[00:03.89]You are going to hear part of a speech on Earth Day.
[00:07.11]Listen to the tape and answer the following questions.
[00:11.15]Part One  Ladies and Gentlemen today we are celebrating Earth Day.
[00:17.92]Earth Day is a day for reflection and action,
[00:22.36]today people in countries all over the world
[00:26.44] get together to discuss the Earth and our future,
[00:30.59]and to take action to improve the current situation.
[00:34.64]Earth Day is a chance for us to learn about the world,and change our behaviour.
[00:40.80]It helps me understand that we must be act.
[00:44.33]If I had known more about the earth in the past,
[00:47.86]I would have made different choices about what to do and what to buy.
[00:52.72]It is never too late to change.
[00:55.54]I'm here today to talk about one of the most important problems we are facing.
[01:01.78]In my view,the most important challenge ahead of us
[01:05.54]is to find a way to protect the water on our planet.
[01:09.90]75% of the earth is covered by rivers,lakes and oceans,
[01:15.91]so it is truly a water planet.
[01:19.07]Unfortunately,most of the water can not be used for drinking.
[01:23.80]The earth is already becoming a thirsty planet.
[01:27.85]But there are still time to do something about the problem.
[01:32.24]If we want to have enough water in the future,
[01:35.69]we must learn to take better care of our water,
[01:39.66]we must stop polluting the water
[01:42.90]we must learn to save water in our daily life.
[01:46.74]Part two  We should take better care of our water,
[01:51.70]most of the fresh water on the earth is being used for farming.
[01:56.66]We use clean water to grow food.
[01:59.82]We need food of course,
[02:02.70]but we must be more careful when we use our water.
[02:07.06]Too much water is being wasted because we are using all the ways of watering our plant.
[02:13.41]We must solve this problem if we want to have enough water in the future.
[02:18.74]The best way to solve the problem
[02:21.61]is to use the knowledge and technology that some country have already developed.
[02:27.46]If we work together and share what we know
[02:31.41] we will be building a better future for all of us.
[02:35.48]We must stop polluting our water,
[02:39.01]even if we succeed in making more water available to us
[02:43.87] we must still do something about water pollution.
[02:47.39]We are polluting water at an alarming pace.
[02:51.18]Cars,factories and airconditioners pollute the air and the water,
[02:56.93]we must change the way we think and the way we live.
[03:01.60]Let's not drive if we can walk or ride a bike.
[03:05.65]Let's try not to use airconditioners more than what is absolutely necessary.
[03:11.56]Let's not buy products that cause pollution.
[03:15.42]Let's make new rules
[03:17.77]and use new technology to make sure that factories are green and clean.
[03:23.34]Keep in mind that we,you and I are the ones who must change.
[03:29.08]This brings me to my final point.
[03:31.85]We must stop using too much water in our daily life.
[03:39.12]Integrating skills  listening and speaking.
[03:43.37] voices of the Earth Summit  Speech one.
[03:47.19]Hi,we are three children from three different continent.
[03:52.15]And we'd like to tell you what we think about the environment.
[03:57.32]The children of the world are disappointed,
[04:00.85]because too many adults are too interested in money
[04:05.58] and wealth to take notice of serious problems that are effect our future.
[04:11.64]Young people from all over the world
[04:15.11]have many thing to say about the environment,
[04:18.87]but we all agree on one serious problem.
[04:23.03]Most leaders don't listen,
[04:25.90]we are here today because we want you to listen,to listen to everybody.
[04:32.56]Here's what the children of the world are saying:
[04:36.51]Governments of the world,must.
[04:39.67]Make sure that all people from developing countries have free access to clean drinking water.
