日常生活英文小对话:Other Issues
Dialogue1
Erin: Did you know that abortion is still illegal in many states
in the USA?
学习啦在线学习网 Drew: Why? I thought Americans were supposed to be
学习啦在线学习网 more open than that.
E: Well, for many religious people,
they believe that people who abort their babies are murderers.
D: Do you think most people in America
学习啦在线学习网 believe that abortion is wrong?
E: No, I think it's mostly the older generation
学习啦在线学习网 who are against abortions.
D: It's no wonder there are so many teenage pregnancies in America.
E: Religious people blame it on pre-marital sex,
not on abortion being illegal.
学习啦在线学习网 D: What do you think about abortion?
E: I personally would never want to have one,
but I think that since a pregnancy can affect a woman's entire life,
学习啦在线学习网 she should have the right to decide for herself
D: Do you think the fathers should have some kind of say
学习啦在线学习网 in the matter?
E: I know this is going to sound sexist,
学习啦在线学习网 but I don't think that men should have to give their approval
to the mothers of their children.
D: Why not? It's their children too.
E: That may be true, but when a woman gets pregnant,
it changes her life completely.
学习啦在线学习网 Men can still carry on with their lives after the birth
exactly as they did beforehand.
D: That might be true,
but I think men should have some kind of say in the matter.
学习啦在线学习网 Dialogue2
D: What do you do when you see a homeless person on the streets
学习啦在线学习网 begging for money?
学习啦在线学习网 E: I never really give them money because I don't want to contribute to their addictions.
D: Homeless youth can easily become involved with drugs and prostitution. Do you do anything to help them?
E: I usually ask them if they want some food
and then give them something to eat. I figure that if they're homeless,
学习啦在线学习网 they're probably hungry.
学习啦在线学习网 D; That's a good idea. Do they usually accept the food?
学习啦在线学习网 E: Almost always. However, sometimes they get mad at me
学习啦在线学习网 for not giving them any cash.
学习啦在线学习网 D: It's sad how more and more young people are sleeping on the
streets in London now.
E: The cost of living in London is just too high for most people.
学习啦在线学习网 D: It's true. The economy is in a bit of mess at the moment.
E: Did you know that few people can pay the rent on minimum wage,
let alone pay for food and other living costs?
D: There just isn't enough affordable housing to go around.
学习啦在线学习网 If only the housing cost would drop, fewer people would be in
学习啦在线学习网 financial trouble.
E: Added to that is the high unemployment rate right now.
D: Something's got to change-and it's got to happen soon.
E:Politicians like to ignore the problems of the working class.
学习啦在线学习网 They like to focus on making life easier for the upper class.
D:I can only hope that one day that will change.
日常生活英文小对话:Threats to Our Environment
学习啦在线学习网 Dialogue1
Marissa: What did you do over the weekend?
Kevin: I went to a global warming rally in London.
学习啦在线学习网 It was fantastic to be around so many people who care about
学习啦在线学习网 the environment.
M: Do you think there's anything we can do to reverse
学习啦在线学习网 the damage that's been done already?
学习啦在线学习网 K: It might not be possible to fix the problems that
we've created for ourselves, but there are lots of things we can all
do to prevent more damage from happening.
M: Like what?
K: Well, we can use public transport instead of taking our cars
for a start.
M: What else can we do to protect the environment?
学习啦在线学习网 K: If you do have to drive, you should make sure that
your car runs on unleaded petrol. Also,
your home should use sources of renewable energy.
学习啦在线学习网 M: How about recycling? Does that actually help?
学习啦在线学习网 K: Yes. You should take your glass, paper, plastic, cardboard,
学习啦在线学习网 and tin cans to a recycling centre.
M: What do you think is the biggest worry for our future?
K: I think that the issue of greatest concern is having enough
sources of clean water for everyone.
学习啦在线学习网 M: I had no idea you were such an environmentalist before!
K: To be honest, in order for the earth to continue to be
学习啦在线学习网 a habitable place,
we're all going to have to become more interested in the environment.
学习啦在线学习网 Dialogue2
K: The air quality in this city is horrendous!
学习啦在线学习网 The pollution levels were so high today that
we weren't supposed to go outside with a face mask again!
M: Exhaust fumes from vehicles cause a great deal of damage
to the environment.
K: On top of that, there are a few large chemical factories
学习啦在线学习网 in the suburbs, which are contributing to the high pollution
levels in the water and the air in this city.
M: As much as I love this city,
I think I'm going to have to find a greener city to live in.
Living in a polluted city like this just can't be good for my health.
K: I know what you mean. However,
学习啦在线学习网 there are so few places left that have not been affected by
学习啦在线学习网 global warming.
学习啦在线学习网 If it's not the pollution, then it's the natural disasters,
deforestation, or the greenhouse effect.
M: What is the greenhouse effect exacdy?
K: It's the gradual rise in the earth's temperature.
M: I see, so it's similar to global warming?
K: They're related to one another, yes.
M: I heard that some people in England are pleased with the fact
that the climate there is becoming warmer because
it's making their towns a more pleasant place to live.
K: People joke about the benefits of the increase in temperature,
but it's not all good news.
They've been experiencing a lot of deadly storms there as well.
学习啦在线学习网 M: People always seem to make jokes as a way to deal wit
h unfortunate situations.
K: I think if everyone pitches in, the world will be a better place.
