Speaker 1

Before I set off, I heard the forecast, so I knew there was a possibility of gale-force winds, but I chose to risk it. I thought the climb would only take a couple of hours at most. Anyway, it was so calm that morning. I thought they must have got it wrong. What a mistake! I was half way up the mountain when I had to turn back. There was nowhere to find shelter and it was a frightening experience.

Speaker 2

I must have been about 10 at the time. My brother, sister and I were visiting our grandparents. They live not far from St Andrews, where there’s a fantastic beach. Well, we went in the morning and the weather was unusually good, so we spent most of the day picnicking and building sandcastles. Everything was perfect until we got back to the house. We were all as red as tomatoes! It was my first lesson in avoiding sunburn. Now, of course, I’m more careful.

Speaker 3

I wasn’t sure I’d be able to make it to Jenny’s birthday party, but I decided to try as she’s a really good friend of mine. The problem is I had a long drive after work to get there. First, I got stuck in a traffic jam. Then, heavy snow started to fall and in no time at all, driving was becoming dangerous. I had to go very slowly and carefully. When I finally got to Jenny’s house, most people were saying their goodbyes.

Speaker 4

We’d been warned about the heavy rain so we piled sandbags all around the house. When we went to bed, we just hoped for the best. The children and even our dog Jasper were scared because of the howling wind. Finally, we slept. But when we woke up the next morning, we got a nasty surprise. The water had broken through the sandbags and flooded the house. Everything was soaking wet - the carpets, the furniture, even the curtains. Of course, they were all ruined.

Speaker 5

I was driving my mother’s car when suddenly it just stalled. It was absolutely freezing outside, but I decided to take a quick look under the bonnet to see if I could spot the problem. Unfortunately, I couldn’t tell what was wrong. Luckily, I had my mobile phone with me. It took my dad nearly an hour to reach me because of the fog and ice on the roads. When he arrived, he gave me some hot tea from a flask and he managed to get the car going, too.

Speaker 6

It was our last day on holiday and we decided to take the kids on a boat trip to hopefully see dolphins. When we set off, early in the morning, it looked like it was going to be a lovely day. Unfortunately, about an hour into the trip, the sky clouded over, the wind picked up and the sea became very choppy. The captain decided it would be best to turn back but that didn’t stop us all from getting seasick. It was awful.

Текст аудирования:

Ian: Hi, Amy! Fancy meeting you here! It’s a great holiday resort, isn’t it? Are you doing some souvenir shopping too?

Amy: Oh hello, Ian. Yes, I’m looking for a present to take back home to my mum. These earrings are beautiful, aren’t they? And they’re not too expensive, either.

Ian: But hang on a second. Just what are they made of? Let’s have a look at the card - yes, they’re one hundred percent hand carved ivory.

Amy: I really like them. They’re nicer than the pair I saw in the other gift shop down the road. I think I’ll get them. They’d really suit mum.

Ian: You’re not serious, are you? You’ve got to be joking, right?

Amy: Why? What do you mean? Why would I be joking?

Ian: Amy, do you know where ivory comes from?

Amy: Um, it’s a kind of stone, I think. Isn’t it?

Ian: No, ivory comes from the tusks of elephants. It’s illegal. People kill the elephants, cut off their tusks, and then sell them on the black market. Haven’t you heard about this? I mean, it’s been all over the news lately.

Amy: Well, yes, I’ve heard about the poachers who are killing elephants illegally and selling their tusks ... but I didn’t know ivory comes from elephant tusks. How awful! Selling something illegal right here in the hotel gift shop! Goodness knows how many people have already bought them!

Ian: Yeah, it’s pretty unbelievable. They’re breaking the law, in fact, and trying to take in innocent shoppers like you. Some people would do anything for money.

Amy: You know what? Why don’t we go and talk to the manager in his office? We could ask him why he’s selling these things, and see what he has to say for himself.

Ian: Yes, I think that’s a good idea. I’ll come with you. We can’t just ignore the situation. After all, if nobody ever asks questions or makes a complaint, these illegal activities will never stop.

Текст аудирования:

Int: I’d like to welcome the environmentalist, Paula Hutton, to talk us today about the marine environment

around Britain’s shores. First of all Paula, why do you think that British people should be concerned about it?

PH: Britain is surrounded by water and has 3,200 km of coastline. We need to be aware of the state of the marine environment because it has a direct effect on all of us. British people have always depended on the sea for many things; for food and other natural resources, for jobs, and as a natural defence barrier.

Int: So, is it all bad news?

PH: As you know, many scientists have expressed concern over the decline of the marine environment for quite a while. The chief worry, of course, is the problem of pollution. Thankfully, the health of the marine environment is a priority for the European Union and strategies are being developed to protect it. People have now come to realise that treating the sea like a huge dustbin not only harms wildlife but also puts human life at risk. The seas around Britain are home to over 8,000 different species of plant and animal life and we must ensure that their habitat is preserved.

Int: What kind of pollution threatens this balance?

PH: In the past, the dumping of chemicals and heavy metals into the sea was a serious problem. Now various regulations have reduced this practice. But problems still continue as a result of what was dumped in previous years. Even now, you can still find high concentrations of things like industrial chemicals and agricultural pesticides. It will take many more years before they drop to safe levels.

Int: What other things pollute our waters?

PH: Oils spills are a problem, too. They can happen because of careless transport or as a result of a devastating storm. Oil slicks cause pollution that takes a very long time to clean up. Now that there are a greater number of oil platforms in the North Sea, the danger of accidental spills has increased. Unfortunately, we will probably never manage to reduce the risks to zero.

Int: What can we hope to achieve?

PH: We can work together to reduce the harmful products in our marine environment. I don’t just mean industrial pollution but also plastic and aluminium packaging. The effects of these kinds of waste can also be devastating. Sea birds swallow pieces of plastic which make them feel full and then they starve to death. Turtles and other sea animals eat plastic bags because they mistake them for food and then choke to death. We should all reduce our use of plastic packaging and participate in local recycling programmes.

Int: Is there anything else we can do?

PH: How about joining a beach clean-up campaign? There are many initiatives, such as the ‘Adopt-a-Beach’ programme. Thousands of volunteers work every year picking up and recording the amount and type of litter found on our beaches. In the last ten years, the amount of coastline litter has doubled, so we should take action now, before it becomes too great to reverse.

Int: Presumably, it’s in everyone’s interest to deal with this problem.

PH: Yes, of course. Beach litter isn’t just an eyesore, it’s dangerous, too. But there is some good news. More and more UK beaches are being recommended for their clean seas. So, it may no longer be a health hazard to go swimming at your local beach. Before you go, check which beaches are safe at the online site the ‘Good Beach Guide’.
