Time: 15 minutes

Read Green economy and decide if the following statements 11–20 are true (T), false (F) or not stated in the text (NS). Choose the correct answer.

Green Economy

The green economy is an emerging marketplace and a new growing billiondollar sector. It includes things such as organic produce and products, theconstruction of ‘green buildings’ and alternatively-fuelled vehicles. It also includesrenewable energy sources such as wind and electricity, and so represents an economicmodel in contrast to the more traditional model based on fossil fuels (coal, petroleumand natural gas).

The idea of the green economy is based on the awareness of the independenceof human economic activities and ecosystems and the terrible impact that theseactivities can have on climate change and global warming. The green economy seeksto optimize the synergy between three of values: social, environmental and financial.This is most commonly referred to as the ‘triple bottom line’. Furthermore, this typeof economy is environmentally sustainable and is based on the belief that ourbiosphere is a closed system with finite resources and a limited capacity for selfregulation and self-renewal. We depend on the Earth’s natural resources, andtherefore we must create a different economic system that respects the integrity of theEarth’s ecosystems.

According to reports by the ILO (International Labour Organization) and UNDP (United Nations Development Programme), changing patterns of employment and investment resulting from efforts to reduce climate change and its effects are already generating new ‘green jobs’ in many sectors and economies. Millions more could be created in both developed and developing countries. Unfortunately, at the moment too few green jobs are being created where they are most needed, for the 1.3 billion working poor (43% of the global workplace) in the world. The report focuses on ‘green jobs’ in agriculture, industry, services and administration that contribute to preservation or restoring the quality of the environment. It also calls for measures to ensure that these jobs constitute ‘decent work’. In other words, jobs that do not exploit people for example with long hours and low pay.

TFNS
11Cars that use alternative fuels are part of the green economy.
12Examples of fossil fuels are coal, petroleum and natural gas.
13The green economy is only interested in human economic activities.
14Traditional economy sees natural fossils as endless resources.
15The green economy recognizes that the Earth’s biosphere has natural resources that will run out.
16The ILO and UNDP say that efforts to reduce climate change will create green jobs in the future.
17All the green jobs are in the developing countries.
18Over 40% of the world’s workplace is poor.
19Heavy industry may promote green working zones as well.
20‘Decent work’ means jobs that respect people’s working conditions.

Two.Waiter:

Here’s the bill. I hope you enjoyed your meal, sir. And remember – bring your friends with you next time – but, don’t tell your enemies where we are – it’s a secret!

Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear the recording twice

Louise:

I’ve worked as a sportswear designer for a big store for four years now, but I haven’t always worked in fashion. When I left school I worked as a secretary for a couple of years, and then became a bank clerk before getting a job in a travel agency. But I always dreamt about working in fashion, and I used to spend a lot of time staring out of the window and drawing clothes!

So, when I was 25, I went to college – the London School of Fashion, and did a four-year course there. You don’t learn how to actually design and make clothes until the second year – the first year is spent looking back at the fashions of the past. In the third year you work in a big store, looking at clothes made by all the famous fashion names.

I enjoyed the last year of the course most, because each student designs seven sets of clothes for the final fashion show. All the students at the school come to the final show, and you can invite other friends as well. But for me, the best thing was that my Mum and Dad could come and see what I’d done. Of course, people who are really well-known in the fashion trade often come too.

I loved the final show. The things I designed were all sports clothes. The shape of these clothes is really quite simple, so it’s sometimes hard to make them look new and interesting. But I particularly like the materials you use because they feel soft when you’ve got them on.

I was very lucky to get work as a fashion designer as soon as I’d finished college. A few students from my course were offered work by really famous fashion designers, but I was offered permanent work by the store I’d worked for as a student, and I’m now designing a special range of clothes for the store. In fact, most of the other students on my course aren’t designing at all – they’re working in advertising for the fashion industry.

I really love my work, but I intend to have my own business in the end – I’d like to design children’s sports clothes, and sell them on the internet. I don’t expect to be fantastically successful, but if I could earn enough to live on, that would be great.

Now you have 15 seconds to answer the questions, then you will hear the recording again.
