I. Read this essay written by a Geography student and do the following exercises.
A. Match meanings a-h with underlined expressions 1-8.
The whole world feels the effects of (1) climate change, so we all need to do what we can to prevent things getting worse. The rise in temperatures is partly caused by the use of coal and (2) petrol, so (3) energy conservation is important. We can do this, for instance, by using (4) public transport instead of the car, keeping the heating turned down, and making sure the lights are switched off when we go out. (5) Recycling, too, is essential, so glass containers should be taken to the (6) bottle bank, old newspapers and magazines collected, and different kinds of (7) rubbish placed in separate bags. We can also help by using less water around the house, and particularly in sunny countries- using (8) solar energy to heat our water. Most of these are quite small things, but if everyone does them, they might make a difference.
a. fuel that is used in cars
b. vehicles used by everyone
c. things that are thrown away
d. using less electricity, gas, etc.
