Speaking
Task 1
Look at SUGGESTIONS and match them with their RESULTS.
Then link the sentences with so that or to and talk about how you can
improve the living conditions in our cities.
Suggestions
1. Governments should improve public transport.
2. People should get involved in recycling schemes.
3. We should ban cars from city centres.
4. Government should force factories to put filters on chimneys.
5. The harmful gases won’t be able to pollute the atmosphere.
Results
A. There will be less rubbish to pollute the environment.
B. We will force them to use environmentally friendly production
methods.
C. We can make the street cleaner, safer and quieter.
D. People won’t have to use cars to get around.
E. The harmful gases won’t be able to pollute the atmosphere.
Task 2
Your town is facing serious problems. The streets are full of
rubbish, there are too many cars, people keep cutting down the trees to
make space for more building, the nearby river is being polluted with
chemicals from factories and people are stomach illnesses. Suggest
ways of improving the situation, explaining the results of each sug-
gestion. Use the ideas from the previous task and add your own ideas.
Use words of wisdom: ‘In the eyes of nature we are just another species
in trouble.’
For example:
Rubbish: stricter fines, more bins, advertising (posters around
the city), recycling schemes.
Result: cleaner streets, fewer rats / diseases
Too many cars: ban cars from city centre, improve public trans-
port.
Results: cleaner air, fewer health problems, quieter.
Cutting down trees: for every tree cut down plant ten new ones.
Results: animals won’t lose their natural habitat, there will be
enough oxygen.
Water pollution: heavy fines for factory owners who pollute ri-
vers, lakes or the sea.
Results: marine life won’t be threatened, we can swim in the sea
and drink the water from rivers or lakes, fewer health problems, etc.
