have there been any stories about bad weather or natural disasters in the news recently? If so, where? What happened? |
| 2 |
have you ever experienced very bad weather? if so, tell the group what happened. |
| 3 |
do you think the weather where you live has changed since you were a child? if so, how? |
| 4 |
can people predict where and when earthquakes will happen? |
| 5 |
what can we do to help prevent droughts? |
| 6 |
what causes a tsunami? |
| 7 |
is the Earth really getting warmer? |
| 8 |
what will happen if the North and South Poles melt? |
| 9 |
tsunamis are caused by earthquakes under the ocean, or they can also be caused by a landslide or a volcano erupting. |
| 10 |
a large quantity of water is pushed to the surface of the ocean, creating waves. |
| 11 |
in the deep ocean these waves are small, but they get bigger and more dangerous as they get closer to the coast because the ocean is less deep there. |
| 12 |
the tsunami in South Asia in 2004 destroyed a large number of coastal towns and villages and about a quarter of a million people were killed. |
| 13 |
a drought is caused by not enough rainfall, and of course we can't control the weather - not yet, anywat. |
| 14 |
droughts often happen because all the trees have been cut down in a particular area. |
| 15 |
this means a rain water evaporates because it isn't held in the ground by the trees. |
| 16 |
so part of the solution is to plant more trees. |
| 17 |
in north Africa, tens of millions of trees are going to be planted in the next decade, which may help to reduce the number of droughts in the region. |
| 18 |
if this happens, the sea level will rise around the world and a lot of towns and cities on the coast will be flooded. |
| 19 |
this is a frightening thought because over half the world's population live near the coast and many of these places will be destroyed. |
| 20 |
it's still not possible to make an accurate prediction of the place, time and strength of an earthquake. |
| 21 |
however, it is possible to predict which places are going to be hit by an earthquake sometime in the future. |
| 22 |
a recent report identified the five most likely places for future earthquakes as the Caribbean, Chile, Indonesia, Japan and North America. |
| 23 |
yes, it is. the world's temperature has been measured accurately for about 150 years. |
| 24 |
and it shows that on average it has increased by about 1.5 C. |
| 25 |
also, eight of the ten hottest years have been recorded in the last two decades, which is very good evidence that this increase in temperature is being caused by man-made climate change. |
| 26 |
why do tsunamis get stronger near the coast? |
| 27 |
why does cutting down trees cause droughts? |
| 28 |
what percentage of the world's population live on or near the coast? |
| 29 |
which parts of the world are more likely to be hit by earthquakes? |
| 30 |
what evidence is there for global warming? |
| 31 |
the Earth is hit by lightning 8.6 million times a day. |
| 32 |
scientists say there's a 1 in 3 million chance you'll be hit by lightning. |
| 33 |
but that depends on how much time you spend outdoors. |
| 34 |
Roy Sulivan, a park ranger from Virginia, USA, was hit by lightning seven times in his lifetime. |
| 35 |
on different occasions he lost his toenail, hair and eyebrows. |
| 36 |
the final lightning strike happened while he was fishing and he was taken to hospital with chest and stomach burns. |
| 37 |
these days parts of Venice are flooded one day in three. |
| 38 |
people believe the water will rise another 20 cm in the next 50 years. |
| 39 |
this means that Venice will be flooded / is going to be flooded much more often. |
| 40 |
a lot of money has already been collected for the Save Venice Fund and now many old buildings are being repaired / have been repaired. |
| 41 |
however, more money must be found quickly and some people don't think the city can be saved. |
| 42 |
most experts agree that if important work isn't done soon, some of the world's most beautiful buildings will be lost / are going to be lost forever. |
| 43 |
in which year was New Orleans destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. |
| 44 |

| 45 |
which of these countries has had the most tornadoes in the last 20 years? |
| 46 |
which country was hit by the world's biggest earthquake in 1960? |
| 47 |
which country has got the largest number of active volcanoes in the world? |
| 48 |
what percentage of the Earth's surface is covered by / in water? |
| 49 |
in which year was Japan hit by a tsunami? |
| 50 |
what is the fastest wind that has ever been recorded inside a tornado? |
| 51 |
which of these natural disasters kills the most people every year? |
| 52 |
what percentage of the Earth's surface is covered by / in forest? |
| 53 |
what is the most snow that has ever fallen in a single storm? |
| 54 |
which of these countries won't be affected by a rise in sea levels in the future? |
| 55 |
earthquakes happen frequently in countries such as Greece, Italy and Turkey. |
| 56 |
a tornado the size of the Earth has been seen on the sun's surface. |
| 57 |
the cost of the hurricane won't be known until later this year. |
| 58 |
take a coat -- i heard the weather will change later. |
| 59 |
thousands of people are killed every year because of bad weather. |
| 60 |
climate change is affecting the weather all over the world. |
| 61 |
temperatures are going to reach over 30 C next week. |
| 62 |
earthquakes can be caused by human activity. |
| 63 |
deserts are getting larger. they can only be stopped by planting new trees. |
| 64 |
the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in 2011 was one of the most expensive disasters in the world. the disaster has been estimated to cost over $250 billion. |
| 65 |
one of the first tsunamis was recorded in AD 365. it destroyed the ancient city of Alexandria and killed thousands. |
| 66 |
around 240,000 people are struck by lightning every year. about 10% of these people are killed. |
| 67 |
what do you throw away, that could be recycled? |
| 68 |
hi, James. hello Val, hi Pete. |
| 69 |
come in. hi. are you ready to go? not quite. |
| 70 |
do you want a coffee? i've just put the kettle on. |
| 71 |
yes, sure. you get ready, we'll make it. |
| 72 |
there's a bit of pasta left if you're hungry. |
| 73 |
no, thanks. we've just eaten. |
| 74 |
well, i've found some coffee, but there's no sugar. |
| 75 |
there's some in that jar by the toaster. |
| 76 |
there's enough milk for two cups, but not enough for 3, i don't think. |
| 77 |
it's ok. i'll have it black. |
| 78 |
can someone feed the cat? |
| 79 |
there are plenty of tins of cat food in the cupboard. |
| 80 |
he has one small tin. |
| 81 |
here you go kitty. |
| 82 |
James, where do you put your recycling? |
| 83 |
in the bin. what, the rubbish bin? |
| 84 |
yes, that green one over there. |
| 85 |
you should recycle things like tin cans. |
| 86 |
too much rubbish is just throwing away. |
| 87 |
when a lot of it could be made into sth useful. |
| 88 |
yeah, you're probably right. |
| 89 |
i never recycle anything, i'm sorry to say. |
| 90 |
well, you're not the only one. |
| 91 |
hardly any people in our building recycle stuff. |
| 92 |
did you know that Germany recycles over 70% of its rubbish, but in the UK it still only about 40%. |
| 93 |
that's not much, is it? no, it isn't. |
| 94 |
and there aren't enough places to recycle in this city. |
| 95 |
and did you know that on average every person in the UK throws away seven times their own body weight in rubbish every year? |
| 96 |
well, it's never too late to start. |
| 97 |
there's a lot of stuff in your bin that could be recycled. |
| 98 |
look. there's loads of paper and several plastic bottles. |
| 99 |
the bottles can be made into clothes and the paper is used to make toilet paper. |
| 100 |
and all these empty cat food tins can be recycled and the metal used for making fridge parts. |
| 101 |
you seem to know a lot about all this. |
| 102 |
well, there's plenty of information on the internet. |
| 103 |
but it takes time to change people's habits. |
| 104 |
people are naturally lazy, i think. |
| 105 |
too many people just don't make the effort, but the government should do more too. |
| 106 |
in Germany people have to recycle their rubbish. |
| 107 |
it's the law. they should that here too, i think. |
| 108 |
yes, i suppose you're right. i've got a few friends who recycle things like you do. |
| 109 |
but most people i know just throw everything away. |
| 110 |
but in future i'll recycle what i can. come on, we're late. |
| 111 |
let me get my coat. |
| 112 |
we made a little progress there, i think. |
| 113 |
but i think, you should recycle that coat. it looks like his cat sleeps on it. |
| 114 |
i think there's a bit of milk in the fridge. |
| 115 |
we haven't got enough bags of crisps. |
| 116 |
there's hardly any food in the cupboard. |
| 117 |
he's got a lot of tins of cat food. |
| 118 |
we need to get a few packets of biscuits. |
| 119 |
there's lots of coffee and plenty of cups. |
| 120 |
there are no recycling bins in my street. |
| 121 |
i probably drink too much coffee. |
| 122 |
i know a few words in other languages. |
| 123 |
i got hardly any sleep last night. |
| 124 |
i know several people from the UK. |
| 125 |
i always have plenty of time to do my homework. |
| 126 |
i haven't got enough money to go on holiday. |
| 127 |
i've been to some interesting places. |
| 128 |
i probably eat too many sweets. |
| 129 |
i usually have a little milk in my tea. |
| 130 |
there are hadly any place to park in the court where i live. |
| 131 |
there's too much noise at night next the nine-storyed house where i live. |
| 132 |
there are no cycle lanes in our city. |
| 133 |
there are lots of clothe shops in the city. |
| 134 |
there are enough cinemas in our city. |
| 135 |
there aren't enough public transport on the outskirt. |
| 136 |
i think there are loads of places to go at night. |
| 137 |
there's not much traffic in our city. |
| 138 |
there are enough parks in our city. |
| 139 |
hurricane Irene in 2011 caused almost $20 billion of damage and killed at least 56 people. |
| 140 |
when a storm reaches a speed of 119 kilometers per hour, it becomes a hurricane and it is given a name. |
| 141 |
since 1953, Atlantic hurricanes have been given names from lists written by the National Hurricane Center. |
| 142 |
only women's names were used at first, but in 1979, men's names were added. |
| 143 |
now the National Hurricane Center uses six alphabetical lists of names. |
| 144 |
one list is used every year. |
| 145 |
so the list for 2013 won't be used again until 2019. |
| 146 |
for example, the first hurricane of 2013 was Hurricane Andrea. |
| 147 |
and the first hurricane in 2019 will be called Hurrican Andrea, too. |
| 148 |
the names of serious hurricanes aren't repeated. |
| 149 |
for example, in 2005 and in 2011, Katrina and Irene were removed from the list. |
| 150 |
since 1954, over 75 names have been removed from the list. |
| 151 |
which container can we use for each group of things? |
| 152 |
a bottle of milk. a bottle of orange juice. a bottle of wine. |
| 153 |
a bag of sweets. a bag of chips (us). |
| 154 |
a tin of tuna. a tin of beans. a tin of cat food. |
| 155 |
a box of tissues. a box of chocolates. |
| 156 |

would you like a little more coffee? |
| 178 |
there are a few empty bottles for recycling. |
| 179 |
could you buy a few tins of cat food? |
| 180 |
i'll give you a little help if you wait a few minutes. |

| 190 |
there's hardly any rubbish in it. |
| 191 |
that's strange. Adam! Look in the other bin! lots of this stuff can be recycled. |
| 192 |
but there isn't any paper in there. i checked. |
| 193 |
what about glass? there are loads of bottles in here. |
| 194 |
sorry. you're right. actually, i can see a few tins too. |
| 195 |
and there's more than a little plastic. |
| 196 |
plastic? can much plastic be recycled? |
| 197 |
yes, of course. you know, a bit of care could save our planet. |
| 198 |
i know. sorry. look, there's hardly any room in the recycling bin now. |
| 199 |
stop making excuses! there's plenty of room. |
| 200 |
when did you last go to the beach? where was it? |
| 201 |
a british tourist has been attacked by a shark off the coast of texas, making it the eighth shark attack in America this year. |
| 202 |
we now go over live to Andrew Evans for a special report. |
| 203 |
Andre i understand that the man didn't do anything unusual to cause this attack. |
| 204 |
yes, that's right Beverly. Marks Skipper a 49-year old man from Oxford was just swimming on his own quite close to the beach when he was attacked. |
| 205 |
how badly was he hurt? |
| 206 |
well, we don't have much information yet, but we know that his leg was bitten quite badly. |
| 207 |
he was immediately taken to hospital, and we're waiting to hear how he's doing. |
| 208 |
so Andrew, why are the sharks coming in so close? |
| 209 |
well, Ryan Williamson, who works for the texas parks and wildlife department believes, that the increase in shark attacks is because of what they calle dead zones. |
| 210 |
these are areas in the ocean where there isn't enough oxygen, so all the fish die. |
| 211 |
so there aren't any fish for the sharks to eat. |
| 212 |
exactly, many of these dead zones are actually quite close to the coast, so the sharks come in closer and closer looking for food. |
| 213 |
so what turns an area of the ocean into a dead zone? |
| 214 |
i'm afraid, it's us, Beverly, people. |
| 215 |
there's too much pollution in the sea, and it's killing all the fish. |
| 216 |
and these dead zones cover fairly large areas. |
| 217 |
the one we're talking about here, for example, covers about 5800 square miles. |
| 218 |
and are these dead zones only around the US coast? |
| 219 |
no, they're not. according to the United Nations, there are over 400 dead zones aroun the world. |
| 220 |
that's nearly three times as many as there were five years ago. |
| 221 |
so is the wildlife department now saying people shouldn't go swimming? |
| 222 |
no, they aren't telling people to stay out of the water, but they've advised holidaymakers not to go swimming early in the morning or in the evening, because those are the times when sharks feed. |
| 223 |
saving Jesse's Arm. |
| 224 |
Lucy Atkins describes the battle to save the life of a young boy. |
| 225 |
at about 8 p.m. on july 6th, eight-year-old Jesse Arbogast was playing in the sea in a National Park near Pensacola, Florida. |
| 226 |
it was the end of a perfect day at the beach with his uncle and aunt. |
| 227 |
then disaster struck. Jesse was attacked by a two-metre-long male shark, which bit off his right arm from the shoulder and also took a bite out of his leg. |
| 228 |
by the time his uncle and aunt pulled Jesse out of the water, he was unconscious and had already lost a lot of blood. |
| 229 |
while Jesse's aunt was giving the boy the kiss of life, his uncle, Vance Flosenzier, ran into the sea and disappeared under the water. |
| 230 |
amazingly, he managed to catch the 90-kilo shark and pull it out of the water onto the beach. |
| 231 |
at that moment two park rangers arrived to help the family and one of them shot and killed the shark. |
| 232 |
then he held open the shark's mouth while a volunteer firefighter reached down its throat and pulled out Jesse's arm. |
| 233 |
a few minutes later, a helicopter took the boy and his arm to nearby Baptist Hospital, Pensacola, where Dr Ian Rogers and his medical team managed to reattach Jesse's arm in an eleven-hour operation. |
| 234 |
the doctors knew the operation had been a success when Jesse's fingers turned pink. |
| 235 |
of course, after such a terrible accident nobody want to be over-optimistic. |
| 236 |
but the medical team are hopeful Jesse will have full use of his arm in the future. |
| 237 |
although Jesse's story is terrifying, it would be incorrect to think that sharks are always so dangerous. |
| 238 |
apparently this type of attack was very unusual and sharks are usually harmless to humans. |
| 239 |
shark attacks are very uncommon, agrees JR Tomasovic, chief ranger at the Pensacola park. |
| 240 |
you could go ten years without seeing another. |
| 241 |
however, he says that people shouldn't be irresponsible and should only swim on beaches where there are lifeguards. |
| 242 |
if you think you have a slepless baby, consider this: baby killer whales don't sleep for the first month of their life. |
| 243 |
so their mothers have to stay awake too. |
| 244 |
in fact, the name 'killer whale' is a little inaccurate and also unfair. |
| 245 |
firstly, killer whales (or orcas) are not really whales. |
| 246 |
they're in fact the largest member of the dolphin family. |
| 247 |
secondly, they are usually harmless to humans. |
| 248 |
there are very few records of any orca attacs on humans in the wild. |
| 249 |
instead, these animals are highly sociable and even quite playful. |
| 250 |
they live in groups called 'pods', with between five and 30 orcas, for their whole lives. |
| 251 |
and it is very uncommon to see one swimming alone. |
| 252 |
the orcas' friendly and cooperative nature is very useful for finding food. |
| 253 |
orcas hunt in their pods and then work together to kill. |
| 254 |
a BBC TV programme filmed a pod hunting and killing a grey whale and its calf. |
| 255 |
the journalist described the event. |
| 256 |
the desperate calf was fighting for its life and i wanted the orcas to finish their job quickly. |
| 257 |
but the mother was tireless in her attempts to protect her calf. |
| 258 |
her job was an impossible one. |
| 259 |
the total worldwide population of orcas is unknown, but is thought to be around 50 000. |
| 260 |
it is likely that we have underestimated how many there are. |
| 261 |
because they live in all of the world's oceans. |
| 262 |
although they haven't been hunted since 1981, scientists believe their numbers are decreasing. |
| 263 |
overfishing and oil accidents are reducing their food supplies. |
| 264 |
there are about 40 orcas in aquariums all over the world, but many people disagree with keeping them in these conditions and believe it's irresponsible. |
| 265 |
the most famous orca, Keiko, who appeared in the film 'Free Willy', was in an aquarium until scientists attempted to reintroduce him into a pod in the wild. |
| 266 |
the $20 million attempt wasn't completely unsuccessful. |
| 267 |
Keiko became much healthier when he was moved from the aquarium to the sea. |
| 268 |
however, Keiko liked human contact more than he liked other orcas and spent the last few years of his life alone, near Norway. |
| 269 |
Daniel's asked me to go on a hiking holiday in the Lake District with him. |
| 270 |
anyway, he wanted me to look at his old tent to see if it's still ok. |
| 271 |
well, i wouldn't like to be on top of a mountain in that. |
| 272 |
if i were you, i'd buy a new tent. |
| 273 |
you and Charlie have been hiking a few times, haven't you? |
| 274 |
we used to go quite a lot before Harry was born. |
| 275 |
well, could you give me some advice? |
| 276 |
i've never been hiking before and i'm a bit nervous about it. |
| 277 |
make sure, you take plenty of warm clothes. |
| 278 |
it can get really cold at night in a tent. |
| 279 |
and it's a good idea to take some waterproof clothing in case it rains which it probably will. |
| 280 |
this is England, after all. |
| 281 |
yes, Daneil's going to lend me his waterproof jacket. |
| 282 |
and i've already got a rucksack, a camping stove, and a warm sleeping bag. |
| 283 |
and make sure, you wear comfortable walking boots. |
| 284 |
don't wear new boots or else you'll get blisters on your feet. |
| 285 |
yes, i've got some old boots that are very comfortable. |
| 286 |
and what about food? what should we take? |
| 287 |
well, dried food and pasta is good, because it isn't very heavy to carry. |
| 288 |
you can camp by a river and use the water to cook with. |
| 289 |
ok, that's really useful, thanks. |
| 290 |
what else do you think we should take with us? |
| 291 |
well, you'd better take a torch in case you have to walk in the dark. |
| 292 |
and you'll need it when you're camping too, of course. |
| 293 |
and take some spare batteries for your torch and your camera. |
| 294 |
that's a good idea i hadn't thought of that. |
| 295 |
and don't forget to take a map. |
| 296 |
it's easy to get lost in the mountains, particularly in bad weather. |
| 297 |
and what should we do if we get lost? |
| 298 |
well, you can try to use the GPS on your phone, but you can't always get reception. |
| 299 |
so, it's worth taking a compass just in case. |
| 300 |
and whatever you do, don't lose sight of each other. |
| 301 |
if the weather is bad, you and Daniel must stay together at all times. |
| 302 |
thanks. that's really helpful. |
| 303 |
be careful, when you're crossing rivers. |
| 304 |
they can be more dangerous than they look. |
| 305 |
do you think it's a good idea to tell someone where we're going. |
| 306 |
and when you expect to get back. |
| 307 |
then, if you're not back on time someone can come and look for you. |
| 308 |
right, that sounds like good advice. |
| 309 |
one more thing. what's that? |
| 310 |
there are quite a few in the Lake District, and you don't want one of those coming into your tent at night. |
| 311 |
the most dangerous thing in the mountains is always the weather. |
| 312 |
and Daniel's cooking, probably. |
| 313 |
i'd better go to pick up Harry from his grandparents. |
| 314 |
i'm going sailing with some friends next week. could you give me some advice? |
