Luckily, there are some renewable energy sources we can use Unlike non-renewable fossil fuels, they will not run out Three forms of renewable fuels are: solar (coming from the sun) energy, water energy and wind energy All these renewable energy sources are essential for us because they will not run out, so we need to get better and better at using them UNIT 11: TRAVELLING IN THE FUTURE WEEK Exercise 1: Listen and repeat the sentences (Track 21} Do you prefer the beach or the mountains?
