As you read the text you'll see that part of the second half of it is missing...
Could you write down any of the missing information?
Give it a try if you like!

- Visit Pili's Intermediate 2 blog to revise some vocabulary.
- Visit the previous post if you missed it yesterday!
Cheers!
Have a gorgeous weekend!

PEER ASSESSMENT: Assessment (‘evaluation’) undertaken by fellow (peer) students.
ReplyDeleteThis exercise is really useful to improve our listening but it is very difficult because of vocabulary and pronunciation. I have enjoyed doing it. These are my sentences:

I think is a hard work to find out all the words. I hope I found some.
ReplyDeleteClimate change could potentially compound growing population pressure on food supplies. Already fragile in many places, over the long term, worldwide agriculture ………… lightly decrease drastically in all regions. And as always, the poorest among us are the most vulnerable.
Rain-fed agriculture could drop 50% by 2020 in some African Countries, increasing malnutrition and the need for emergency aid. Nearly 1/6 of the world’s people rely on melting glaciers for drinking water. Crucial supplies which are expected to decline significantly as these glaciers melt away. 44% of the world’s people live within 150 km of the coast and will be exposed to more frequent and destructive storms in coastal flooding and rising sea level which may over time inundate low lines countries, islands and cities. Cities like Alexandria, Calcutta, Dakar, Bangkok and Shanghai. Home of hundred of millions of people. We would have to avoid that. Regions that they’re bear released responsibility for what is happening could be the hardest yet.
Thanks!!, I was really nervous, but I thought it´s necesary to improve our speaking, but i think that to speak in front of every classmate is worse than speak in front of you only.
ReplyDeleteAnyway I listened it closely but I am not sure about If it is right or wrong,...:
Climate Change could potentially compound growing population pressure on food supplies. Already fragile in many places. Over the long term worldwide agriculture yields would lightly decrease drastically in all regions, and as always, the poorest of among us are the most vulnerable. Rain-fed agriculture could drop 50% by 2020 in some African countries, increasing malnutricion, and the need for the emergency aid.
Nearly 1/6 of the world´s people rely on melting glaciers for drinking water. Crucial supplies which are expected to decline significantly as these glaciers melt away. 44% of the world´s people live within 150 km of the coast and will be exposed to more frequent and more destructive storms in coastal flooding and rising sea levels, which may over time inundate low line countries, islands and cities, cities like Alexandria, Calcutta, Dakar, Bangkok and Shangay. Home of hundred of millions of people. We would have to adapt.
Regions that bear the least responsability for what is happening will be among the hardest yet. ...
hello everybody!
ReplyDeletehere is my exercise:
Climate change could potentially compound growing population pressure on food suplies. Already fragile in many places, over the long therm, weorldwide agriculture kills will be decreased drastically in all regions, and as allways the poorest...are the most vulnerable. Rainfed agriculture could drop 50% by 2020 in some african countries increasing malnutrition and the need for emergency aid.
Nearly 1/6 of the world´s people rely melting glaciers for drinking water. crucial suplise which are expected what you epected to decline significate as these glaciers met away.44% of the world people live within 150 km of the coast and will be exposed to more frequent and more destructive storms in coast of floding and rising sea levels which may over time inundate low line country, islands and cities. Cities like Alexzandria, calcota, Dakar and shangai. Home of hundred of millions of people. We would have to avoid that. Regions that are be released responsability for what is happening could be the hardest yet..
This was a hard excirse!
See you nex day classmates
You are all gorgeous!
ReplyDeletegreat work dear ones!
Thank you very much Dulce. I was soo nervous!! :-S But It was good moment to practice and improve the speaking.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to listen and watch the video and I'm trying to writing down the missin information. :-)
I'm sorry, last night I wrote a reply in this post, but unfortunately it wasn´t properly done. If only I hadn't forgotten what I'd written...
ReplyDeleteSome may disappear forever...
climate change could potentially can pound on growing populations pressure on food supplies already fragile in many places.
Over the long term, worldwide agriculture yield will likely decrease drastically in all regions. And as always, the poorest the man as are the more vulnerable.
Rain-fed agriculture could drop 50% by 2020 in some African countries, increasing malnutrition and the need for emergency aid.
Nearly 1/6 of the world´s people rely on mountain glaciers for drinking water, could our supplies which are expected to decline significantly as these glaciers melt away.
44% of the world´s people live in 150 km of the coast and will be most exposed...
which may overtime inundate low line countries, islands, and cities. Cities like Alexandria, Calcutta, Dakar, Bangkok, and Shanghai, home of hundreds of millions of people.
We will have to adapt. Regions that barely are least responsibility for what is happening will be among the hardest hit.
We can shape a different future. The IPCC's reports that have been endorsed by more than hundred an 50 countries offer a wing of options for moving forward together. Solutions exist but there's no time to waste.
First, ... then, according to the world's scientists, we could limit the rising ... and prevent the most severe impact of climate change...
This must be a global effort and with real leadership it can be done, all of us must change our consumption patterns. Improve conservation and energy efficiency could help enormously without requiring major expenditures, but it is largely up to governments to ensure that the right choices are available and attractive.
Like more efficient modes of transportation, and better building coats, better management of our forests can also play a vital role helping the planet to heal itself by drying carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
The IPCC also suggests we change the way we think about energy the cost of fossil fuels should reflect their long term impacts on climate change. A price on carbon emissions would include the development of alternative energy sources and that would help developing countries choose a more environmentally sustainable course.
One way or another, the Earth will survive, by acting together the world's leaders can ensure that we will too. and that the planet ... where they can thrive.
Here went my contribution to this post.
I'm trying to remember the exact words I wanted to share with you... anyway, the main idea was about how we live in a non-honest society, which unavoidably affects the environment... our Wellness Society is just a big lie, a big business and, no sooner we realize the trend our planet is undergoing, such a desperate reaction against our anonimous selfish acts, we frighten. If only we would be a bit more conscious...
The worst of all is that all it says it´s true!! we just can try to be more aware of what we do and try to help the world with our small but not insignificant contribution!!
