LISTENING TEXT to Unit Nine (for Students’ book )
Part 1
Ladies and Gentlemen，
Today we are celebrating Earth Day. Earth Day is a day for reflection and action. Today， people in countries all over the world get together to discuss the earth and our future， and to take action to improve the current situation. Earth Day is a chance for us to learn about the world and change our behaviour. It helps me understand that we must act. If I had known more about the earth in the past， I would have made different choices about what to do and what to buy. It is never too late to change. I am here today to talk about one of the most important problems we are facing. In my view， the most important challenge ahead of us is to find a way to protect the water on our planet. 75% of the earth is covered by rivers， lakes and oceans， so it is truly a water planet.
Unfortunately， most of the water cannot be used for drinking. The earth is already becoming a thirsty planet， but there is still time to do something about the problem. If we want to have enough water in the future， we must learn to take better care of our water. We must stop polluting our water. We must learn to save water in our daily life.
Part 2
We should take better care of our water. Most of the fresh water on the earth is being used for farming. We use clean water to grow food. We need food， of course， but we must be more careful when we use our water. Too much water is being wasted because we are using old ways of watering our plants. We must solve this problem if we want to have enough water in the future. The best way to solve the problem is to use the knowledge and technology that some countries have already developed. If we work together and share what we know， we will be building a better future for all of us.
We must stop polluting our water. Even if we succeed in making more water available to us， we must still do something about water pollution. We are polluting water at an alarming pace. Cars， factories， and air conditioners pollute the air and the water. We must change the way we think and the way we live. Let’s not drive if we can walk or ride a bike. Let’s try not to use air conditioners more than what is absolutely necessary. Let’s not buy products that cause pollution. Let’s make new rules and use new technology to make sure that factories are green and clean. Keep in mind that we — you and I — are the ones who must change. This brings me to my final point: we must stop using too much water in our daily life.
LISTENING TEXT to Unit Nine (for Integrating Skills )
Speech 1
Hi. We are three children from three different continents and we’d like to tell you what we think about the environment. The children of the world are disappointed because too many adults are too interested in money and wealth to take notice of serious problems that affect our future. Young people from all over the world have many things to say about the environment， but we all agree on one serious problem most leaders don’t listen. We are here today because we want you to listen — to listen to everybody.
Here’s what the children of the world are saying:
Governments of the world must:
· make sure that all people from developing countries
have free access to clean drinking water;
· limit the number of cars per family;
· stop cutting down trees without replacing them.
People of the world must:
· make use of alternative transportation such as walking， biking and car-pooling;
· reduce， reuse， and recycle as much as possible.
We are worried that many governments listen too much to those who care very little for the environment and people. Remember， we cannot buy another planet， and our lives and those of future generations depend on this. We are not asking too much! You said this Summit is about taking action! We need more than your applause and comments of “well done” or “good speech”. We need ACTION!
Thanks for having us here and for listening to the voices of children.
Speech 2
Ladies and Gentlemen，
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak to
you today. I wish， however， we could do more than just talk. The Earth Summit is not just about good speeches and big words; it is about doing something about the problems we are facing. I will try to do something right now， right here. That’s why I have brought this big bag. What do you think is in it? Well， I’ll show you. Yes， that’s right， rubbish! On my way over here， I picked up the rubbish I saw in rubbish bins on the street so that I could talk to you about what rubbish really is. Some of you might think that rubbish is what we throw away， something useless that only causes problems. Well， I say that that’s rubbish. Let me explain what I mean. What is really in this bag? Resources， possibilities， money， jobs and solutions! What we call rubbish today is actually the resources of tomorrow. Let me tell you how we can use rubbish — some left-over food， a milk carton， and an empty bottle — to make the future greener， cleaner， and better， and to make money.
