Script:
Mom: Hey Noah, would you like some beef stew for dinner tonight?
Noah: Can we have something else? I'm thinking of cutting down on my meat consumption, specifically beef.
Mom: Why do you want to do that?
Noah: Beef production has negative impacts on our environment and I want to be more responsible with my choices.
Mom: How can cows harm the environment?
Noah: A result of cows' digestive process is methane. It’s a powerful greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.
Mom: I didn't know that.
Noah: The production of beef also indirectly leads to deforestation. To meet the increasing global demand for meat, forests are being cut down to make space for cattle farms.
Mom: You're a teenager, Noah. You need all the nutrients to support your growing body and that includes protein.
Noah: There are other high-protein foods that require fewer resources to produce. I can replace meat with fish or plant-based foods like soya, and peanuts.
Mom: You mean everyone should cut out meat from their diet?
Noah: Not really, mom. There are a lot of sustainable farming techniques so we should buy meat from companies that value our environment.
Mom: OK, I see.
II. READING
TASK 1. Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B or C to each of the questions.
The reason why humans attempt to protect endangered species may involve the balance of the natural ecosystem that has far-reaching effects on the development of human society. It has been scientifically proven that when a certain species is at risk, it’s a warning bell that an ecosystem is extremely unbalanced. Sadly, humans are considered the main cause of the mass disappearance of many wildlife species. To meet our demand, we use natural resources excessively and destroy many forests where millions of species inhabit. In nature, everything is interconnected, so the loss of one species will lead to the loss of others and even an ecological imbalance of the whole region.
Many sources of rare flora and fauna are just obtained by having a well-balanced ecosystem. To assess the extinction risk of species, government agencies and conservation organisations used the IUCN Red List, consisting of more than 42,100 species threatened with extinction. There are nine groups of endangered species, four of which are in very serious trouble. Based on the list, governments and conservationists can take possible measures to safeguard and boost the populations of endangered species. These struggles against probable species extinction have got initial achievements. For example, by the 1980s the giant panda’s numbers in the wild had declined to just over a thousand but now, thanks to China’s steady efforts, the animal is no longer classified as ‘endangered’ according to the IUCN. This can be seen as a motivation for other conservation projects in the future.

The extinction of rare species in the wild
The imbalance of human society
