                  1    Listen and complete the dialogue.

                       Amy     Jon, can I ask you something?
                       Jon       Sure.
                       Amy      Why do you always leave your computer switched on at night? Don’t you know it
                                     uses a lot of electricity, and it’s bad for the environment?
                       Jon       You’re right, I’ll stop. But I always try to do my best for the environment.
                       Amy      So do I. For example, I   ...................... new plastic bags every time I went to the
                                                   1
                                     supermarket. But now, I’ve stopped.
                       Jon       OK, well I don’t waste water.
                       Amy      Neither do I.
                       Jon        For example, I   ...................... two showers a day. But now I only have one – in the
                                            2
                                     morning.
                       Amy      Oh, Jon! But you must have a shower in the evening! Don’t be disgusting!
                       Jon       What? I’m only trying to save the environment. And I try to save electricity where I
                                    can.
                       Amy      So do I.
                                           3
                       Jon       For example, I   ...................... my socks every day. Now I only wash them once a
                                    week. This saves water and electricity.
                       Amy     Now you’re just being stupid.
                                    4
                       Jon       Also, I   ...................... the bus to school. Now, I walk, and I’m two hours
                                    late every day! Sorry teachers! I’m just trying to save the environment!
                       Amy     Be serious. There are lots of little things you can do if you want. Switch off your
                                    computer at night. And stop leaving the lights on all over the house!
                       Jon      Yes, OK. I will.

                  2    Circle T (true) or F (false).
