Talk about air pollution
1 Before you listen, look at the pictures below and discuss the questions in groups.
1 What information can you get from these pictures?
2 How do these situations influence your life?
I can get information about where the pictures were taken, for example, the bridge is in
London, and the chimneys are in a power station. Both places look very polluted. I can see
that the car is powered by electricity as it is plugged in. I can see some coal being burned.
These pictures tell me that the interview is probably about energy and pollution.
These situations influence my life not only by providing electricity
for me, and transporting me, but also by polluting the air I breathe.
