From 15th December

Hello.

I learned from Ferris Online, ELLLO because my weak point is listening skill.



a... The theme was "Green's Concerns in Bangladesh."



b... In Bangladesh, there are many environmental problems. For exemple, siol contamination, air pollution and water pollution because of tanneries. The soil contamination caused by being used a lot of polythene bags once. Still, many polythene bags stay in the ground now because the soil loses its fertility. Also, the air pollution caused by many transports. Recently, the government imports second hand cars which couldn't be older than 6 years. Also, the water pollution's situation is really bod. The people can't drink water, so the government is finding out the solution.



c... We always confront with many kind of environmental problems. Especially, above-mentioned three problems are serious. I feel that the soil contamination part was difficult to understand because I didn't know a relationship between the soil and polythene bags. I doubt why people bury the polythene bags. In contrast, the air pollution problem was easy for me to grasp. The reason for this is that I always worry about the problem. I move by using my car. However, cars discharge exhaust, so we should bicycles or walking when we go out.



d... Words

contamination : pollution

polythene : a strong light plastic used to make bags

fertility : richness

purification : cleaning up, purge

mandatory : compulsory, obligately





I studied listening fluency from ALC Net Academy.

I studied level 2 easier than my listening ability. First, I listened to it slowly, and gradually a speed of listening up.

a... The theme was "June bride."

b... Cathy and Tetsu talk about wedding and June bride. Tetsu said June is rainy season in Japan. However, Cathy wants to marry in June in another country where it is fine.

c... Exactly, many girls admire for June bride. On the other hand, many men is unromantic.
I don't think about which is right, but a wedding is a chance of lifetime. Therefore, I want to get married in June!

d... Nothing.
