TAPE 1
Are you looking for a cheap, clean, effective source of power that does not cause
pollution or waste natural resources? Look no further than solar energy from our sun At
present, most of our electricity comes from the use of coal, gas, oil, or nuclear power
The sun could provide this power One percent of the solar energy that reaches the earth
is enough to provide power for the total population
Many countries are already using solar energy Solar panels are placed on the roof of
a house and the Sun’s energy can be stored for a number of days, so on cloudy days you
can use solar energy, too
Sweden has an advanced solar energy program There, all building will be heated by
solar energy and cars will use solar power instead of gas by the year 2016
Tape transcript 2:
“If you live in an earthquake zone, you should take sometime to look around your house
Place heavy books on the bottom shelf of your bookshelves Block the rollers on your
fridge and washing machine to prevent them from moving Put hanging potted plants in
plastic containers Check the mirrors in your bathroom and bedroom Make sure they
can’t move Don’t put your bed next to window Planning where you are going to be
Trang 22during an earthquake is very important The first thing to remember is to stay inside
Then you should sit under a strong table or doorway, or stand in the corner of a room.”
