1.
M: I’m going to talk to you about house fires/ In a house fire, you should always call
the emergency services. We will come as soon as we can. Before that, you should fo
outside of your house. Always do this first. Do not go back into your house until the
emergency services say it’s OK.
2.
W: Next, we are going to talk about floods. What should people do during a flood?
B: They should stay inside their houses.
W: Good idea.
G: They should board up their windows.

a typhoon or a flood. You should keep extra supplies in a safe place and listen to the
radio or TV to learn more information.

Task 2. 6. diseases 7. stay indoors 8.sick

9. renewable energy/ solar or wind 10. public transportation
Bài nghe:
Pollution is a problem in many places. But air pollution affects our town the most. It
causes many diseases. Every year, thousands of people die because of air pollution. If
12
we don't do anything to improve it, we will need to stay indoor most days. Children
won't be able to play outside. And exercising outdoors will make you sick. So what
can we do to reduce air pollution? The power plants often cause lots of air pollution.
Our government should use renewable energy like solar or wind instead of coal or
oil. Each of us should save electricity because it takes lots of energy to make
electricity. The town should make public transportation better so people will use it
more. If we all walk, ride our bikes, or use public transportation, there will be less
traffic and air pollution.
