Pp Hello and welcome to The Future is Green. Today we're talking about a special project to make schools more environmentally friendly. We have a pupil from Year 12, Michael James, to tell us about it Hi, Michael, and thanks for talking to us today. “That's OK. im missing a few lessons, so I don’t mind atall P: Haha! Now, can you tall us about your project? How did it bogin? M: About a year and a half ago, one of our teachers started sn after-school club called Friends of the Planet. At first, it was just for pupils from our schoo!, but then we contacted other schools in our area, Now our Friends of the Planet group has members from six other secondary schools. We meet once @ week and for the last six months, we've been warking on this special project. P: I see, What exactly is this special project? M: Basically, we've designed an eco-school of the future. We worked with a group of architects who ate planning to build a schoo! that is more cnviconmentally riendly. The architects contacted ‘our group because they wanted to involve young, people and together, we've made 2 modal of how this eco-schoo!l will ook. Pr Irsounds very exciting. Michael has brought the modal ofthe eco-school into the studio with him. Can you explein it to our listeners, please, Michael? M: Sure, First of all, we have solar panels on the roof of the school - there aro fifty panels altogether. P: And will hey provide power for the whole school? Yes, that’s the idea. It will save a lot of money on electricity P: Ab yes, lean imagine, Tell me about the garden. M: Oureco-schoo! will gow vegetables and we'll use them for school dinners, So our school dinners will bbe very orgenie and much cheaper than buying food fram the local supermarket or even from a local farm, We'll also have chickans, rabbits and ducks. ‘And will they go into the school dinners too? Ha ha, nol That would be terrible. They'll be pets and they'll be useful. They'll eat the leftovers from the kitchen and the chickens will provide eggs. Very good. So what other plans do you have to make the school more environmentally friendly? M: Well use low-energy light bulbs in all the classrooms, We'll also have recycling bins in every classroam and in the school grounds. ‘And what about your lessons - will they be different from non-eco-schools? Most of our lessons willbe similar to lessons in any secondary school, But in our Science lessons we'll focus more on environmental issues like climate change and global warming. Then, in our Technology lessons we'll learn about things like renewable energy and even how to make solar panels, P: | s00. Well, we've almost run out of timo. Thank you for talking to us about your project. t's very nice to meet a teenager who is s0 concerned about the environment. In my experience, most seventeen and eightoen-year-olds are only interested in gadgets and games. Mz Well, ike gadgets and games too, but | probably worry about the environment more than my friends.

Let me begin by Ging te listeners some bese information about the monarch buttoriy tis recognised bys unique Cronge and black pattern, And tough itis found In Australia, New Zealand! and Indonesia, the largest population isin the United States. The monerch is famous fo its long migration in the late suramer fromm the United States to Mexico, where it goes to spend the winter Millons of butterflies go to forests there, where they are protected from rain and freezing cold temperetures. Otherwise, they will die P: But there's @ problem JC: Yes, there is, The monarch iin danger. A recent report said the number of butterflies that arved in Mexico this year was sixty percent less than last yea. In fac, ‘numbers have been fain forthe est saven years, I numbers contiaue to fail the monarch butte ly wl completely disappear from North America. So if fewer butterflies are reaching Mexico, does that ‘mean the problem is in tho Urited States? JC: Partly, yes. You see, the monarch butterfly depends ‘ona plant callad mikweed to survive. I's the only food young monarch butterflies eat. In the United States, the chemicals that farmers use on crops are destroying the mkweed plant, So if we want to save the monarch butterfly, we have to protect the mikwoed plant. Ps What else is making it iffcult fr the monarch butterfly to survive? JC: The monarch goes to a specific forest ares in Mexico. Unfortunately, logging in that area is reducing the number of tes. The troos, which are cut down ilegally and sold, are the homes of the monarch, P: So, many are dying in the US decause they don’t have enough food and then the ones that manage toarrve in Mexico have a smaller area to live in JC: That's right Finding a solution is hard because it involves two different countries and two different problams.ifwe can pecsuade farmers in the US ‘otto use certain chemicals, that will be a big step forward. Butf the logging in Mexico isn't stopped, the number of monarchs will continue to drop. Both problems are serious and must be solved at the same time PIs there any good news for the monorch? JE: Actually, there is, The monarch is becomiag more common in Bermuda because people are planting milkweed in their gardens, And monarch butterflies bbom in Bermuda stay there all year due tothe warm weather. Perhaps these island monarchs will save the species. Unit 6 6.1 Vocabulary GEERT 13.00] Exercises 3 and 4, pages 72 and 73 Woah, that's erazy!

So what went wrong? ‘They didn’t ask me about my work - they asked me hat | was going to wear to the Oscars. They asked me wha | was dating and why fd split up with my fiancé, They asked if/d put on weight and whothor Iwas on a diet. J: They asked you what? D: Yes... And that’s not all. They wanted to take photographs and they asked me to wear something feminine. Then they asked me not to lock too serious and to blow a kiss at the camera, Blow a kiss! Whe do they think | am?

Focus review 7 (REET 73-125] Exercise 7, page 95. ‘On the show today we'd lke to hear your thoughts, ‘on the famous Notting Hill Carnival in London. 1. ove Caribbean culture and the festival is great fun, but you can enjoy it even more if you go well prepared, and believe me, | learnt the hard way! Most importantly, you need to wear comfortable shoes, Leave the high heels at home because you can't dance in them and never, ever woar sandals. You wan't come across a bigger street festival in Europe; it's crowded, and I promise you other dancers will stop on your toes. You don't want to spend the rest of the day with sore feet ke | did 2 Whatis absolutely fantastic about the Notting Hil Carnival is it changes the mood in London. There's ‘an amazing party atmosphere and lot of itis thanks to the parade. It looks lke the Rio carnival in Brazil with the floats and the crowds of people dancing inthe streets. And although everyone would agree that London is a great city, it isn't exactly famous for its vibrant colours. Well, for one weekend a year, itjust explodes with every colour under the sun. The make-up and costumes of the performers are the brightest I've ever seen! 3 Have the crowds, the noise and the carnival atmospherel Everyone's so happy and lively. Every yar, our dance teacher makes us work hard and we practise until our feet are sore. When our families como to watch us in the parade, we want to make them proud, Mur always tells me that Im the best dancer inthe group, which probably isn't tue bout that’s OK, I enjoy it anyway! The Notting Mill Carnival was, and stilis, atime for people to get together aad have fun. Im really glad someone came up with the idea! 4 I'm extremely lucky! Ive in Notting Hil, 30 ‘the carnival is practically on my doorstop. It gets fairy noisy here, but | don't ring all ‘the performers and the Caribbean music at al. Of ‘course, the streets are pretty crowded 00 with all the visitors ~ apparently, over a milion people attended this year. Some local residents told me that they found the carnival rather annoying because it made it difficult for them to come and go, but really, it’s only on for three days. I love every minute and always look forward to it! Unit 8 : 5 8.3 Listening TERETHEIZG Exercises 3 and 4, page 99 P= Presenter D = Dani Pr: This week our special report asks, Are we doing ‘onough to help young offenders to hecome better citizens?” Today three aut of four young offenders who are released from prison go on to commit ‘another crime and return to prison, The government say they want to improve education ia young ‘offenders’ prisons. But some people belive that young offenders’ prisons are already too soft. They think that you should make an example of teenagers who break the law. They want harder and longer punishments. To talk to us about that we havo seventeen-year-old ex-offender Daniel Smith inthe studio with us, Hello, Danial D: Holo. P: Daniel, you've recently been released from a young offenders’ prison, What's itlike inside a young offenders’ prison? D: Noisy. There's a lot of shouting and fighting, We're locked in our cells at 8.15 at night and we can watch television until 2 an. If we do something wrong, they take our television away. Pr I's96. So, tellus about the opportunities for education, D: We could choose from about fifty differant subjects Everything from musie production to gardening to cooking. did about twenty hours of lessons every week. You're paid for each lesson you go to and then you can spend that money on sweets or phone calls, P: You're paid to go to lessons? D: Yeah. Nobody would go ta lessons if we weren't paid. ttisn’t much -40p a lesson. But !was motivated because this woman came inta the prison and offered me a job when | came out. I'm working now, and that makes a big differance. Pi How many of the other young offenders were as ‘motivated as you to learn new skills? D: Not many. lot of them are happy the way they are and don’t want to change. Pr Isit true that some young offenders like being in prison because they have a better life inside than outside? D: Yeah, that's definitely true, Ono of my mates was homeless before he came into prison. He was wortied about being released - in prison he got food and clean clothes and a warm cell. Outside, he was living in 2 box on the street. The day he was released, he walked into the prison car park and smashed the windows on five cars in the car park. He was back here in a few days. Hm, well that brings me to another point. The government want to improve canditians in young offenders’ prisons. But some people say that this is wrong, They say that these are young people who have committed crimes and they should be punished. One prison guard said, ‘They have ‘education, they have a gym and television ~ it's lke a holiday comp!" What do you say to that? Students’ Book audio script D: Butts not a holiday camp - we can't see our friends | ‘or our family. Doors are lacked, Hon’ want ta go ‘back here. Ifyou want young people to change, you can't lock them in a call nd expect them to change. You have to educate them and make them believe that ‘there isa better life in front of them. Simple as that 8.5 Grammar Exercises 2 and 3, page 102 Judy and Mike were living in a detached house halfway down a nice street. Their house looked lke the other houses, but infact, it was the unluckiest house in the neighbourhood. In a period of five years, they were burgled thirteen timest After each burglary, they had something done to their house to make it safar and more burglar proof. First, they had the locks changed. Then they had a new front door fitted. That did't work, 80 they had a wll built. Nothing stopped the burglaries, After the seventh time, they bought a dog and had a big sign put ‘on tho gate saying ‘Beware! Dangerous dog’. The dog was to0 friendly and they were burgled again. After the thirtcenth time, they were desperate, Finally, Mike found out on the Internet that, according to statistics, the highest number of burglaries happen to detached houses halfway down a street with @ purple door and the number eighty-eight! They couldn't get the house moved to a different location, but they've had the deor painted green and they're going to have the house umber changed, Mike's sure that with a green door and the number 868 on it, they'll never be burgled again! 8.6 Speaking 5] Exercises 2 and 3, page 103 R=Robert $= Sonia Rethink rm going to do voluntary work this term.
