Sample 1

Do you like life in the city? LL = Lily KK= Kally

L: Do you like city life?

K: Generally, I think life is OK here, except ...

L: Except what?

K: I mean the environment here is getting worse.

L: Getting worse?

K: Yeah. For example, what we hear isn’t the singing of birds but the noise from the cars,

loudspeakers and planes.

L: And the water in the river running across the city has been seriously polluted.


K: It even smells. L: I think people should be aware of the problem. K: They have been paying attention to it. But once

the environment has been polluted, it is very difficult to have it restored to its original state.

L: Maybe it is the cost we have to pay for the fast economic development we have achieved.

K: What are the things we should do right now to improve the environment?

L: The first thing we should do is to raise people’s awareness of environmental protection.

K: And to take effective measures to improve the environment so that we can hope for a better quality of life here.

Sample 1


J: Nowadays we’re facing the problem of how to dispose of the garbage in the city.

T: Don’t we have dumping pits (垃圾场 )?

J: But they are being filled up and now new pits have to be found for use.

T: Why not use it as an energy resource? For example, we can burn it to produce electricity.

J: But only part of the garbage can be used that way. The rest of it is still a problem.

T: Maybe we should sort it out first and find a different way for both.

Sample 2

What can we do with the garbage ? T=Tina J= Jacky


J: Yes, some of it may be recycled, some may be reused to produce energy, but still there’ll be some left to be thrown away.

T: You mean we can’t make full use of the waste?

J: I’m afraid not. Waste is waste.

T: Probably the best way to solve the problem is never to produce any waste.

J: Is that possible?

T: Anyway, we should try to produce as little waste as possible. Then we don’t have to spend so much to get rid of the waste.

Task One

A: Which kind of pollution do you think is more serious in this city?

B: In the past, air pollution was a big problem. But at present, water pollution has become the first concern.

A: Why is that? B: Three years ago regulations were enforced to

limit the quantity of the gas emitted by cars and factories, and ever since air pollution has been lessened.

A: But can’t we do the same about water pollution?

Task: Talk about the measures taken to reduce any kind of pollution in your city.


Task Two

A: Mike, I often hear the media using the term “white pollution”. What does it mean? B: It refers to the plastic bags and food boxes people

throw away carelessly. A: I see. But why should people make such a fuss about that. They’re just bags and boxes, anyway. B: Perhaps there’s something you don’t understand. A: What’s that? B: The material used to make those bags and boxes takes over 100 years to deteriorate (降解 ). A: That’s really a very serious problem. I don’t want to be surrounded by those bags and boxes. B: Neither does the next generation! Task: Talk about environmental pollution in your place.


Task ThreeA: It’s really very nice to have had a picnic here on

the beach! B: Hamburgers and cola never tasted better than at

this moment. A: Oh, my God. It’s 6:30 now. We should hurry back

to the college. Let’s go. B: Wait! Don’t forget to pick up the cola bottles and

the plastic bags. A: Why? They’re empty and useless. Can’t we just

leave them here? B: Absolutely not. If everybody leaves used things

here, this beautiful site will be ruined very soon. A: You’re right. Let’s collect them and take them

away. Task: Discuss with your partner what you do with litter.


Task FourA: I’m just wondering why people sort out different

kinds of refuse. B: People sort them out to recycle them in different

ways. A: How? B: For example, some refuse can be burned without

doing much harm to the environment, some can be reused, some can be recycled, and some should be buried.

A: Then how about waste water? What can we do about it?

B: Polluted waste water should be specially treated before it is released or recycled.

Task: Talk about waste disposal in your area.


Task FiveA: Have you heard the news that a panda was injured and the newspaper calls on people to donate money to save its life?

B: Yes. These days the zoo has become the center of people’s concern.

A: Why are people so concerned about pandas?

B: Because they are so few in number that they’ve become an endangered species.

A: I’m afraid they’re not the only endangered species.

B: No, they aren’t. When the environment is getting worse, many animals are endangered and their species are on the verge of extinction.

Task: Talk about how to protect endangered animals.
