from the combustion of fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and other factory combustibles is one the major causes of air pollution Pollution emitting from vehicles including trucks, jeeps, cars, trains and airplanes cause immense amount of pollution Paragraph 2: Agricultural activities Ammonia is a very common by product from agriculture related activities and is one of the most hazardous gases in the atmosphere The use of insecticides, pesticides and fertilizers in agricultural activities has grown quite a lot They emit harmful chemicals into the air and can also cause water pollution Paragraph 3: Exhaust from factories and industries Manufacturing industries release large amount of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, organic compounds, and chemicals into the air thereby depleting the quality of air Paragraph 4: Mining operations Mining is a process wherein minerals below the earth are extracted using large equipment During the process dust and chemicals are released in the air

the text (Track 15) Solution to air pollution Most people agree that to curb global warming, a variety of measures need to be taken On a personal level, driving and flying less, recycling, and conservation reduces a person’s “carbon footprint” - the amount of carbon dioxide a person is responsible for putting into the atmosphere On a larger scale, governments are taking measures to limit emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases The Paris Agreement, a voluntary agreement among 118 nations ratified on November 4, 2016, is one effort being enacted on a global scale to combat climate change As a part of the agreement, each country agreed to take measures to combat climate change, with the ultimate goal of keeping the post industrial global temperature rise below two degrees Celsius Another method is to put taxes on carbon emissions or higher taxes on gasoline, so that individuals and companies will have greater incentives to conserve energy and pollute less UNIT

speakers vary greatly, from 470 million to more than billion David Crystal calculates that non-native speakers as of 2003 outnumbered native speakers by a ratio of to When combining native and non-native speakers, English is the second most widely spoken language worldwide India has the largest number of second-language speakers of English; Mr Crystal claims that, combining native and non-native speakers, India has more people who speak or understand English than any other country in the world UNIT 9: NATURAL DISASTERS WEEK Exercise 1: Listen and complete the text (Track 18) HISTORY OF HALLOWEEN Mr Huynh Van Lot from Can Tho, Viet Nam, a farmer who spent most his life in the same small Mekong Delta district, has experienced good weather and bad, droughts and floods But this year brought something he’d never seen “The water is salty,” he said “I’ve been living here since my childhood but this is the first time we’ve had salty water All my crops were destroyed.” The region’s worst drought in 90 years, combined with rising sea levels and rampant development are causing a crisis in the Mekong Delta, known as Vietnam’s rice bowl The delta is home to 20 million people and accounts for more than half of Vietnam’s rice and fruit production, 90% of its rice exports and 60% of fishery exports A United Nations report released in March about the drought estimated that about 393,000 acres of rice in Vietnam was already lost, with an additional 1.2 million acres likely to be damaged Almost million people lack water for daily consumption The figures are alarming but could grow worse if weather extremes become more common in years to come Exercise 2: Listen and complete the sentences (Track 19) Flood A flood is land covered by water that is not usually covered by water This means that any time a river, lake, or other body of water overflows its banks, it’s technically flooding However, most people think of the more catastrophic types of floods, as those are the type that cause widespread damage and loss of life Unless a flood causes some kind of financial damage or loss of life to humans or livestock, it’s not considered a significant flood Because so much of the damage inflicted by floods has long-lasting consequences, floods are among the most catastrophic of natural disasters Flood often results in loss of life and cause emotional trauma for those who have gone through it Even if people have not been directly affected by the loss of life, losing property, houses, or land can cause physiological damage Especially if the people affected are unable to rebuild due to the houses being too badly damage, farm land being inundated with salt water, or lack of resources to rebuild, many find the recovery to be more than just physical UNIT 10: COMMUNICATION WEEK Exercise 1: Listen and complete the sentence (Track 20) ADVANTAGES OF FACE TO FACE COMMUNICATION With technology continuing to evolve, the different ways to communicate are endless; the telephone, email, mobile phone, Skype and social media are integral to work life today Yet despite this, I believe that face to face is the best way to communicate Advantages 1: body language An authority on body language, James Borg says that human communication consists of 93% body language and paralinguistic cues, while only 7% consists of words Body language speaks a lot louder than words; you can gain a better understanding of how a candidate or client is feeling than you would otherwise be able to through other forms of communication Advantages 2: value For many companies, travel and meeting budgets were the first to get cut back when the recession hit, but travelling to meet a client or candidate shows them that they’re worth your time and money, and vice versa The more face to face communication you can have the better You’ll have their attention 100%, and your message is guaranteed to be heard Advantages 3: building relationships In a survey by Forbes that spoke to 760 business executives 84% preferred face to face communication Out of those, 85% said their reason was that it builds stronger, more meaningful business relationships Respondents of the survey also said face to face meetings are best for persuasion leadership (87%), and engagement (86%) Exercise 2: Listen again and write T (true)/ F (false) for each statement UNIT 11: SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY WEEK Exercise 1: Listen and complete the sentences (Track 21) DRIVERLESS CARS Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there – they just need to see if they’re value for money, work out insurance issues, and run final tests to check they can run alongside human-driven cars on the road So how they work? The cars have sensors all around which can detect other cars and obstacles in the road Sensors on the wheels also help when parking, so the car knows how far it is from the kerb or other parked cars Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems are used so the car knows how to get to your destination All you have to is type in the address Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information it receives from the sensors and cameras and processes this to work out when to accelerate, brake and steer However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars Computers would have difficulties making ethical decisions; if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or swerve and potentially kill the car’s passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun – I’d miss never being behind the wheel myself There would also be many legal decisions to be made – should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a responsible adult with a driving licence in the car at all times?
