“Our ocean are becoming extremely pollution comes from
the land, which means it comes it comes from the land,
which means it comes from people. Fist, there is raw
sewage, which is pumped directly into sea. Many countries,
both development and developing, are guilty of doing this.
Secondly, ships drop about 6 million tons of garbage into the
sea each year. Thirdly, there are oil leaks from the vessel.
This not only pollutes the water, but it also kills marine life.
Next, there are waste materials from factories. Without
proper regulations, factory owners let the waste run directly
into the rivers, which then leads to the sea. And finally, oil is
washed from land. This can be dumping of waste.

power that doesn’t cause pollution or waste natural work
resources? Look no further than solar energy from our sun.
At present, most of our electricity comes from the use of
coal and gas, oil or nuclear power. This power could be
provide by the sun. One percent of the solar energy that
reaches the Earth is enough to provide power for the total
population.
Many countries are already using solar energy. Solar panels
are placed on the roof of a house and the Sun’s energy is
used to heat water. The energy can be stored for a number
of days, so on cloudy days you can use solar energy too.
Sweden has an advanced solar energy program. There, all
buildings will be heated by solar energy and cars will use
solar power instead of gas by the year 2015”
II. Gap-filling
- Have students look at exercise 4b on page 60 and work in
pairs to guess the words in the blank
- Give feedback
28
29. - Have students listen to the tape again and fill in the gaps.
If students can’t finish, let them listen once more.
* Answer keys:
1. The Sun can be an effective source of power
2. Solar energy doesn’t cause pollution
3. A lot of countries in the world are already using solar
energy
4. It is possible to store solar energy for a number of days.
5. Solar panels are installed on the roof of a house to
receive the energy from the Sun
6. We can save natural resources by using solar energy
instead of coat, gas and oil
* Write it up:
- Have students write passage (about 100 words) about
solar energy, using the information in the two exercises
above
* Sample:
Most of our electricity now comes from coal, gas, oil, or
nuclear power. The sun could provide this power so many
countries are already using energy. Only one percent of the
solar energy that gets to the Earth can provide enough
power for the work’s population. Solar energy is a cheap,
clean effective source of power that doesn’t cause pollution
or waste natural resources.
There’s an advanced solar energy program in Sweden. It is
said that by the year of 2015, all building in Sweden will be
heated by solar energy and cards will use solar power too.
We hope that there is such a program in Vietnam. We can
save natural resources such as coal, oil, gas… by using
solar energy. And every house hold in Vietnam has hot
water in Winter without paying money.
