Rewrite the underlined parts of the sentences using words from A and B opposite. Make 
any other changes necessary.
1 A new 100-kilometre metal tube has been built to bring oil from the holes in the ground for 
extracting oil in the north of the country to a refinery on the coast.
2 The power station is one that uses coal, but it will soon be replaced by a plant that uses atomic 
science.
3 Fire has broken out on a drilling platform in the sea.
4 Power from the tide or from waves could solve the energy problems of countries with extensive 
coastlines. Other parts of the world may be able to use energy from the heat inside the earth.
5 ‘Energy sources that can be renewed are important,’ the Prime Minister said. ‘We intend to 
give grants for people to install devices that turn the heat of the sun into electricity, as well as 
developing groups of turbines based on the land that use wind.’
6 The country is developing two main energy sources: the use of dead plant material and power 
stations that use the force of rivers. At the same time, inefficient deep holes for extracting coal will 
gradually be closed.
