News reporter: Here is the weather forecast.

Weather Welcome to the weather forecast. Now, lets see what the

windy and cold. There is a chance o f some rain too, so dont
leave home without your umbrella! The temperature is around
10C. In the east its rainy all day today. Im afraid. There may
be a thunderstorm in the afternoon. The temperature is a bit
higher, at around 13C. In the west and middle o f the country
the weather is dry, but cloudy. So no rain for you, but it is quite
windy and the temperature is just 10C. The south of the
country has the best weather today. Its cloudy most o f the time
but sunny this afternoon. The temperature is around 15C.

Arches National Park is located in the dry desert o f southeastern Utah, just
north o f the city of Moab. This park is home to over 2,000 natural arches
carved from sandstone layers by wind, water and erosion. Local and
international visitors can enjoy breathtaking views o f these natural wonders
throughout the year. Some formations are just off the roads and are accessible
to all people within a short distance on well-travelled trails; other arches can
only be reached by driving distances on four-wheel drive roads or after long
strenuous hikes along sandy washes.
Like any hikes o f this nature, you should be prepared for the adventure in
the desert.
First, hike with a partner for safety and leave a word where you are
traveling in case o f emergency. Personally, I enjoy hiking with family
members and close friends.
Second, carry a cell phone with you. However, keep in mind that you
might not get any reception so don't depend on it.
Third, be sure to have the right clothing and footwear for the hike. Light,
breathable clothing is best during the summer along with a hat and sturdy
hiking shoes.
Fourth, carry plenty o f water because you can quickly become dehydrated
without it. Having a few snacks can give you energy, too.
Fifth, take a small first-aid kit with you. particularly on longer hikes in
case you get injured.
Sixth, pack a detailed map of the area you are hiking, along with a
compass and/or a GPS to locate your position. You might need them to
navigate through unfamiliar terrain.
And finally, take nothing home with you except for pictures and
memories. You can protect these areas by leaving all rocks, flowers and other
objects for future visitors.

Part 1:
Interviewer: Today, Im interviewing twelve-year-old Alex about her feelings

on how people can help save the environment. So, Alex, how can
we save the environment?
Alex: By saving water.
Interviewer: Well, how can we do that?
Alex: By not using too much water when we wash the dishes, take a bath,
and when we do other things, like watering the plants outside.
Interviewer: Oh, I think I can do that. What else?
Alex: When drinking or eating something outside, you should keep the
garbage until you find a trash can to put it in because littering
makes our planet dirty. Do you like seeing trash all over the
ground?
Interviewer: No, I don't. Do you have any final suggestions?
Alex: Yes. We shouldnt waste paper because trees are being cut down to
make the paper. By recycling paper, we save the forests where
animals live.
Interviewer: So, how can children recycle paper, I mean, every day?
Alex: Well, for example, when I was in kindergarten, I used to save the
newspapers so that I could make things out o f them, like paper
trees, instead o f just throwing them away. Now, the children in our
neighborhood collect newspapers once a month to take them to a
recycling center.
Interviewer: Thats great. Well, thanks, Alex, for your ideas.
Part 2:
Marie: Hey, Andrew. Stop wasting water! Turn the shower off!
Andrew: What? I can't hear you! I have the shower running.
Marie: Yes, exactly.
Andrew: What? Oh, okay. I can hear you now. What do you want?
