Conversation 1

W: Why is it important to recycle?

M : There are many reasons, recycling is one way to keep wastes out

of land fills. Land fills are places to dump waste, but they are

un-popular because they can pollute the soil used to cover them and

that

’

s

bad

for

people

who

may

build

new

homes

there.

Recycling

also

re-uses valuable raw materials such as aluminum and paper. Finally

recycling

can

leave

a

lower

garbage

bill.

Recycling

lowers

the

amount

of waste put into land fills. Therefore less money is spend for

garbage disposal

W:So,has recycling changed over the years?

M:

10/20

years

ago

，

you

could

buy

milk

in

returnable

refill

able

gas

bottles and many people recycled voluntarily, now you buy milk and

other products in plastic bottles or paper containers. Because of

the high cost of disposing of these things in land fills

，

many city

governments now have recycling programs.

W:How does recycling help the environment?

M: Recycling helps the environment mainly by saving energy? For

example it takes 95% less energy to produce recycled aluminum than

to produce new aluminum.

W:Can one person really make a difference, if only a few people

recycle then what

’

s the point?

M: If not you then who? If we combine our efforts we can make a

difference.

Each

of

us

contributes

to

the

waste

problem.

Over

millions of tons of waste that go into the land fills started as an

old pair of slippers, a broken tv set or a used magazine that came

from somebody

’

s house

，

maybe yours.

Conversation 2

M:

Let’

s

see,

I

won

’

t

advice

you

to

pay

the

normal

one

way

economy

transfer of 555 dollars, if you can fly on a Tuesday or Wednesday

and buy your tickets at least 21 days in advance I suggest you book

a round trip extension flight.

W: But we may not need the return tickets

M: That’s alright! Even if you don’t use them，

you should be able

to save 89 dollars over the one way

fare, of course I’

d recommend

only

booking,

you

ought

to

try

to

reserve

the

super

saver

seats,

there

are only a few of them and they are 15% cheaper than the others.

W: That sounds like a good idea

M: Wait, to save another 100 dollars or so, why do

n’

t you book a

flight to Vancouver Canada?

W: Well that

’

s better than me want to go

M: I know, but you can take a bus from Vancouver back to Birmingham

and

still

save

money

and

if

you

are

travelling

with

children

you

might

be

able

to

get

a

discount

and

if

you

fly

economy

class.

If

they

don

’

t

get

any

discount?

But

to

take

advant

age

of

the

airline’s

guaranteed

fare policy you’d have to make reservations and pay your tickets

at least 6 weeks in advance. Should I begin to search for available

seats?
