“The future of the world lies in its urban environments. More than half the world’s population live in cities and
that number is growing. This rapid influx of people creates possibility but it also creates challenges. How can
the cities of today grow and thrive to become the places we want to live in tomorrow?”

“People ask me… Thor, how can I be like you, the strongest man on earth? Well the answer is just in front of
your eyes. Sparkling water. This is my brand: Heavy Bubbles. We have 2 kilos, 5 kilos and 10 kilos. What if I
can’t carry it? If you can’t carry you can’t drink. You die. You can even become stronger just by carrying it
back home from the supermarket. What if I bought other stuff? Don’t buy other stuff. Heavy Bubbles,
sparkling water that make you sweat.”

“ (Presenter)… meaning the active ‘lying with a person’, what word appears on a T-Shirt that warns it often…
‘leads to forking’: chop sticking, herring knifing, salad tonguing or spooning. (Contestant) So I’ve been in
High School I definitely or when I was in High School I heard a lot of this very often, so… I’m pretty positive
with that the answer is D. Spooning. Final answer. (Presenter) That is correct (Applause)”

Chris Fawkes: “Hello there. Our weather turned much colder towards the end of last week. And for the
weekend ahead is going to stay on the chilly side. Now, at the moment, we’ve got a cold front pushing

gonna feel quite chilly this afternoon the temperatures for most of us are around five or six degrees Celsius.
Now overnight our week while the front continues its journey southwards, there could be some of spots of
light rain or drizzle on this as it pushes into the Midlands. Probably staying quite cloudy in the southwest.
Now along this front, there probably be some mist and fog patches but aside from that it’s gonna be a very
cold night. So widespread frost. Could be one of the coldest nights of the winter so far in northern Scotland,
that takes on into…”

TAREA 2A
Presenter: We are going to end today with the words of 15-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg who
addressed the UN Plenary Session last night.
Greta Thunberg: “My name is Greta Thunberg. I’m 15 years old and I’m from Sweden. I speak on behalf of
Climate Justice Now. Many people say that Sweden is just a small country and it doesn’t matter what we
do. But I’ve learned that you are never too small to make a difference. And if a few children can get
headlines all over the world just by not going to school, then imagine what we could all do together if we
really wanted to.
But to do that we have to speak clearly. No matter how uncomfortable that may be. You only speak of a
green eternal economic growth because you are too scared of being unpopular. You only talk about
moving forward with the same bad ideas that got us into this mess, even when the only sensible thing to
do it’s pull the emergency brake. You are not mature enough to tell it like it is. Even that burden you leave
to us, children. But I don’t care about being popular. I care about climate justice and a living planet.
Our civilization is being sacrifice for the opportunity of a very small number of people to continue
making enormous amounts of money. Our biosphere is being sacrificed so that rich people in countries
like mine, can live in luxury. It is the sufferings of the many which pay for the luxuries of the few. The year
th
2078 I will celebrate my 75 birthday. If I have children may be they will spend that day with me. May
be they will ask me about you. May be they will ask me why you didn’t do anything while there still
was time to act. You say you love your children above all else, and yet you’re stealing their future in
front of their very eyes.
Until you start focusing on what needs to be done rather than what is politically possible, there is no hope.
We cannot solve a crisis without treating it as a crisis. We need to keep the fossil fuels in the ground,
and we need to focus on equity. And if solutions within the system are so impossible to find, maybe we
should change the system itself. We have not come here to beg world leaders to care. You have ignored us
in the past and you will ignore us again. We have run out of excuses and we are running out of time. We
have come here to let you know that change is coming, whether you like it or not. The real power
belongs to the people. Thank you”.
Presenter: You’ve just been listening to 15-year-old Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg,
addressing UN Plenary last night. She’s called for a Global School Strike on Friday. That does it for our
show, a very special thanks to Democracy Now, as Mike Burke, John Hamilton and Sam Alcoff and Libby
Rainey. I’m Amy Goodman, thank you so much for joining us.

TAREA 2B
When I was 25 I was a single mum with three small children, living on a Council state in Brixton. I decided
that something had to change. But what I didn’t realise is that by changing my life, y also changed the
lives of many other women all around the world.

I woke up one morning in 1987 with my husband screaming that he was going to kill us all. He threatened
me before, but I somehow hadn’t taken it seriously. But as soon as he threatened my children, I just thought
“I’m out of here”. So, I got a suitcase, packed up our stuff. I put the twins in the double buggy, got my
three-year-old daughter and we ran down the road.
I phoned up women’s aid, and a few hours later I was in a refuge on the other side of London. I thought, “So,
what am I gonna do now?”
My favourite subject at school was maths. So I enrolled for a maths course at Southwark College. And the
first day that I went in, I was so scared. I walked into the classroom and it was full of mainly men in suits.
And so basically I was petrified. But I saw a woman sitting at the back of the classroom, went and sat next
to her, be became best friends, and in fact we came top of the class at the end of the year. I did a degree in
Computing, then went on to do a PhD, and eventually I got an OBE which was amazing.
I was really shy growing up, and I realised that if I wanted to be successful, I was gonna have to change from
being a shy 25-year-old who was even scared to even talk to people I didn’t know, to someone who was
much more confident.
I’ve got a ritual that I do every time that I’m public speaking. And what I do is… I go into the toilets, and I will
say things like positive things to myself. So I’ll go “I’m and amazing person, I can do anything I want
to do”. Or stand in more of a superhero pose. Just going away and doing that means that I go onto the
stage feeling very positive and kind of radiating energy.
Last year I was speaking to 17,000 women in tech at a conference in Orlando in Florida, and at the end of
my talk I got everyone, so 17,000 women –to say along with me: I’m gonna change the world. And you
know what, we can.
Always ask for promotion. If you think you can go for promotion, go for it. Everytime I could apply for
promotion I did. In several years I got promoted probably four or five times. And that has actually just
massively changed my life and enabled me to affect lots of other people’s lives in a positive way too.
I was in a classroom talking to maybe about 15 mums, and as I was talking, I started realising ‘Oh my
goodness, I’m getting a hot flush, feeling a bit hot”. I couldn’t concentrate so I thought … well so I’m just
going to tell everyone what’s happening and actually that seemed to help us really bond with each
other.
The more that we… kind of… make ourselves vulnerable, talk about things that maybe we wouldn’t
normally expect to talk about, but just everyday stuff, helps everyone to realise that we are all human and
we all go through this.
I’ve over the years changed myself by pushing myself forward. Going for things that scare me half to death.
The main message I would have to anybody is: just get out there and do the things you want to do. You’ve
only got one life. Just go for it.”
