“Our desire for progress has side effects and smog is one of them,” says the Dutch inventor Daan
Roosegaarde, who was inspired to look for a solution after visiting Beijing in 2013. Three years later, his
seven metre-high ‘Smog Free Tower’, supported by the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection,
25 opened in Beijing. It is a giant, outdoor air purifier. In much the same way that static electricity can make
loose hairs stick to a comb, airborne particles are sucked into the tower where they receive a positive charge.
The particles are then captured by a negatively charged dust-removal plate and clean air is blown out of the
other end.
Roosegaarde believes his tower could be part of the bridge between the high-polluting industrial age and the
30 low-carbon future. “This kind of direct solution is not the permanent final solution, it is the in-between step,” he
says. “We're working now on the calculation: how many towers do we actually need to place in a city like
Beijing to get a pollution reduction of 20-40%? It shouldn't be thousands of towers, it should be hundreds. We
can make larger versions as well, the size of buildings.”
However, the battle for hearts and minds – to educate urban citizens of the dangers of air pollution – remains
35 almost as hard as the science. London’s busiest shopping district Oxford Street continues to draw huge
crowds, despite regularly recording annual NO2 levels that are three times the EU’s legal limit.
The hope was that the pigeon patrol would encourage Londoners to be more aware of the air they were
breathing. “Pollution is invisible, so if we want to make it visible we have to find a way to grab people's
attention,” says Pierre Duquesnoy at DigitasLBi, which came up with the idea in partnership with Plume Labs,
40
the air pollution app.
The fight against outdoor air pollution is really just starting. Duquesnoy likens it to the healthy food craze
sweeping through his native France. “People are so worried now about what they eat that they look at all the
packs, turn the food upside down and read all the labels.” The more informed we are about what we eat, he
says, the more interest we take in what we consume. And we consume around 8,000 litres of air every day.
2. Match the ideas in column A with the corresponding paragraph in column B. Two of the paragraphs

6. Read the following text about overpopulation. Three sentences have been removed from it.
From sentences 1) to 5), choose the one which fits each gap a) to c). Two of the sentences do not
apply.
Overpopulation
Overpopulation is a major cause of most of the world’s problems. Whether it is a question of food shortage,
lack of drinking water or energy shortages, every country in the world is affected by it – or will be.
Partly thanks to the import of goods from abroad, any particular country is able to maintain its own welfare.
But this cannot go on in an unlimited way. (a) __________________. The world population is threatening to
5 rise in the next few decades to 8 or 10 billion. There is a good chance that more and more countries will need
their own products themselves.
Our planet can offer a quality of life comparable to that enjoyed in the European Union to no more than 2
billion people. With a population of 8 to 10 billion, welfare per person on a world scale will drop to that of a
poor farmer who can scarcely provide sufficient food for himself and knows nothing of welfare. (b)
10 __________________.
The climate is changing – and it matters little whether this can be blamed on human activity or on changes in
the solar system. The sea level only has to rise slightly in order to cause a great deal of valuable agricultural
land to disappear. At present we seem to think that we can keep ahead of famine with the use of artificial
fertilisers, by the inhumane breeding of animals and other survival strategies.
15
At the same time, human beings have a tendency to want more and more.
Worldwide the numbers of cars and refrigerators are increasing before our very eyes. But there will come a
time when population growth and welfare collide. There is a reasonably good chance that floods of people will
trek all over the world searching for more food and welfare.
(c) __________________. Unfortunately, technical solutions have not yet been able to combat world hunger
20 in any significant way. Wherever there is no recognition or problem-solving on a worldwide scale, war and
violence would seem to be inevitable: everyone wants to survive.
The only solution is a population policy applied on a worldwide scale.
1) Technicians are only too happy to point to technology saying that it has solutions to all our problems up
its sleeve.
2) Laws are being created to make sure everyone has access to essential goods.
3) There’s nothing we can do to stop it.
4) In fact, the number of inhabitants is rising in every country.
5) And thus we will have to share everything fairly in order to avoid disputes or war.

Mumbai – the Indian city of dreams
Mumbai, which has a population of 23,900,000, is a spectacular paradox of chaos and hope, glamour and poverty,
modernity and tradition, old and new. Famously known as the City of Dreams, Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay,
has a long colonial history, starting from Gandhi's visits to the city to the intense protests against the Simon
Commission in 1928 starting off the road of freedom, the city has witnessed many important events in the country's
freedom struggle. Today, Mumbai is a melting pot of cultures and lifestyles. The city adapts everything it can, making it
its very own. From European inhabitants who migrated years ago to the city to upcoming actors struggling to make it
big on the silver screen; from Bollywood superstars to big industrialists to tribes of fisherman and slum dwellers,
Mumbai is a megacity of the world that proudly tells stories of people from different walks of life.
Arika
Tokyo – a beautiful Japanese blend of old and new
With 38,140,000 inhabitants, Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is in every sense what you could call "a mix". This megacity is
known for its big technology, its unique pop culture, and how it likes to hold on to tradition. With every area having
something different to offer, it is truly the best place to live for those people who are seeking variety and adventure.
Nestled in South-Eastern Japan, Tokyo is a city not only of towering skyscrapers, immaculate roads and architecture
but also of forests, traditional shrines and cherry blossoms in the spring. A combination of poetic wonder and
technological marvel, Tokyo is one of the most efficient megacities to live in.
Zhou
Shanghai – the towering Chinese metropolis
Shanghai, with a population of 34,000,000, is among China's most important cities. It is the most populous city in China
and also the biggest population of any megacity in the world. Due to its wide array of tourist attractions, Shanghai
serves as one of China's best tourist destinations. Shanghai has been a major part of China's super fast rise in the
modern world. It is a very important global financial centre and also the busiest container port in the world. The Pudong
area skyline shows the dominance of Shanghai as China's financial centre, with some of the tallest structures in the
world such as the Shanghai Tower, the Shanghai World Financial Centre and the Jin Mao Tower.

SCRIPT 2
Reporter: Live from Luton, this is today’s news. A community group set up to tidy and clean a town is
"transforming" it, one of its organisers has said. Kevin Poulton co-created Asset Based
Community Development or (ABCD) in Luton in May as a hobby, to recruit volunteers to make
one area of town greener and cleaner. It now operates across 15 other neighbourhoods and
involves about 500 residents.
Mr Poulton, what were you expecting when you came up with this idea?
Kevin Poulton: When it started, we didn't expect anything; we've been quite surprised by how quickly it's
grown.
Reporter: We are aware that the group, working in conjunction with Luton Neighbourhood Council,
facilitates people who want to improve the area they live in by providing equipment and
arranging for waste to be collected. So far more than 1,950 bags of rubbish and six trucks of
green waste have been taken away.
Kevin Poulton: In fact, the trend is towards residents doing more for themselves with the council supporting.
This has to be the future model.
I'm very proud that so many people in Luton want to show pride in where they live and share
their passion – it's empowering them. You can really see the difference, as people can now
walk areas that they wouldn't have wanted to before, the town is looking better, it's improved. It
brings the community together and gives a sense of pride about caring where you live.
Reporter: Thank you, Mr Poulton. Now, here with us are Deniece Dobson and Anna Capasso, two Luton
residents. How do you see this initiative? First you, Ms Dobson.
Deniece Dobson: My neighbourhood, Marsh Farm, has been supported by ABCD-in-Luton, with several clean-
ups taking place. It has brought people together – I met neighbours I didn't know had lived
there for years. Many people have told me that it has done loads to reduce their loneliness –
makes them feel connected. Rather than sitting about complaining, people have decided to get
out and do something.
Reporter: And Ms Capasso, what's your view?
Anna Capasso: I’m so happy by the work. I was sometimes ashamed when family visited us, as the
neighbourhood was so dirty and I couldn't do anything cleaning it up by myself.
Reporter: Thank you so much for sharing this great project with us. Hope it can inspire other
communities. Now, back to studio.
