Remember! The passive voice is used in some cases.

- When the object of a sentence is not important: Solar
panels will be put on the roof.
- When the doer of the action is not known: Alternative
sources of energy will be developed quickly.
If the doer is still important, we can add a ‘by’ phrase:

Skill 1

Dear guests,
I’d like to talk to you today about renewable and non-renewable energy.
Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources. They include oil, coal, and
natural gas. They can be used to create energy, generate electricity, or
drive big machinery. Unfortunately, they are harmful to the environment.
Viet Nam still relies mostly on non-renewable energy sources, however,
hydro power is increasingly used here too. Hydro and nuclear power can
generate a great deal of energy. They are renewable and plentiful.
However, hydro power is limited because dams cannot be built in certain
areas. Nuclear power can provide enough electricity for the world’s needs,
but it is dangerous. The sun and the wind are other alternative sources of
energy. The wind turns turbines to make electricity. Solar power can be
converted into electricity. It can be used to heat or cool our houses.
Although there are some disadvantages, these alternative energy sources
can off er abundant amounts of clean, safe electricity. They will be valued
more and more in the future in Viet Nam.
 A : Match the verbs
with the nouns.

1. create a. machinery

2. drive b. turbines

3. generate c. energy

4. d.
turn houses
5. heat e.
electricity

in certain areas. Nuclear power
is dangerous
3. Why do you think the wind and 3. Because they are natural

to get the electricity we need.

4. What types of energy does Viet 4. We use non-renewable

Nam use most? sources of energy the most but
we are increasingly using hydro
power.
5. What does the professor think 5. He thinks Viet Nam will use
Viet Nam will use more in the the wind and the sun as 23
future? alternative sources of energy in
the future.
