[08:10.66]2 Listen to Ben and Shen Zhan talking bout the problems shown in the pictures
[08:23.04]Write Shen Zhan's answers in the boxes.
[08:27.48]Shen Zhan:Hi,Ben.What are you reading?
[08:31.92]Ben:A report about rubbish and other problems.
[08:36.57]This newspaper wants to know how young people feel about these things.
[08:42.81]Let's see what you think.OK?
[08:47.26]Shen Zhan:OK.
[08:49.89]Ben:I'll tell you a problem
[08:53.26]and you tell meif it makes you feel hardly worried at all,
[08:59.43]a little worried,rather worried or very worried.
[09:06.87]Here's the first problem:
[09:11.94]'People who drop rubbish in parks,streets and other places'.
[09:18.39]Shen Zhan:This is bad.
[09:23.15]People who do this don't care about the land or about other people.
[09:29.63]They are thoughtless.Write down'rather worried'.
[09:36.78]Ben:I agree.
[09:39.53]Here's the next one:'People who play music loudly or make a lot of noise,
[09:48.77]for example,with cars and other machines'.
[09:54.42]Shen Zhan:I'm not very worried about this.
[10:00.37]Write down'a little worried'.
[10:04.73]I think these people ought to think more about other people
[10:10.30]but you can put something over your ears.
[10:14.56]Ben:That's true.Now,the third one is'Factories that smell bad'.
[10:23.10]Shen Zhan:Oh,I'm hardly worried at all about smelly factories.
[10:30.86]Of course,no one wants to live next to one,but I don't,so I don't care.
[10:38.80]Ben:Is that so?I'm very surprised.You shouldn't just think about yourself!
[10:46.87]Now,how do you feel about this one:'The food that we eat'?
[10:54.32]Shen Zhan:I'm quite worried about this.
[10:57.97]We buy more and more food from stores instead of growing it ourselves.
[11:04.63]We need to know if any of this food is bad for us.
[11:09.49]Ben:Here's the next one:'The air'.
[11:14.46]Shen Zhan:I'm very worried about the air.
[11:18.22]Cars,factories and so on are putting too much dirt into our air.
[11:24.70]It's very unhealthy.Something must be done about it!
[11:30.34]Ben:OK.That was the last question.Let's send your answers to the newspaper.
[11:37.99]lesson 16
[11:41.23]exercise 4.Read about an unusual house and answer the questions.
[11:49.30]In 1918,Edward Leedskaln in was going to marry a girl named Agnes
[11:57.35]but the night before the wedding,Agnes changed her mind.
[12:02.63]Edward was so sad that he left his country and moved to the USA.
[12:09.16]In his new country,Edward started building a 'dream home'for Agnes.
[12:16.00]He didn't have much money,
[12:19.34]so he build it out of things that other people didn't want rocks.
[12:26.11]Some of the rocks that he used weighed over 25,000 kilos.
[12:32.35]To move and cut them,
[12:35.59]he used only things that people had thrown away such as old car parts.
[12:42.57]It took him 20 years to build the house,
[12:47.01]which he called Rock Gatebut he built it very,very well.
[12:53.56]Inside,there is a table that looks like a heart.
[12:58.92]It weighs more than 2,000 kilos.
[13:03.28]Outside,there is a gate that you can open with one finger,
