. LISTENING UNIT 10:

Listening transcript: Listen to some information about a school event.

Our school is holding a “GREEN DAY” next Wednesday. The project aims to teach young students
how to save the environment. We start by sorting out garbage. There are four kinds of garbage bins
in the school yard: red, green, white and yellow. Plastic bottles should go in the red bins - the plastic
bin. Tree leaves and food waste should go in the green bins - the compost bin. White bins are for
paper things. The rest goes in the yellow bin. It is difficult to put garbage in the right bin, but we are
trying our best.
