5. The speaker explains why littering is a serious problem.

6. The speaker says that it’s important to educate people about littering.

Speaker A

Every day I go to school I see litter on the ground. People carelessly throw paper, fast food, cans, paper cups, actually anything! They don’t know how much they damage the environment. And don’t realize the results of littering. That’s why I’m sure it’s important to teach and show everyone how bad littering is for the environment. Children should also be taught to throw garbage in litter bins right from school days. Parents and schools should do that. Eco-organisations can provide posters for schools. If there is enough information about the bad effects of littering, it may help solve the problem.

Speaker B

It seems to me that people are just too lazy to take their litter to a garbage bin or a recycling bin. If there is no garbage container nearby, you know what they do? They will just throw their garbage in any place! No matter where they are. It may even be a public park, a street, or a playground. In other cases, people don’t want to cross a street or walk a few steps to throw their litter. How do you like that! Sometimes people don’t care what and where they throw. They hope someone will clean the litter or that it’s the cleaner’s duty to clean after them. Really, I cannot understand that.

Speaker C

Littering is mostly a big problem in towns and cities, I suppose. And it has awful environmental consequences. For example, wind, traffic, and animals may carry litter to lawns, parks, playgrounds and other public places. I see it every day in my town. I know that littering harms and kills wildlife. Animals can mistake litter for food and die when eating it. Besides, heavy rains and storms carry litter into rivers and lakes and in this way they add to water pollution. So if water becomes polluted from litter, we can no longer use it for drinking or swim in it. Littering is indeed an important matter.

Speaker D

I guess we’ll all be happy to see less litter around. And usually we blame others for that. And forget to look at ourselves. As I think we should all ask ourselves: what can I do to solve the problem of littering? Well, I think the answer is clear. Each person should realize that it’s our duty to stop littering. The government can make laws, but if we don’t make the first step ourselves, nothing will help. We should not litter ourselves. So, we should start changing our own behaviour. In this way we’ll be an example to others.

Speaker E

My school has joined an interesting green programme called the Big Tidy Up. It’s not a new idea in my town, because thousands of schools are already doing it. This programme helps collect thousands of bags of litter from school grounds. Some of my classmates don’t like it, but to me it seems a good idea. Our school ground is full of paper cups, plastic lunchboxes and other stuff. Today we have got our “equipment”, that is a sweeper, bags, gloves and even an information booklet. So tomorrow we’re starting our spring cleaning.

Text A

Every day I go to school I see litter on the ground. People carelessly throw paper, fast food, cans, paper cups, actually anything! They don’t know how much they damage the environment, and don’t realize the results of littering. That’s why I’m sure we should learn about it from an early age. Like, children should learn to throw garbage in litter bins right from school days. Parents and schools should do that. Eco-organisations can provide posters for schools. If there is enough information about the bad effects of littering, it may help solve the problem.

Text B

It seems to me that people are just too lazy to take their litter to a garbage or a recycling bin. If there is no garbage container nearby, you know what they do? They will just throw whatever they have in any place! No matter where they are, be it a public park, a street, or a playground.

It’s totally irresponsible. In other cases, people don’t want to cross a street or walk a few steps to throw their litter. How do you like that! Sometimes people are not bothered about what and where they throw. They hope someone will clean the litter or that it’s the cleaner’s duty to clean after them. Really, I cannot understand that.
