In your plan, describe the activities for each day and the reasons for doing them. Days of week Green activities Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Explanation: Days of the week Green activities - Monday - Turn off electric devices when not in use (Tắt các thiết bị điện khi không sử dụng) - Tuesday - Go to school on foot, by bus or ride a bike to school (Đi bộ đến trường, đi xe buýt hoặc xe đạp tới trường) - Wednesday - Water trees in the schoolyard or the place where you are living (Tưới cây tại sân trường hoặc nơi bạn đang sống) - Thursday - Collect used things for reuse and recycle (Thu gom các đồ qua sử dụng để tái sử dụng hoặc tái chế) - Friday - Clean the schoolyard (Dọn dẹp sân trường) Task 2. Listen to a talk show and answer the following questions. 1. What is the main topic of the talk show? 2. What is the aim of the Go Green initiative? 3. What does the mini-project involve? 4. What is the host's opinion about the project? Tape Script: Host: Welcome to our talk show "Green Living". Today, we will hear from two secondary students, David and Mai, who will talk about the Go Green initiative at their school in Cam Ranh. David, can you tell us how you came up with the idea? David: Well, in our science and environmental studies classes, we realised that the way we live can strongly affect our environment. Since we are all passionate about environmental issues, we decided that we should do something to help our school to go green and save our planet. Host: So what have you done so far, Mai? Mai: Two months ago, we launched our "ten-minute a day" mini-project. It involves sparing ten minutes in our break time for specific green activities. We wanted to start with something small and involve as many students as possible. Host: Great! What exactly are these activities? David: On Mondays, during the "green ten minutes" students bring old and broken electronics like second- hand mobile phones and MP3 players for recycling. At the end of the month, we intend to take the items to one of the electronic recycling centres in the city. We have also started an organic vegetable garden, so on Tuesdays, students can spend ten minutes working there, planting seeds, watering them and making sure they

This will teach students that organically grown vegetables are tastier and healthier since no chemicals or pesticides go into their bodies. There will be no soil pollution caused by chemical fertilisers. Mai: On Wednesdays, we invite local environmental groups to have booths at school so students can go and talk to them during the "Green ten minute", and ask any questions. Then on Thursdays, we check for any mould growth on the classroom furniture, especially during hot and humid weather. Host: How about Fridays? David: We thought the last day of the week would be a good time for a quiz to test our environmental knowledge and increase our green awareness. So each time a class prepares five quiz questions for other students t answer during the "green ten minutes". And we give out prizes for the best answers. Host: Sounds fun! Thank you, Mai and David, for sharing your environmental ideas with our listeners. We hope that your mini-project will inspire more people to change their lifestyle and go green. 1.
