III. Listening In
Task 1: We should have proper respect for nature!
Script
Martha: Do you think most people in your culture respect nature? Ed: I think so. Um… more now than before.
Martha: What do you think is the most serious environment problem in the world
today?
Ed: Today…I think damage to the ozone layer is a big problem, and another
problem is pollution in big cities and things like that.
Martha: How do you learn about environmental problems?
Ed: Um… through school. A lot of clubs promote environmental safely, and
some TV programs, too. They talk about environmental safely and stuff like that.
Martha: Do you think students should learn more about the environment at school? Ed: I think so. So, as they grow older, they can be more aware of all the
problems that are going on, and prevent more problems from occurring.
Martha: If you could create a new law to help the environment, what would it be? Ed: A new law for the environment? Um…I’d probably say that when people
throw away their cigarette butts, they have to throw them into the garbage bin, not just throw them everywhere because it’s just littering and I hate that. So they should be fined if they throw them on the floor on the ground.
Martha: That’s a good idea. What do you personally do to help protect the
environment?
Ed: I’ m so against littering. I never litter. If I see somebody litter, I get really
angry. So I always throw my trash into the garbage bin.
玛莎：你认为在你的文化中人们尊重大自然？
艾德：我是这么认为的。嗯……现在比以前更多。
玛莎：你认为什么是当今世界最严重的环境问题？
艾德：今天……我想破坏臭氧层，是一个大问题，一个问题是在大城市的污染等等。
玛莎：你怎么了解环境问题？
艾德：嗯……通过学校。很多俱乐部促进环境安全，和一些电视节目，太。他们谈论环境安全的东西。
