Ⅱ.Listen to the conversations again and fill in the blanks.
Conversation 1
1. Well, as you know, I really feel strongly that we need to change the way we live in order to protect our planet. The lecture talked a lot about this.
2. Well, first, Professor Wei was very passionate about using clean energy. After the lecture, I can see that the use of oil and coal is one of the biggest threats to our planet. We definitely need to switch to different forms of power as soon as possible.
3. That’s a good idea. But of course, as the professor said: “We all have a role to play in protecting the environment. If we all do our part, we can live a healthier life on Earth.”
Conversation 2
1. I feel very lucky indeed to have Dr. Bradshaw with us today. He works on protecting animals in danger. At present, he is in a rhino protecting programme.
2. Yes, many animals are illegally hunted for something they have. In the rhino’s case, it is their horns. Some people think it is useful in medicine.
3. Well, the first step is education—we need to make everyone know hunting these animals is illegal and that these amazing animals are part of the world we live in.
Conversation 3
1. On my way home from work yesterday, I stopped off at a local supermarket. Among other things, I wanted to buy a couple of coconuts. When I picked them up, I was amazed that each coconut was wrapped in clear, thin plastic.
2. I understand that, but in this case it’s completely wasteful and unnecessary. I mean, why wrap a coconut in plastic? It already has its own packaging. It’s got a tough shell that’s almost impossible to break!
3. I have to say I agree with you on that. Some food packaging cannot be be recycled, and that’s not good enough—the packaging should be changed so that it’s recyclable. But let’s be realistic: We still need packaging.
Conversation 4
1. Let’s do it. I also notice how much takeaway food packaging we have. We should try to cook for ourselves more often. Look at all these cartons and plastic cutlery! Cooking at home is much more environmentally friendly.
2. And we threw away lots of glass bottles too. Let’s sort our rubbish and take it to a recycling centre from now on. The local council will help to reuse and recycle it.
3. I’ve just looked online too and there are lots of groups we could join which share ideas on how to reduce and recycle. It feels good knowing that there are so many other people who are committed to contributing to a better future for our planet.
