C. Listen and Answer

W: There are a few things you should do to save our planet. Firstly, buy eco-friendly products. Using things that are made from recycled materials will save our limited resources. Secondly, use water efficiently. Reducing your shower time by one minute will cut CO2 emissions by 7 kilograms. Lastly, save energy. This will also lower your monthly electricity bill. By adopting small habits, we can pass on a healthier Earth to our children.

D. Build a Dialogue

B: I make it a habit to take a shower in five minutes or less.

Level Up Your Speaking

( Step 1 ) Listen to the Presentation

M: This graph shows the recycling rates of discarded materials in the U.S. According to the graph, the most commonly recycled material is batteries. It also shows that tires are recycled more commonly than paper. Finally, of all the discarded materials, glass is the least likely to be recycled. It seems that Americans don’t bother to recycle glass as much as other waste. I think they should take steps to improve the recycling rate of glass.
