Unit 5B, Listening and Speaking Exercise 3, page 76.0:01
We spoke to some young people to find out their opinion about some current global issues.0:23
Here's what they told us.0:30
Speaker A I know it seems hard to believe in this day and age, but in some parts of the world people don't even have clean water to drink.0:33
They can become ill really easily and die.0:43
Also, many children around the world die from infections or illnesses that could be prevented by giving them the proper medicine.0:46
Speaker B There have been a number of large scale disasters around the world lately which have destroyed many people's homes and left them with nowhere to live.0:55
That's why I think an international emergency housing charity or scheme should be set up to help rebuild them.1:05
Speaker C I have a part time job because I choose to work to earn some extra money.1:14
But I would not like to have to do hard labour all day every day for very little pay from the age of six or something to look after my family.1:21
That's just not fair.1:30
Speaker D It's terrible.1:33
One by one all the animals will die out until there are only humans left.1:37
There may be animals we haven't even discovered yet and we never will because they have been wiped out by mankind.1:43
You have 30 seconds to complete the task.1:52
