And she’s going to tell us about how to make more space in our closets! B: It's quite easy to make more storage space in your closets if you go about it systematically. ‘The first thing you need to dois to empty your closets and sort everything into three bags: things you need every ‘week or every day, things that you only need sometimes, and things you can throw away. Take this opportunity to zget rid of things you'll never wear or use again. The rule is: if you haven't worn it for a year, throw it away. Next, separate your clothes into summer and winter clothing. In summer, you can store your winter clothing in boxes under the bed, to make more space in your closet. After that, put all the things you need every day on the idaile shelf of your closet. Put all the things you don’t need very often on the top shelf, or right at the bottom. Then, you need to onganize the shelves so that you can. find the things quickly when you need them. Use small baskets and boxes to help you organize small objects like A: A look at this shower and @Ay Track 20 ‘See the text on p. 38 for the audio script.

This can save you time when | you are looking for something in a hurry. Finally, think about using the vertical space in your closets. It’s useful to have lots of hooks in your closet to hang up objects like your umbrella, or hairdryer, or hats and scarves. ‘Thanks so much, Maureen, for these wonderful ideas and tips. I'm going to get started on my closet tomorrow! Welcome to our “Guess the Food” contest! Four volunteers from the audience are going to wear a blindfold and taste these foods without seeing or smelling, them, Can they guess what they're eating? We start with volunteer number one: Mmm ... 'm eating this with a spoon. I's a little greasy, bbut it’s also crunchy, salty, and sweet at the same time. ‘Oh, it tastes of nuts.

It was lemon cheesecake. Congratulations! And now volunteer number three Let's see, I'm holding a piece of this food in my fingers. Ws... it’s very juicy ... ahhh, it’s really sour! That's. a lemon, Sorry! Are you OK? But you did very well. And you were right. This is a lemon! And now our last volunteer, number four. It’s soft and mushy, I'm eating this with a fork, but i’s| quite salty ... oh, yes, and very, very hot and spicy’... oh, it's burning my mouth! I recognize ths. It's fied beans with chili peppers. Spicy! That’ right! Well done and thank you to all of our | volunteers today! Thanks so much for helping me with the picnic today, Kate, That’s no problem. I'm glad to help. I hope I got enough food at the supermarket. OK, let's check the list and see. How many bags of potato chips did you get? ‘Ten, and six packages of cookies, too. That's great, And how many cans of soda? ‘Twelve, one for each of us. And also two large bottles of water Tbought three jars of peanut butter, and three jars of jam. ‘There's only one problem. I'm on a diet and Ican’t eat any | Of this food. So I brought some apples for my lunch! Track 23, 1 While I was in Australia, I visited a restaurant that served, crocodile cutlets It's extremely tough and not that tasty. In fact, it was too difficult to cut and I gave up half way through, 2 In Sweden they eat this strange kind of pickled herring. I's kept in a wooden barrel for a year. You eat it with potatoes, a litle onion, and a few tomatoes, usually served on thin hard bread. It tastes delicious, kind of sour and sweet at the same time—but the smell is disgusting! 3 The most unusual food I have ever tasted is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I can’t believe people eat that for lunch in the US. Why would you put salty food and sweet food together like that? It’s not healthy enough, and it tastes really strange.

Pelicans live in Florida in especially large numbers inthe bird preservation area known as Pelican Island. Pelicans reproduce once a year, laying two to three eggs at a ‘time. The male and female pelicans work together to make the nest and incubate the eggs. The males collect the building ‘material and the females build the nest. The nests are on the ground. They incubate the eggs for 28 to 30 days. Itis amazing that Pelican chicks can learn to communicate with their parents while they are stil inside the egg. Pelican chicks make sounds from inside the egg when they are too hot orcold! Both parents feed and care for their young. They take turns to catch fish during the day, and bring the fish back to the nest, carrying it in their beaks. The young pelicans dip their beaks into their parents’ beaks to get the fish. Baby pelicans often Jearn to swim before they learn to fly Track 26 ‘See the text on p. 50 for the audio script. c B Unit 9 7 Track 27 f What are you going to do to help the environment? : mot going to drive my car and use public transportation instead, And you?
