action.
[05:36.46]We need more than your applause11 and comments of well done your good speech.
[05:42.13]We need action.
[05:44.58]Thanks for having us next year,and for listening to the voices of children.
[05:54.01]Speech two  Ladies and Gentlemen
[05:57.56]Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak to you today.
[06:01.53]I wish,however,we can do more than just talk.
[06:05.66]The Earth Summit is not just about good speeches and big words
[06:10.91] it is about doing something about the problems we are facing.
[06:15.59]I would tried to do something right now,right here.
[06:19.64]That's why I brought this bag.
[06:22.80]What do you think is in it?
[06:24.84]Well,I'll show you.Yes,that's right. Rubbish.
[06:29.69]On my way over here,
[06:31.97]I picked up the rubbish I saw on rubbish bins12 on the street.
[06:36.02]So that I can talk to you about what rubbish really is.
[06:40.38]Some of you might think that rubbish is what we throw away.
[06:44.40]Something useless that only causes problems.
[06:47.88]Well,I say that that's rubbish,let me explain what I mean.
[06:53.83]What is really in this bag?
[06:57.07]Resources13,possibilities,money,jobs,and solutions.
[07:04.72]What we call rubbish today is actually the resources of tomorrow.
[07:10.58]Let me tell you how we can use rubbish,some leftover15 food,
[07:16.01]a milk carton and an empty bottle,
[07:19.77]to make the future greener,cleaner and better,and to make money.
[07:29.62]Work book  Unit 9  Listening
[07:35.08]Carl has just returned from a trip to Egypt.
[07:38.32]As part of a team that helps protect the earth's water sources14,
[07:43.05]he worked on a project to solve the serious problem.
[07:46.89]Listen to the interview on the tape and answer the questions below.
[07:51.09]Part One
[07:52.84]A:Can you tell me about the project you worked on in Egypt?
[07:56.81]B:Egypt has developed a large program to clean up and protect its water.
[08:02.27]One of the projects is to help small farmers
[08:06.43]build small channels to make sure that the water supplied by the government
[08:11.89]can be used in the best way possible.
[08:14.94]A:So,what was the problem?
[08:18.18]It was often difficult for farmers to keep the channels clean and in good order.
[08:24.66]The channels were used as rubbish bins
[08:28.29]and too many plants grew where the water should flow.
[08:32.44]A:How did you solve the problem?
[08:35.37]At first,we thought that the farmers simply didn't understand the situation,
[08:41.72] and that we could solve the problem by educating them.
[08:45.37]But just make sure we interviewed some farmers and observed what they were doing.
[08:51.44]A:What did you do to learn more about the farmers and their work?
[08:56.58]B:Well,we visited many farmers and their families,
[09:01.54]We also formed small discussion16 groups
[09:05.20]in which we talked about the problem and what could be done about it.
[09:09.64]A:What do the farmers think and do?
[09:12.52]B:We found that the farmers did know about the problem,
[09:17.17]and had paid a company to clean the channels.
[09:20.64]But they didn't do it often enough.
[09:23.70]Part two
[09:25.37]A:Why didn't the farmers clean the channels often enough?
[09:29.73]B:They thought that the government was responsible17 for the channels.
[09:34.88]And they only clean them up when there was too much rubbish.
[09:39.55]They felt that this was unfair and didn't believe what the government said

[09:45.12]A:And how did the government react18 to this?
[09:48.88]B:Well,they were very surprised.
[09:53.03]They decided19 to show the farmers that there were serious about the problem.
[09:58.20]Farmers and the government would work together.
[10:02.46]The farmers formed a group that would oversee20 the work.
[10:06.82]A special channel cleaning day was chosen and farmers
[10:11.79] and the government decided to share the costs.
[10:15.55]The farmers would pay for the cleaning equipment
[10:20.02] and the government would pay for taking the rubbish away.
[10:23.67]A:That sounds like a good solution.
[10:26.73]B:It was. Working together also give people a chance to understand the dangerous of throwing rubbish in the channels.
[10:35.87]It stops the water from flowing,
[10:38.72]and made it dangerous for children to swim in the channel.
[10:42.95] and for women to use the water at home.
[10:46.11]A:Were the farmers happy about the solution?
[10:49.64]B:Yes,they were. The project was a success.
[10:54.47]By working together
[10:57.03]more things were achieved and everybody learned from the experience
