ACTIVITY A 1. Listen to the first part of the article and complete the paragraph. (10 x 5 = 50 points) The world has seen Greta Thunberg’s solo school strikes morph into a 1____________________ movement of more than six million demonstrators; Extinction Rebellion 2____________________ have seized bridges and blocked roads in capital cities; the world has heard ever more 3____________________ warnings from UN scientists; dozens of national parliaments and city councils have declared 4____________________ emergencies. The climate has become much more hostile – with increasingly ferocious 5____________________ (for the first time on record, there have been category 5 6____________________), intensifying 7____________________ fires (consider the devastating blazes in Siberia and the Amazon this year, or California and Lapland in 2018), massive bleaching of coral reefs (which is happening with growing frequency across most of the world), terrible 8____________________ in Bangladesh, desperate 9____________________ in southern Africa, 10____________________ shortages in the Sahel and the opening up of the northwest passage due to shrinking sea ice. 2. Now, listen to the second part of the article attentively. Find 5 mistakes in this paragraph, underline them and replace them with the right words. (5 x 10 = 50 points) Climate change is very precise today, which is good news in terms of anticipating the risks, but deeply alarming when we consider just how nasty scientists expect the climate to become in our lifetime. Unless editions are slashed over the next decade, a swarm of wicked problems are heading our way. How wicked? Well, let us consider what the world will look like in 2050 if humanity continues to burn oil, gas, coal and forests at the current rate. The world in 2050 is more hostile and less fertile, more troubled and less diverse. Across the world, droughts intensify, and extreme heat becomes a fact of life for 1.6bn city dwellers, eight times more than in 2019. More heat means more forest fires, which dries out more trees, which burn more easily, which releases more carbon, which pushes global temperatures higher, which melts more ice, which exposes more of the Earth to sunlight, which warms the soils, which lowers the temperature gradient with the equator, which slows ocean currents and water systems, which results in more extreme storms and longer droughts. 1_________________________ 2_________________________ 3_________________________ 4_________________________ 5_________________________ iTeen11 3 Exercises 3 and 4 You will hear the last part of the article on the effects of climate change.

But vegetarianism is by no means a new phenomenon. In fact, long before we could post our latest Buddha bowls on Instagram, some famous faces in history went veggie. Ancient Greek philosophers, Romantic poets and civil rights activists all feature in the vegetarian influencers’ hall of fame. Here are two famous veggies that may (or may not) surprise you. Pythagoras is a name that haunts teenagers across the UK preparing for their exams this summer. Although most famously known for his mathematical theorem, the philosopher and his followers influenced more than just geometry. A meat-free diet was once referred to as a Pythagorean diet. There are a few reasons why Pythagoras is believed to have practised vegetarianism. The most prominent being his teachings that all living beings had souls, including animals, and should be treated as kindred. Unlike most modern vegetarians, he also banished beans from his bowl. One theory is he thought beans and humans were created in the same material, another says they considered fava beans to be connected to Hades, the Greek God of the Dead. There is also an interpretation that when he said “Abstain from beans”, he wasn’t speaking of diet at all, but politics. In ancient Greece beans were used as a ballot system, white beans for a yes vote, and black for no. But Pythagoras was not the first to go veggie. Vegetarianism dates back a long time, especially in India. Ahimsa is the doctrine of refraining from harming any living being. It is an important idea in many religions originating in India, including Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. Ahimsa gained attention in the English-speaking world in the 20th century, when it featured in the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi’s mother introduced him to a strong Hindu ethic, with an emphasis on vegetarianism, religious tolerance, a simple lifestyle and non-violence from a young age. But even Gandhi went through his rebellious teenage years. Gandhi was a reckless teenager, he started drinking alcohol, eating meat and challenging his chastity. But when he was given the opportunity to study law in London, he found a home in the vegetarian movement and at the Theosophical Society, returning to the traditional Hindu practices of his childhood: no alcohol, sexual restraint, and vegetarianism. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zdbjgwx (abridged and adapted) 1.
