Hi

I keep seeing the word ‘green‘ in the news: ‘green transport’, ‘green investment’ and just recently ‘green weddings’.

This word, meaning ‘environmentally-friendly’, is a word you need to know because you may have to read, write or speak about a particular environmental issue (or listen to a recording about one) in your IELTS test.

To get you thinking ‘green’, here are some links to recent newspaper articles on green topics.

‘Green city vision…‘ is an article about how London is introducing hydrogen-powered buses, cars, taxis, and even hydrogen-powered buildings, in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

‘China overatkes US in green investments‘ is an article about which countries are investing the most in clean energies.

‘Green couples tie the recycled knot‘ is an article about what some New Zealand couples are doing to make their weddings more environmentally-friendly. By the way, ‘tie the knot‘ is an informal way of saying ‘get married’.

Check them out.

Pete
