Read about traffic problems in two cities. Match the city with its problem.
|
A. Ho Chi Minh City |
In Ho Chi Minh City, it is not strange to see the sight of a street that is crowded with vehicles. People cannot move and their health is affected by polluted air from exhausted fumes. What are the reasons? The citizens in the city use many personal vehicles to go from one place to another. They aren't used to transporting by public transports. May be because the bus drivers are careless, impolite to them or the taxi fare is too high for some people.
Bangkok is world renowned for its terrible traffic problems, so getting around on the roads is a bit of a nightmare. In my opinion, there are 3 main causes of Bangkok traffic jams. First, the quality of public transportation is low. Bus is of low quality and causes congestion. Second, the BTS and MRT are not enough for users. Finally, the most important cause of traffic jam is car accidents. Bad bus drivers cause accidents frequently and make the road stuck for hours.
PROBLEMS
1. It has low quality public transport: B. Bangkok.
2. It costs a lot to go by taxi: A. Ho Chi Minh City.
3. There are not enough MRTs for its inhabitants: B. Bangkok.
4. Its citizens use a lot of personal vehicles: A. Ho Chi Minh City.
5. There is a high frequency of accidents: B. Bangkok.

1. Non - renewable sources are being used up. T

5. The new energy source is not costly T
Energy is fundamental to human beings. Many poor people in developing countries do not have modern sources of energy like electricity or natural gas, with which their life can be improved.
People who live in mountainous areas have to gather wood for fuel. This takes a lot of time. For many people living in rural areas, biogas is the largest energy resource available. The main use of biogas is for cooking and heating, but it can also provide energy for public transport. As biogas is smoke-free, it helps solve the problem of indoor air pollution. Moreover, it’s made from plant waste and animal manure. They cost almost nothing.
The tendency to use renewable energy sources in developing countries is on the increase as non-renewable ones are running outệIn the future, the wind and the sun will be used as the most important environmentally friendly energy sources.

People are very social animals. We need to talk with others and do things with other people, too. We often understand ourselves better when we discuss our opinions, emotions, and activities with other people. We need (46) to make meaningful connections with friends and family members. These connections help us put aside our frustrations and worries. We can focus (47) on things that are important, for example, the persons we care about. Your local community is the area near your home. It is where you work, play and go to school. It is the neighborhood where your family (48) have connections with other people.

Older adults often move to smaller homes or vacation areas after their children have grown up. Their children move out to start families of (50) their own. New families move in when others leave. Basic services, such as police, fire, post office, health, and public schools are in almost every community. Businesses provide services to the community, too. Stores sell things that people need. Restaurants sell prepared food; offices provide a variety of skilled work. The local city government is usually an elected mayor and city council. It is their job to listen to the people of the community and help them connect. Some individuals may move on, but the community remains.
There are many means of transport that (1)visitors can use in the city of Athens, the capital of Greence. In order to move around inside the city there is a wide network of buses leading to different areas of Athens, then there are trolleybuses which move with the help of electricity and cover a wide area as well.(2) the suburban raiway is the interchange but since it is quite new in Greece it doesn't yet cover every single prefecture but there are plans for expansion so that other locations are served as well. The metro has connections with the railway train os Athens which can take you trom the Port of Piraeus to the northern suburbs with many stops in between. (3)Athens metro is the quickkest solution of the metro which will take you to the Athens Airport and a few more areas which are a bit far from the center of Athens but inside the prefecture of Attica.

XV. Read the passage and answer the question.
A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the air by your own energy needs. You need transportation, electricity, food, clothing, and other goods. CO2 is produced by the burning of fossil fuels which is used to provide energy for your homes, by the cars you travel in and by the manufacture and transport of goods you buy.
Carbon dioxide is also called greenhouse gas, which causes global warming. That is the reason why the carbon footprint is a very poweful tool to understand the impact of personal behaviours on global warming. If you want to contribute to stop global warming, the reduction of your personal carbon footprint is essential. Fist, you can reduce your carbon footprint by driving less. When possible, walk or ride a bike to avoid carbon emissions completely or use public transport in order to decrease CO emissions. Second, support using clean energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal energy and biogas. Finally, reusing or recycling items you no longer use is also a good way to reduce your carbon footprint.
1. What is a carbon footprint?
A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the air by your own energy needs.
2. How is CO2 produced?
CO2 is produced by the burning of fossil fuels which is used to provide energy for your homes, by the cars you travel in and by the manufacture and transport of goods you buy.
3. What can carbon footprint cause?
It can cause global warming.
4. What should you do to stop global warming?
Driving less, supporting using clean energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal energy and biogas.
