Conversation Workbook, level B1, lesson 11. In class and in group work.

Exercise 3. Listen to the conversation. Planning a presentation.

OK, let's agree on the main points before we start. Our topic is plastic in the ocean.

I think we need three parts: the problem, the causes and the solutions.

Good. How far have you gotten with the statistics, Bohdan?

I've found some numbers, but I'm not sure about one of them.

Where did you find that information?

On a blog. Maybe it isn't reliable.

We should use the UN website instead. Let's hear what Tereza thinks first. She's doing the slides.

The idea is good, but I think we should make the solutions part clearer. We need one more example.

What about the deposit system for bottles in some countries?

Perfect. Can everyone send me their part by Wednesday evening? We present on Friday.

Fine. I'll check the conclusion tonight.

Exercise 4. Your turn. Listen, stop the recording and answer. Then listen to a possible answer.

A.

Shall we just start writing?

Let's agree on the main points before we start.

B.

There are eight million tons of plastic in the ocean every year.

Where did you find that information?

C.

What do you think of my slide?

The idea is good, but we need one more example.

D. Ask your partner about their progress.

How far have you gotten with your part?

E. Olena hasn't said anything yet.

Let's hear what Olena thinks first.

F.

This part is a bit confusing.

I agree. I think we should make this part clearer.

This is the end of the recording.
