Today’s activity
Today, in
Paris, Cathy is enjoying herself.
This
morning, she took a walk through the street of
Paris.
After her walk at around 9 o’clock, she
enjoyed a delicious cup of coffee in a small café.
At 10:00, she went to the Notre Dame
cathedral, where she listened to some beautiful
organ music.
Now, she is at the Louvre,
the famous art museum, it is 1:30.
She has
been there for 2 hours since 11:30.
She is
looking at the Monolisa, one of the world most
famous paintings.
In another hour, she is
going to leave the museum and do some shopping.
She wants to buy a nice dress for herself and
some perfume for her mother.
This evening, she
has a date to meet someone for dinner.
She is
going to have dinner with Pierre, a famous
photographer.
She interviewed him 2 years ago,
since then, they kept in touch, they have returned
to
each other several times.
Cathy is
interested in doing a project with him, she would
do writing and he would take
the pictures.
She is looking forward to talking to him the
project.
She doesn’t know it, but Pierre has
Romantic intentions, he thinks she is very
attractive.
Questions:
1. Can you
guess who he is?
2. How have they kept in
touch?

Florence
and Beyond
Tomorrow, Cathy is going to leave
Paris and fly to Florence, Italy.
She is
planning to stay in Florence for one day until
Wednesday evening.
Pierre would like to
Florence with her.
If they go together, it
would be the beginning of something beautiful.
On the other hand, Cathy may not want that
kind of relationship with Pierre.
In any case,
Cathy is planning to enjoy Florence.
This
would be her first visit there, the last time she
was in Italy, she visited Rome, but she
didn’t
have time to go to Florence.
She is looking
forward to seeing some of the old buildings and
great works of art.
From Florence, she is
going to take a train to Salzburg where she will
join her friends.
They are going to meet her
at the station.
She has never been to
Salzburg; it would be her first time.
Like so
many cities in Europe, Salzburg has interesting
history.
She wants to visit the place where
Mozart was born.
He was born there more than
200 years ago.
Cathy only has time to stay in
Salzburg for a couple of days.
On Friday, she
and her friends are going to attend a concert.
She has to leave Saturday evening.
She
will fly to Paris where she will catch her flight
to the states.
The week isn’t very long.
Cathy’s memories of this trip will last life
time.
She is glad she came.
Questions:
How is Cathy going to get to
Salzburg?
What are they going to do on Friday?

Energy sources
Our energy needs.
For people live on our
planet, we need energy.
We need energy for
heat, for light and for transportation.
When
it’s cold, we need energy for heat; when it’s
dark, we need energy for light.
When we want
to travel, we need energy for transportation.
For example, to run our cars, we burn
gasoline, which comes from oil.
We also need
energy to run our factories.
Here are some of
the ways we get energy.
Fossil fuels include
coal, oil, and natural gases.
Fossil fuels
are important sources of energy.
We burn
fossil fuels to generate electricity.
Another
source of energy is hydroelectricity power.
Hydroelectric power comes from the energy of
falling water.
The energy of falling water is
converted into electricity
Nuclear power is
another way to get energy.
Heat from nuclear
reaction is converted into electricity.
There are also other ways to get energy.
Solar cells can converted into sunlight
directly into electricity
Many people that the
use of solar energy will increase, because they
are safe for the
environment, however, solar
energy is still expensive and underdeveloped.
Wind power is also a safe source of energy;
however, it is only useful in the area where
there is a lot of wind.
Like solar energy,
the use of wind power is still quite limited.
Questions:
When it’s cold, what do we
need energy for?
Are coal and oil both fossil
fuels?
In your country, do many homes use
solar energy?
What’s a good way to get energy
in a area where there is a lots of sunlight?
Converting
sunlight into heat and electricity
requires sunlight.

What
about the future?
One of the main problems we
now face is how to reduce the use of fossil fuels.
There are several reasons why this is
important.
One reason is that the supply of
fossil fuels is running out.
Fossil fuels are
not renewable.
As the supply decreases, the
price will increase, there may even be war.
There is also the problem of transport.
Large oil tanks transport oil across the
oceans.
Sometimes there are accidents and
large amounts of oil spilling into the oceans.
In the past few years, there have been several
accidents.
These accidents have caused the
death of many fish, birds and other wildlife.
Another problem is air pollution.
When we
burn fossil fuels, waste gases such as carbon
dioxide are produced.
The waste gases enter
our atmosphere and cause pollution, which damages
our
environment.
For example, air
pollution causes acid rain and acid rain is
killing many of our forests.
There is also the
problem of global warming.
When a large amount
of carbon gases are in the atmosphere, our world
begins to heat up.
If the temperature rises,
the polar ice cap will begin to melt and oceans
will rise.
Plants and trees help reduce global
warming, because they convert carbon dioxide into
oxygen.
If there are more plants, then the
rate of global warming is reduced.
However,
many of our great forests are being cut down or
burned.
Our forests are also being killed by
acid rain.
So, as you can see, it is important
for us to move away from fossil fuels as soon as
possible.
Nuclear energy also has problems.
One problem is safety, nuclear reactors are
not completely safe.
There is always some risk
of accident.
In some cases, radiation has
escaped into atmosphere and into water supplies.
Another serious problem is the problem of
nuclear waste.
The radiation from nuclear
waste products is very dangerous.
If it gets
into the environment, it can cause serious health
problems and even death.
How about hydro-
electro power, Can it help us move away from
fossil fuels?
Hydro-electro power is a clean
source of energy.
In addition, dams help us
manage our water supplies.
We use dams to
store water and also to prevent flooding.
However, building dams does change the
environment.
Dams can cause problems for
wildlife such as fish.
Therefore, the number
of dams must be limited.
All of us want
progress and comfortable life.
However, we
must also look ahead to the future and take care
of our beautiful world.
