Listening Practice 4

Kelly: Brian, what are you doing?

Brian: Hi, Kelly. I’m writing a paper about air pollution for class.

Kelly: How much have you written? I want to go out and play.

Brian: Well, I am nearly done, but I think I need to add a little more information. Do you want to hear my paper and give me some suggestions?

Kelly: Sure!

Brian: OK, here it goes. Air pollution is caused when harmful substances damage the atmosphere. It is mostly caused by motor vehicles, factories, volcanic eruptions and fuel production. Air pollution can harm our bodies. Some research shows it causes lung cancer and even heart disease. OK that is what I have written so far. What else should I add?

Kelly: Well, so far it sounds great. But – I think it would be good to tell people some ways they can help reduce air pollution.

Brian: That is a great idea! Thanks.

Kelly: OK. Can we go play now?

Brian: Umm give me about 20 more minutes.
