Unit 3 in harmony with nature.0:00
Listen to six people and match what they say, A to F with the statements one to seven in your workbook.0:05
There is one statement you don't need to use.0:11
Speaker A High in the Himalayas of China live gentle animals called the giant panda.0:14
Pandas live in forests where bamboo is their main source of food.0:20
For a long time, when bamboo was plentiful, pandas felt healthy and strong.0:25
Then bamboo began to disappear and many pandas died.0:29
Without enough bamboo to eat, the giant panda can become extinct.0:32
Their number is not so big as it is.0:36
SPEAKER BEE Thousands of marine animals like seals and dolphins are in danger.0:40
It's people who are the biggest danger to them.0:47
Scientists and volunteers try to help these animals and give them official protection.0:49
In Cornwall, along the coast, there are special places where seals and other marine animals feel safe.0:54
Speaker C There are more than 600 active volcanoes on Earth.1:01
Indonesia alone has about 160 and Iceland has about 200.1:06
On average, between 20 to 30 volcanoes erupt each year.1:11
Volcanoes are well known for the destruction they cause.1:16
When in 1669, Etno in Italy erupted, 20,000 people were killed.1:20
There are many other tragic examples in history.1:26
Some volcanoes can be quiet for a long time, but then they may erupt again.1:29
They are often described as dormant.1:34
Nevertheless, they are also dangerous.1:37
Cars cause the most pollution in our environment.1:42
There are millions of cars in America alone.1:44
We can help the environment riding bikes to see how dangerous cars are, do the get an old white sock and put it over the exhaust pipe of the car.1:47
The car must be cold.1:58
Then ask somebody to start the car and after one minute stop it again.2:00
When you look at the sock, you'll see that it is no longer white.2:04
Think about the pollution from millions of cars every day.2:08
Speakery Nature is everything that exists in the world around us.2:13
At the beginning of their development, man was very dependent on nature.2:18
But with time getting more knowledgeable, people began to conquer nature, trying to solve its mysteries.2:23
New discoveries and inventions, new technologies make a dramatic impact on the planet.2:29
As a result, our life has become more comfortable in many ways.2:35
But progress has been harmful to the environment.2:39
Nowadays, the human race should protect Mother Nature.2:42
SPEAKER F Nowadays, people understand how dangerous pollution is and try to find various ways out.2:46
Everybody wants to stop pollution and save the world, but not many people know how to do it.2:54
Some of them think we should plant millions of trees and use alternative energy in our houses.3:00
In my opinion, we should try to save energy, recycle paper and other materials and stop polluting the planet.3:06
