Listening Script:
Our school is holding a Green Day next Wednesday. The project aims to teach young students how to save the environment. We start
by sorting out garbage. There are four kinds of garbage bins in the schoolyard: red, green, white and yellow. Plastic bottle should go
in the red bins-The plastic bin. Tree leaves of food waste should go in the green bins-the compost bin. White bins are for paper things,
the rest goes in the yellow bit. It is difficult to put garbage in the right bin. But we are trying our best.
