Lesson 5 Environmental Innovations

 

Listen & Talk 1

B I think we’re using too many plastic bags. 

 

G I agree. It’s not good for the environment. 

 

How can we reduce our use of plastic bags? 

 

B In my opinion, we should bring reusable bags when we go shopping.

G Jiho, hurry up! 

 

The elevator is going up soon.

 

 B The science room is just on the third floor. 

 

Why don’t we take the stairs? 

 

G I don’t want to walk all the way up there. 

 

B Come on. Elevators use lots of energy. 

 

We need to save energy to protect the environment. 

 

G But one elevator ride doesn’t use that much energy. 

 

B That’s true, but the energy from all the elevator rides adds up over time.

 

 In my opinion, taking care of the environment starts with the little things. 

 

G You have a point. 

 

Let’s take the stairs.

B Today, I’d like to make a suggestion about the trash problem at our school. 

 

I’ve found that many students just throw things away instead of recycling them. 

 

As you know, however, recycling is very important because it saves resources and helps protect the environment. 

 

So, in my opinion, we need to reduce the number of trash cans at school to encourage recycling. 

 

Why don’t we place four different colored recycling bins on every floor instead? 

 

This will remind students to separate the paper, glass, plastic, and cans properly.

B Our club is holding a photo contest next week. 

 

G What kinds of photos will be in it? 

 

B The theme is pollution around the world. 

 

We are holding this contest to raise students’ awareness of environmental problems. 

 

G That sounds nice. 

 

I can’t wait to see it!

G I read a cool article today.

 

 B What was it about? 

 

G It was about a new bag. 

 

It just looks like a plastic bag, but it’s made mostly of corn. 

 

B That sounds really amazing. 

 

G Yes, but there’s more. 

 

The bag breaks down in soil in only three months and disappears in about three minutes in warm water! 

 

B Wow! That will help us reduce plastic waste by a lot! 

 

G I know! The company will start selling the bag sometime this year. 

 

I can’t wait to use it!

B What are we going to do this weekend, Mihee? 

 

G Why don’t we go to the sheep park near my house? 

 

B A sheep park? How interesting! 

 

Are there really sheep in the park? 

 

G Yes. They are there to protect the environment. 

 

B How can they help the environment? 

 

G You know, people usually use chemicals to kill unwanted plants. 

 

The sheep in the park eat those plants, so the chemicals are not needed. 

 

B What a bright idea!

 

 I can’t wait to visit the park!

 

 

 

 

Do It Yourself

G I want to buy a new bag. 

 

B You already have too many bags. 

 

In my opinion, you don’t need any more. 

 

G But I’m bored with my old bags. 

 

B Then how about using old clothes to make a new bag? 

 

You can find out how to do it online. 

 

G Oh, that sounds interesting! 

 

I can’t wait to make my own bag.
