Communication (Page 11)
Tape script
The right side is the wrong side!
Do you know that there are many countries in the world where the traffic rule is to keep to the left? Some of these are the United Kingdom, Australia, India, Thailand, and Malaysia There are different reasons for this One is that some countries used the same system as the UK Another is that many people are right-handed!
Trang 15The main cause of this traffic problem is the increase of the population in big cities
So the number of people using the roads has risen several times The second reason
is that the roads are narrow and sometimes are not good enough Also, many road users have no respect for traffic rules As a result, this problem is getting worse and worse

Unit 10: Sources of Energy
Listening (Page 45)
Tape script
Energy is fundamental to human beings Many poor people in developing countries
do not have modern sources of energy like electricity or natural gas, with which their life can be improved
People who live in mountainous areas have to gather wood for fuel This takes a lot
of time For many people living in rural areas, biogas is the largest energy resource available The main use of biogas is for cooking and heating, but it can also provide energy for public transport As biogas is smoke-free, it helps solve the problem of indoor air pollution Moreover, it's made from plant waste and animal manure They cost almost nothing
Trang 21www.minh-pham.info | 20
The tendency to use renewable energy sources in developing countries is on the increase as n0n-renewable ones are running out In the future, the wind and the sun will be used as the most important environmentally friendly energy sources
