Skimming
Divide the conversations into several parts and find out their main ideas.
Trees in our daily lives Rebecca wants to know more about trees and how they help us. She is interviewing Dr Jones about trees. Rebecca: How do trees help us, Dr Jones Dr Jones: They help us in many ways. They keep the air cool and clean. They take in harmful gases from the air and produce oxygen for us to breathe. They’re major fighters against air pollution. Rebecca: I know trees also make our lives more convenient. Many of the things in our daily lives come from trees, for example paper and pencils. Dr Jones: You’re right, Rebecca. In fact, we get a lot more from trees. We get fruit and oil from them. Tea also comes from the leaves of trees. Look around this room. A lot of the furniture is made of wood. Trees are really important in our daily lives. Rebecca: I can’t imagine a world without trees. Dr Jones: But we cut down millions of trees every year. We should stop doing this if we don’t want a world without trees.
