Welcome back to That's English. 00:00:01
Hello again. Today we're going to talk about environmental issues. 00:00:33
We're collecting plastic bottle tops for a charity which sells them for recycling. 00:00:38
Plastic bottle tops are made of a different type of plastic from the plastic bottles. 00:00:44
Local councils don't recycle the bottle tops and a lot of plastic goes into our oceans and is really dangerous for the wildlife. 00:00:50
If plastic is recycled, there will be less pollution in our oceans. 00:00:58
Now, in today's episode, we're going to meet Jake, who is very worried about the environment. 00:01:03
Jake lives with his mum, Pippa, and they often have arguments. 00:01:08
Yes, and that's because Jake thinks his mum doesn't care about the environment. 00:01:12
Here's our question. Why does Pippa want to go to Greece? 00:01:17
I'm sorry, Pippa, I was just organising the recycling. Coffee? 00:01:22
Oh, yes, please. 00:01:33
How are you? You look a bit stressed. 00:01:34
Well, it's difficult sometimes living with my son, Jake. 00:01:37
We keep arguing. 00:01:40
Oh, Jake's a lovely boy. 00:01:42
Yes, I know, but he's obsessed with environmental issues. 00:01:43
He thinks he can save the planet. 00:01:48
Well, the environment is important. 00:01:50
Of course it is, but he thinks I don't care about it. 00:01:52
He started complaining before breakfast this morning. 00:01:56
Morning, Jake. 00:02:01
Mum, did you have a bath this morning? 00:02:03
I might have done. Why? 00:02:06
It's such a waste of water. 00:02:07
Why didn't you have a shower? It's much more eco-friendly. 00:02:09
I know, Jake. I could have had a shower. 00:02:12
But a bath is so relaxing. 00:02:14
You should have thought about the environment. 00:02:16
You just don't care about it, do you? 00:02:19
I do care, but at the moment I have more important things to think about. 00:02:21
I hope you find a job soon, Jake. 00:02:26
Well, I've applied to a couple of environmental agencies, 00:02:29
but haven't had a reply yet. 00:02:32
Why don't you check your email? They might have written this morning. 00:02:33
And what about a job at the council? 00:02:37
I could never work for the council. 00:02:39
Why not? 00:02:41
I don't agree with their environmental policy. 00:02:42
They're going to cut down the trees on North Road. 00:02:45
I should have organised a protest. 00:02:48
Trees are important for the environment. 00:02:51
Yes, but they may have had a good reason for that. 00:02:53
Perhaps the trees have a disease. 00:02:56
Jake you'll get paint on the carpet sorry I should have painted it outside I am being careful though 00:02:59
what have you bought oh just a few things for my holiday mum do you have to go to Greece for 00:03:20
your holiday no I don't have to go to Greece I could have gone to Spain or to Italy but I've 00:03:26
never been to Greece you know what I mean mum carbon dioxide emissions from aeroplanes have 00:03:32
almost doubled in the last 20 years. Well, it won't make any difference if I fly to Greece. 00:03:37
And you could have booked a holiday in England. And you could have washed your dirty dishes 00:03:41
last night. Are you saving water? I'm sorry. I shouldn't have shouted. I'm pleased that 00:03:46
you care about the environment. You're right. It is important. And you're right. I shouldn't 00:03:55
have left the dishes I should have done the washing up Jake really wants to save 00:04:03
the planet doesn't he yes and he wants his mum to be more eco-friendly too did 00:04:13
you find the answer to the question why does Pippa wants to go to Greece no I 00:04:19
don't have to go to Greece I could have gone to Spain or to Italy but I've never 00:04:26
been to Greece? The answer is because she's never been to Greece. Yes, Pippa wants to go somewhere 00:04:31
she's never been before. In the video, we saw people expressing possibility in the past. Watch. 00:04:38
Yes, but they may have had a good reason for that. Perhaps the trees have a disease. Why don't you 00:04:46
check your email? They might have written this morning. I know, Jake, I could have had a shower, 00:04:52
but a bath is so relaxing we use may have might have or could have with the 00:04:56
past participle to talk about possibility in the past I could have 00:05:05
come to work by train this morning it's more eco-friendly I can't find my 00:05:10
reading glasses I might have lost them or you may have left them at home you've 00:05:17
done that before in the video we also heard people expressing regret they're 00:05:23
going to cut down the trees on North Road I should have organized a protest 00:05:30
sorry I should have painted it outside I am being careful though and you're right 00:05:35
I shouldn't have left the dishes I should have done the washing up we can 00:05:41
use should have and the past participle to express regret. Excuse me, I'm very tired. 00:05:49
I should have gone to bed earlier last night. And I ate too much at lunchtime. I shouldn't 00:05:58
have had dessert. We also use should have and could have to express disapproval. Watch. 00:06:05
You should have thought about the environment. You just don't care about it, do you? And 00:06:13
And you could have booked a holiday in England. 00:06:18
And you could have washed your dirty dishes last night. 00:06:20
Are you saving water? 00:06:23
By the way, Ashley, I saw you throw some paper away this morning. 00:06:25
You shouldn't have thrown it away. You should have recycled it. 00:06:30
You're right. Sorry. 00:06:34
In fact, you could have reused it as scrap paper. 00:06:36
Yes. Don't forget the three R's. Reuse, reduce, recycle. 00:06:40
Anyway, let's find out how Jake's protest went. 00:06:49
And if he had any luck with finding a job. 00:06:53
While you watch, try to answer this question. 00:06:56
What are the consequences of pollution from cars, according to Pippa? 00:06:58
I'm worried about Jake's future. It's getting harder and harder to find a job. 00:07:04
How old is he now? 00:07:22
22. He should have gone to university. He's more intelligent than he thinks he is. 00:07:23
He could have done a degree in environmental studies. 00:07:30
Yes, I'm sure that's a very useful degree to get these days. 00:07:33
He's always protesting about environmental issues. 00:07:36
I'm very concerned that he might get into trouble with the police. 00:07:39
It's not illegal to protest, you know. 00:07:42
No, I know, but he's so obsessed with it. He gets angry if I have a bath or travel by plane. 00:07:45
Well, tell him you're selling the car and see how he likes that. 00:07:50
Hmm, not a bad idea. 00:07:56
Stop the council, save our trees. 00:08:00
Stop the council, save our trees. 00:08:06
Stop the council, save our trees. 00:08:09
Excuse me, will you sign our petition? 00:08:13
We want to save these trees. 00:08:19
No thanks, I'm not interested. 00:08:20
The council want to cut down the trees to make the road wider. 00:08:22
Aren't you worried about that? Not at all. The wider the better, that's what I say. 00:08:25
My biggest worry is the traffic. A wider road would mean fewer traffic jams. 00:08:30
Don't you care about these beautiful trees? I'm concerned about traffic conditions, not trees. 00:08:35
Aren't you afraid of global warming and what's happening to the ozone layer? 00:08:40
Global warming? They say temperatures are getting higher and higher. 00:08:44
I'm not worried about the heat. I like the heat. 00:08:49
Hi, how are you today? 00:08:52
Do you know that the council are going to cut down these trees to make the road wider? 00:09:00
Really? 00:09:03
Mum, I've got an interview for a really interesting job in conservation next week. 00:09:11
That's wonderful news. Where's the interview? 00:09:15
It's an organisation near Bristol. 00:09:18
Oh dear. If this had happened yesterday, I could have driven you there. 00:09:20
Unfortunately, I sold the car yesterday. 00:09:25
What? 00:09:27
I thought you'd be pleased. We'll use public transport instead. 00:09:28
But Mum, we need a car. 00:09:33
Petrol has been getting more and more expensive, 00:09:35
and pollution from cars causes the greenhouse effect and acid rain. Remember? 00:09:38
Yeah, but how will I get to the interview? 00:09:43
Mum, you haven't sold the car. You've still got the keys. 00:09:49
But you never know. I might do. 00:09:54
That was a good trick Jake's mum played, pretending she had sold the car. 00:09:57
Yes, Jake seemed quite worried, didn't he? 00:10:06
So, did you get the answer to our question? 00:10:09
What are the consequences of pollution from cars, according to Pippa? 00:10:12
Petrol has been getting more and more expensive, 00:10:17
and pollution from cars causes the greenhouse effect and acid rain, remember? 00:10:20
So, the answer is the greenhouse effect. 00:10:26
acid rain. I think Jake should have used public transport to go to the interview. 00:10:29
It's much more environmentally friendly. In the video, we heard Pippa talking 00:10:35
about the price of petrol, which keeps going up. Petrol has been getting more 00:10:40
and more expensive. La gasolina es cada vez más cara. But unfortunately, public 00:10:45
transport is getting more and more expensive too. Notice that we repeat 00:10:53
comparatives to express continuing change here are some more examples 00:10:58
global warming they say temperatures are getting higher and higher I'm worried 00:11:04
about Jake's future it's getting harder and harder to find a job we also heard 00:11:10
people expressing worry my biggest worry is the traffic I'm concerned about 00:11:16
traffic conditions not trees aren't you afraid of global warming and what's 00:11:21
happening to the ozone layer I'm not worried about the heat I like the heat 00:11:25
to express worry we can use my worry is I'm worried about I'm concerned about 00:11:29
and I'm afraid of are you concerned about the environment Annabel I am I'm 00:11:37
very worried about the pollution of our oceans my biggest worry is that a lot of 00:11:46
of people don't recycle where I live there aren't many recycling facilities 00:11:51
I'll have to start protesting like Jake now it's time to see what the people in 00:11:56
the streets think about their local environment we asked them this question 00:12:02
has your local environment improved in the last five years yes there's been a 00:12:06
lot of development in the residential areas not for the better I would say 00:12:14
there's not the money put into it I suppose so the good things about the environment have just 00:12:19
you know been neglected I think I think they've put money into parks for children children's parks 00:12:24
and more um like skateboard areas and things like that because I work with children so 00:12:31
it's been quite a bit with the lottery fund um no I don't think so I think where I live there 00:12:38
actually more cars on the streets there are fewer green places they're building 00:12:47
more houses and more shops so I think no I don't think it has I think there's a 00:12:51
big emphasis on recycling actually where I live at University in Nottingham it's 00:12:58
much better than where I live in London and we're in in London there's still no 00:13:06
recycling collection so you have to take it yourself and I think some people 00:13:12
can't be bothered to do that so it's a bit of a shame I think it depends very 00:13:16
much on where you live yes one person said there were more cars and fewer 00:13:20
green areas where he lived and somebody else thought that in London they could 00:13:27
still improve the recycling collection yes some local councils do more than 00:13:32
others to improve the environment well that's all for today see you in our next 00:13:37
program bye bye bye bye 00:13:42
