Lin Shuiqing: Good morning, everyone. First I am talking to you today about the way vast areas of the world are damaged by chemical waste. Many places have been destroyed and many plants and animals     1    (die). Other types of waste flow into our water,     2     (kill) river and sea life.

Much sea life is being destroyed by fishing boats as well. These boats catch large numbers of fish without    3     (give) them time to lay eggs. This will result    4    a smaller number of fish left for us to eat in the future.

Qian Liwei: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you, Ms Lin. That was    5    interesting speech. It is clear that you are very concerned about the present situation of our environment. When people think of    6    (factory), they think of clouds of dirty smoke or of pipes pouring chemical waste into rivers. People often have this belief     7    development is bad for the environment. What I’m here to say is that       8     (work) with many environmental consultants, I know that a healthy environment and development should be    9    ( possibly) at the same time. What we need are better laws    10     (preserve) the environment and still allow our country to grow.

People are having a debate about whether     1     (develop) the economy or protect the environment.     2     Lin Shuiqing’s opinion,     3     is our duty to cut back on     4     (produce) and reduce the quantities of things we make and buy while Qian Liwei thinks that businessmen are not greedy and they don’t hide from their     5    (responsible), either. As far as he is concerned, the people     6     (operate) these factories are     7     (deep) concerned about the environment, and should     8     (give) more credit. As     9     matter of fact, many people are willing to pay a little higher price for things     10     are friendly to the environment.
