Hi Rob! Do you have any ideas about what we could do for Earth Day?4

I guess you’re right. How about organising a clean-up day?

I don’t think so. I wish we had the time and money to organise such an event, but I’m afraid we don’t.

That’s a great idea! Let’s get started!

Yes. What about organising an exhibition on solar power for Earth Day?

Nội dung bài nghe:

Andy: Hi Laura! How was your holiday?

Laura: It was amazing, thanks Andy. What an adventure!

Andy: You went to Madagascar, right? Did you see lots of wildlife there?

Laura: Of course. In fact, I went there to help the wildlife.

Andy: What do you mean?

Laura: It was an eco-holiday. I was there to help clean up the environment and protect the wildlife.

Andy: That’s sounds interesting!

Laura: It was incredible. Sadly, we have a lot of environmental problems on our planet today and in Madagascar, they have problems too. The main problem is that their forests are becoming smaller, so animals are losing their homes. Plastic pollution is another problem, and some species are in danger for other reasons too.

Andy: What did you do to help?

Laura: Well, I picked up rubbish on the beaches and I planted trees. I also helped to protect the nesting grounds of the turtles. That was definitely my favourite task.

Andy: Wow! Was it expensive?

Laura: Well, it wasn’t cheap because it is far away, but I don’t think it cost much more than a luxury holiday. The difference is that the money helps the local people, so it’s well worth it.

Hướng dẫn dịch:

Andy: Chào Laura! Kì nghỉ của bạn thế nào?

Laura: Thật tuyệt vời, cảm ơn Andy. Đó là một cuộc phiêu lưu!

Andy: Bạn đã đến Madagascar, phải không vậy? Bạn có thấy nhiều động vật hoang dã ở đó không?

Laura: Tất nhiên. Trên thực tế, tớ đến đó để giúp đỡ động vật hoang dã.

Andy: Ý bạn là gì á?

Laura: Đó là một kỳ nghỉ sinh thái. Tớ đã ở đó để giúp làm sạch môi trường và bảo vệ động vật hoang dã.

Andy: Điều đó nghe có vẻ thú vị!

Laura: Thật kinh ngạc. Nhưng đáng buồn thay, chúng ta có rất nhiều vấn đề môi trường trên hành tinh ngày nay và ở Madagascar cũng vậy. Vấn đề chính là rừng của họ ngày càng nhỏ, vì vậy động vật mất chỗ ở. Ô nhiễm nhựa là một vấn đề khác và một số loài cũng đang gặp nguy hiểm vì những lý do khác.

Andy: Bạn đã làm gì để giúp đỡ vậy

Laura: À, tớ nhặt rác trên bãi biển và trồng cây. Tớ cũng đã giúp bảo vệ khu vực làm tổ của những con rùa. Đó chắc chắn là nhiệm vụ yêu thích của tớ.

Andy: Wow! Chuyến đi có đắt không?

Laura: À, nó không rẻ vì nó ở xa, nhưng tớ không nghĩ nó đắt hơn một kỳ nghỉ sang trọng. Sự khác biệt là số tiền đó sẽ giúp ích cho những người dân địa phương, vì vậy nó rất xứng đáng.
