Now that we know what 1 _______________ change is and how humans cause it, I’ll talk about
how serious the effects are and what we can do as a 2 _________________, a nation, and ordinary
citizen, to make a difference.

Greenhouse 3. _________ make everything too hot. This causes extremely destructive changes to
the Earth’s climate and weather conditions. For example, when it gets too hot, droughts, 4
________________, and massive tropical storms happen. These tropical storms, known as
cyclones, hurricanes, or 5 ______________ – depending on where they happen – destroy plant
and animal life in the ocean and on land. Furthermore, polar ice caps are 6 ______________, which
is causing sea levels to rise. This causes floods and is also starting to destroy major cities, sink
entire islands, and cause a lot of other 7 _________________ problems. Furthermore, CO2 and
other 8. _______ gases are not good for humans and other animals to breathe in.

Climate change has already caused a lot of 9._________, and it is continuing to destroy many
ecosystems. Humans are the main cause of climate change, especially through air travel, 10.

turn off the lights and appliances in your home when you’re not using them. Use 13. _________
__________ on your home instead of using electricity from the power plant.

Many people, companies, and 14. ________________ may not feel the need to act immediately
because the destruction of climate change happens 15. ______________ But, if we don’t jump on
it now, it’ll be too late to change later.

9. LISTEN AND FIX THE MISTAKES. WRITE THE CORRECT WORDS. TRACK 78 (SB)

1. Welcome back to the Human Health Network. In part one of tonight’s program, we saw that
young people should only spend about two hours online every day. However, expert results show
that many kids, ages eight and up, are actually online almost six times that amount.
→ _______________________________ _____________________________
2. Here are some more surprising results from the survey. Many teens themselves are worried
about how much time they spend online. 90% of teens agreed that spending too much time online
is a problem. And of them, 50% said it’s a “serious problem,” as you can see on this pie graph.
→ _______________________________ _____________________________
3. 54% of teens said that they think they spend too much time online. So, over half of teens know
they have a problem. But, the problem is more serious than just wasting time online. Psychological
agencies show that too much screen time can disrupt sleep, cause depression, and decrease
obesity.
→ _______________________________ _____________________________
4. To fix the problem, we have to start by understanding our habits. Another result from the survey
showed that 44% of teens check their phone as soon as they wake up. Instead of doing this, try to
change your daily routine. Health experts suggest checking your phone after you’ve washed your
face, gotten dressed, had breakfast, and brushed your teeth.
 → _______________________________ _____________________________
5. They say to do needed tasks last. Set daily goals, and try not to have any screen time until
those goals are accomplished. Parents also need to change. Another result shows that 51% of
teens said they think their parents spend too much time online. So, it’s fair to say that there should
be a family effort to reduce screen time.
→ _______________________________ _____________________________
We hope that the survey results helped you think more about how much time you spend online.
You can learn more by visiting our website. See you next week for our program on the Human
Health Network.

10. LISTEN AGAIN AND WRITE THE WORDS YOU HEAR FROM THE VIDEO IN THE BLANKS.
TRACK 64 (SB)
In part one of my presentation, we looked at a graph and learned that the average global
temperature has been rising. In fact, this is 1.__________ at a higher rate than in the past.
So, how much hotter is the Earth getting every year? This 2.__________ shows that since about
the year 1990, the average global 3. _____________ has increased from 0.15 degrees to 0.2
degrees Celsius every 4.________. Once again, we can see that things are getting hotter much
faster than they have in the past.
You might look at all this information that’s been 5. ______________ and ask, “What’s the big deal?
It’s just a few degrees. The 6. _________ goes up and down all the time.” But remember, these are
global numbers. The temperature is very different locally. For example, it’s a lot hotter in Saudi
Arabia than in Alaska, right?
What the 7._________ numbers tell us is that it’s quickly getting hotter everywhere. This is a
problem, as we can see by looking at the next chart.
What this shows us is that rapidly rising temperatures are making stronger and more 8._________
cyclones, hurricanes, and typhoons. What we can see is that as global temperatures rise, these
9.________ are becoming stronger and stronger.
Many scientists believe these storms are getting stronger because of the rising sea levels, which is
caused by the 10._______ effect melting polar ice caps. Higher sea levels mean that more water is
being 11._________ and transported by these storms. It’s almost like adding more wood to a fire.
The more that is added, the bigger and stronger it will become.
Consider the data I’ve just shown to you on these charts and graphs. Think about the warnings from
all the 12.______ and organizations around the world, too. We need to do something now! Thank
you for listening to my presentation.
