I. LISTENING

Nam and Mai are talking about Mai’s project on ways to save endangered animals. Listen to the conversation and decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).

Mai will complete her mid-term project in two weeks.

Script:

Nam: Hi, Mai. How's your mid-term project going?

Mai: Good! I'm trying to complete it by next Monday. But I'm still working on the last part: saving endangered animals. Do you have any ideas, Nam?

Nam: Well, I think the first thing you should do is help people understand the importance of this problem.

Mai: Yes, I agree. Some people think this is a natural process that would happen with or without humans. They also believe that's not their responsibility.

Nam: You should also do some research on the number of endangered animals. We are losing animals quicker now than ever before. And one of the reasons is illegal hunting.

Mai: Yes, hunting causes a lot of suffering to wild animals. It destroys their natural habitats, and leaves baby animals behind to die.

Nam: Well, I think strict laws can really help. Heavy punishment may prevent people from illegal hunting. Besides, wildlife trade should be banned as well.

Mai: That would stop illegal hunting. Any more ideas, Nam?

Nam: And we should make sure that the souvenirs we buy on holiday are not made from endangered animal parts.

Mai: That's true. Thanks, Nam! You've been so helpful.
