Script
Hello. I’m Lolo Williams and I’m here to tell you briefly about the Wildlife Trust for South and West Wales.
Now it is, as the name suggests, looking after the wildlife, the local wildlife, all over the South and the western
edge of Wales and it’s a fantastic organization. The staff are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and helpful and
they’re working in it as a vocation. It’s not a way to make money for them; it’s a way of life. They look after
almost 90 reserves all across the patch. So please, why don’t you become a member? They are a charitable
organization. They need your help.
If you join you know that the money is going to a wonderful cause. Every single penny will be spent looking
after the wildlife of South and West Wales. Or become a volunteer as well or why not do both? Even better. At
times like this when the economic climate is looking pretty gloomy; they desperately need your help. So please,
please will you join the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales. Dioch yn fawr. Thank you very much.

Informations sur le document

Le site Internet britannique des eco-schools, eco-schools. org.uk, recense les différentes initiatives menées par ces
établissements à travers le Royaume-Uni.
Corrigé
1. A report: they present initiatives, their authors and their results.
2. Project 1. The students have designed, created and sold a 100% eco-friendly product meant to replace
plastic cling-film.
Project 2. The students focused on reducing their use of water for one day and wanted to show how water can be a
rare resource by showing how much a family in Africa needs for one day.
3. In both cases, the authors of these actions are students (Project 1 from Damers First School; Project 2 from
Penshurst School). Each time, the action was successful. In Project 1, the children managed to raise £3,350 which
they intend to use to create a nature area; in Project 2, the children were interested by this initiative.
4. Both stories took place in eco-schools and both initiatives were students-led and successful. In both cases,
the goal was to develop eco-friendly practices.
5. In both documents, the students were educated to the importance of green practices and led their own projects to
protect the environment. In Project 1, the local citizens were able to take part in this project by buying the students’
product. In Project 2, everyone is concerned by the need to save water, as well as the whole world (with the example
of Africa).
6. In Project 1, “they”: it implies a greater distance it’s a factual report. In Project 2, “we”: it makes the reader feel
concerned about the story, here the need to adopt eco-friendly practices.
