The components of smog
Smog contains fog and haze. Fog consists of a large number of tiny water or ice. They make the visibility worse. Haze is air pollution. It is mixed up with dust, smoke and other dry articles.
The component that makes up haze may have a negative effect on people’s health, especially for the old and children.
Causes of smog
1. The heavy traffic causes air pollution.
The increasing numbers of cars in the city area send off a
lot of poisonous gas.
2. Factories keep emitting dangerous material that causes smog.
3. Smog can occur more quickly and be more severe on a hot and sunny day.
Effects of smog on the environment
1. Affect the ecological environment.
Smoggy weather has an important impact on roads, railways, aviation, shipping, power supply system and crop growth.
2. Cause great harm to human health.
Hinder the normal blood circulation.
Cause heart disease and breath-related problems.
Effects of smog on the environment

3. Affect traffic safety.

Activity 4: Reading the tapescript
Lecturer: Good evening, everyone, and thank you for coming to today’s talk. I’m Dr Brown and I’m going to talk about air pollution in cities—what we all know as “smog”. Please feel free to stop me if you have any questions. So, first of all, a bit of history. The term “smog” was first used in the 1800s in cities that had problems with smoke and fog.

Activity 4: Reading the tapescript
Student A: Sorry for interrupting, but I believe it was in the 1900s.
Lecturer: Sorry, I made a mistake. You are right. It was in the 1900s. Thank you. London was one of the cities where smog caused big problems. In December 1952, it suffered from “The Great Smog”. It was a very cold winter, so a lot of coal was burned at home and in the factories. The problem was that there was no wind, so thick smog covered the city. Nowadays…
Activity 4: Reading the tapescript
Student B: Excuse me, but can I just ask—did the smog cause any deaths?
Lecturer: I’m afraid so. According to research, about 4000
people are known to have died as a result of the smog, but
that number could be much higher. It was terrible! Nowadays, smog still exists, but is produced by chemicals coming from traffic and factories.
Activity 4: Reading the tapescript
However, governments are taking measures to reduce smog
as much as possible. Now, let’s look at what smog does to our
health…
Student A: If I could just stop you again… Can you give us
examples of these measures?
Lecturer: Well, for example, factories must follow rules about what chemicals they use. In some cities, when there’s smog, people have to pay to drive in the centre. Now, let’s move on
to the impact of smog on our health…

Activity 4: Making a summary and retelling

Activity 4: Reading the summary
The lecture mainly focuses on “smog”. The term smog was created in the1900s. In December 1952, London suffered from “The Great Smog”. A lot of coal was burned at home and in the factories in the cold winter. Besides, there was no wind. Therefore, thick smog covered the city.
Activity 4: Reading the summary
About 4000 people died as a result of the smog. Nowadays, smog still exists because it is produced by chemicals coming from traffic and factories. To reduce the smog, the governments are taking some measures now to improve the air quality.
Activity 5: Answering the question
Q. What is the proper time to interrupt others politely?
A polite interruption is usually framed as a request for permission to interrupt someone, often starting with “If…”,
“May I …?” or “Can I …?”.
Usually we interrupt someone when they pause for
breath, or during the slight pause between spoken
clauses.
Speaking
Read the materials on page 84 and 87. Make up a new dialogue about recycling by using the required expressions.
Reading the sample dialogue
Student A : Hello. Everyone knows it’ s important to protect the environment. I’m going to talk about recycling. Please feel free to stop me if you have any questions. So first of all, the classification of household waste aims to help people separate different types of waste. This is important because these different types of waste can be disposed of
Reading the sample dialogue
or recycled appropriately and effectively. According to the materials I have collected, household waste can be roughly divided into: food waste, non-recyclable waste, recyclable waste, including paper, glass, plastic and used batteries.
Student B: Sorry to interrupt, but I believe used batteries are usually regarded as non-recyclable waste and should be disposed of separately.
Reading the sample dialogue
Student A: Sorry, I’ve made a mistake. You are right. The
used batteries are non-recyclable waste and should be
disposed of separately. Thank you. China plans to introduce household waste classification and sorting in the first batch
of cities by 2020. Only Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and
Chongqing are included in the first batch.
Reading the sample dialogue
Student B: Excuse me. Can I ask another question? You mentioned that only four cities are included in the first batch of cities to introduce household waste classification and sorting. But I remember that apart from these four cities, all capitals of provinces and autonomous regions are also included in the first batch of cities. Is that right?
Reading the sample dialogue
Student A: I am sorry. I’ve made another mistake. You are right. Now, Let’s go back to what I was talking about. The target recycling rate in these cities has been set at 55% by 2020.
Student B: Sorry, but could I just stop you again to check
about the target recycling rate? I am wondering whether
the target recycling rate should be 55% or 35% by 2020.

Reading the sample dialogue
Student A: Well, let me see. Yes, you are right. I am sorry again for making the mistake. Thank you for correcting all my mistakes.
Student B: You are welcome.
Focusing on the useful expressions
Please feel free if you have any questions.
Sorry to interrupt, but …
Sorry, I made a mistake. You are right.
Excuse me. Can I ask another question?
Sorry, but could I just stop you again to check…?
Well, let me see.
I am sorry again for making the mistake.
Making a summary
1. Smog in the past and smog in the present.
