1. Read the dialogues and reproduce them:

1)

Interviewer: We have all seen posters by the Government urging us to plant trees. Aren’t there enough of them? How many trees do we need and does it matter which kinds we plant? There are some of the questions I am going to ask Mr Harold Godfrey who is an adviser on trees to the Greater London Council.

Godfrey: If only I could answer your first question. First, the Government’s plans are not concerned with planting trees to provide wood for industry. The trees we’re talking about are the trees for towns with no industrial purpose.

Interviewer: All of us agree, I’m sure, that trees are beautiful and make our towns more attractive. Do they help in any other ways?

Godfrey: Of course they do. One tree provides enough oxygen for one person. They reduce pollution and they even make towns less noisy.

to urge – примушувати

the Greater London Council – Лондонський муніципалітет

to concern with – займатися чимось

2)

Interviewer: What do you think are the worst kinds of pollution?

Steve: The noise and the exhaust of cars. It should be compulsory to have filters on exhausts.

Julie: I think the noise of airports is much worse. I live on Battersea Bridge Road which is one of the noisiest roads and it doesn’t bother me. I don’t really notice it.

Interviewer: What do you think of clearing city centres of traffic and cleaning the air of big cities? How could that be accomplished?

Steve: City centres should be left only for pedestrians and all traffic should be banned. As to the enterprises which pour smoke out of their chimneys they should be moved out. They endanger the health of people.

...it doesn’t bother me – це мене не хвилює

How could that be accomplished? – Як цього можна досягти?

to ban – забороняти

chimney – димохід
