Tony: Hey, Mark, maybe we could go swimming in the river later this afternoon.
Mark: I don’t think I want to go, Tony.
Tony: Why not?
Mark: I was there last weekend and the river was really dirty. Even the bottom of the river was full of rubbish, and there were no more fish for fishermen to catch.
Tony: No way! It used to be so clean. In fact, it has always been the nicest river in this town.
Mark: Not anymore. I think people are throwing litter into the river. Factories are also putting waste into the river.
Tony: That’s terrible! We should write to the government. They should close down the factories.
Mark: Good idea! But I think everyone in this town should help to clean up the river, too. Everyone should play a part, not just the government.

托尼：嗨，馬克，或許今天下午晚些時(shí)候我們可以去河里游泳。
馬克：我認(rèn)為我不想去，托尼。
托尼：為什么不想去？
馬克：上周末我去那兒了，河里真的很臟。甚至河底充滿了垃圾，不再有魚讓漁民去捕。
托尼：不可能!過去它是那么干凈。事實(shí)上，它一直是這個(gè)鎮(zhèn)上最美麗的河流。
馬克：不再是了。我認(rèn)為人們正在把垃圾扔進(jìn)河里。工廠也正在把廢物倒進(jìn)河里。
托尼：那太可怕了！我們應(yīng)該給政府寫信。他們應(yīng)該關(guān)閉那些工廠。
馬克：好主意！但我認(rèn)為鎮(zhèn)上的每個(gè)人也都應(yīng)該幫助清理河流！人人都應(yīng)該參與，不僅僅是政府。

Interviewer: Today we’re talking to Jason and Susan about environmental problems. Jason and Susan, can you tell us about some of the problems you’ve seen?

Susan: Yes, and I used to see the stars clearly.
Interviewer: What do you think has caused this problem?
Susan: Well, there are more cars on the road these days.
Jason: And factories that burn coal also pollute the air with a lot of black smoke.
Interviewer: What other problems do you see?
Susan: I guess there’s too much rubbish and waste in the streets.
Jason: Yes! Every day people are throwing away things like wooden chopsticks, plastic bowls and plastic bags.
Susan: They’re also littering in public places, for example, during picnics in parks. This is turning beautiful places into ugly ones.
Interviewer: You’re right. These are serious problems for our environment. Next, let’s talk about the things we can do to help.
