UNIT 3: LISTENING
Task 1. Listen and fill in each blank with one word you hear from the recording. 
Host:  Welcome to our talk show "Green Living". Today, we will hear from two secondary students, David and
Mai, who will talk about the Go Green initiative at their school in Cam Ranh. David, can you tell us how you
came up with the idea?
David: Well, in our science and environmental studies classes, we realised that the way we live can strongly
affect our 1. ……………………... Since we are all passionate about environmental issues, we decided that we
should do something to help our school to go green and save our 2……………………..
Host: So what have you done so far, Mai?
Mai: Two months ago, we launched our "ten-minute a day" mini-project. It involves sparing ten minutes in our
break time for specific green 3…………………………. We wanted to start with something small and involve as
many students as possible.
Host: Great! What exactly are these activities?
David: On Mondays, during the "green ten minutes" students bring old and broken electronics like second-
hand mobile phones and 4…………………………. players for recycling. At the end of the month, we intend to take
the items to one of the electronic 5. ………………………….. centres in the city. We have also started an
6…………………………..vegetable garden, so on Tuesdays, students can spend ten minutes working there,
planting seeds, watering them and making sure they grow into healthy plants. We hope we can pick and eat
our own vegetables. This will teach students that organically grown vegetables are tastier and healthier since
no chemicals or pesticides go into their bodies. There will be no soil 7…………………… caused by chemical
fertilisers.
Mai: On Wednesdays, we invite local environmental groups to have booths at school so students can go and
talk to them during the "Green ten minute", and ask any questions. Then on Thursdays, we check for any
mould growth on the classroom furniture, especially during hot and humid weather.
Host: How about Fridays?
David: We thought the last day of the week would be a good time for a quiz to test our environmental
knowledge and increase our green 8. ………………... So each time a class prepares 9. ………………………. quiz
questions for other students to answer during the "green ten minutes". And we give out prizes for the best
answers.
Host: Sounds fun! Thank you, Mai and David, for sharing your environmental ideas with our listeners. We
hope that your mini-project will inspire more people to change their 10…………………………..and go green.
