1     what are you reading so absorbedly, glenn?

   

2   it's a booklet about environmental protection and the use of recycling. you should read it too. there is lots of useful information.

   

1   : i see. that's an interesting issue. i'm used to recycling plastic bottles, but what else can we recycle?

2 : nearly everything. all items can be recycled for further creation of new products. basically, the old and unwanted materials are put into new use instead of just throwing away.

1   i didn't know about that. for me, recycling simply meant the reduction in the size of landfills.

2: well, it's one of the most notable benefits that come from recycling. however nature and wildlife preservation is also important.

   

1: what do you mean by that?

2: for example, paper recycling alone saves millions of trees. as we save trees from chopping, we save lots of wild animals, whose habitat is the forest or jungle.

1 now, i understand. in that sense i fully support recycling. i don't like that many animals become extinct. last month i even participated in a campaign against animal testing.

2: unfortunately, most people don't care about nature problems. environmental protection is of no importance for them.

   

1: we could prepare a project on this topic and present it to the locals.

2: do you think we'll have supporters?

1: of course. i'm sure that many people are interested in clean environment and healthy surrounding.

2: we could cover some other topics connected with environmental protection as well.

   

1: which, for example?

   

2: apart from this booklet, i found an article in the magazine about various types of pollution, their harm and ways of avoidance.

   

1 sounds like a good topic. i could give a speech about recycling, while you could prepare a speech about air, water and other types of pollution.

2: i don't mind. i can speak for hours about this topic. when it comes to pollution, the main source of harm is technological progress and factory tests. modern factories throw into the environment so much waste that many sea animals die, people get sick, wildlife suffers.

1: what other types of environmental pollution do you know, except the air and water pollution?

glenn: i know there exist noise and light pollution. there are also visual and thermal types of pollution.

2: never heard of them. i wonder how these things happen?

   

1 imagine constant noise coming from airplanes, motor vehicles, construction process, etc. they all lead to high levels of human and animal stress. bright street lamps, extra lights around the home negatively affect human health.

   

2: what about visual and thermal pollution?

   

1: we speak about visual pollution, when numerous skyscrapers block the natural view. they make the cities look dull without enough sunlight in the streets. excessive billboards are also considered to cause visual pollution. thermal pollution can be caused by nearby manufacturers, when they pump warm and dirty water into natural water bodies.

   

2: that's a rather complex topic. i would appreciate if you spoke about it. there are many issues which i've never heard or met before. i'm sure that many people in the town are just like me - illiterate in terms of environmental problems. so, they'd interested to learn something new.

1) thanks to them and the whole organization these wonderful buildings have been preserved for future generations. 2) in cities where there are more students than here attending the same university, there are sometimes separate morning and afternoon sessions. 3) with this in mind it’s no surprise that a 50 km skiing marathon was excluded. (не ! ) 4) zorbing involves being inside a transparent plastic inflated ball. 5) i couldn’t really understand what’s so thrilling about bouncing a ball up and down a pitch.
