Ex1. Read the dialouge and answer the questions.
Types of energy sources
Lan: Hi, Dad. 
Mr Tan: Lan, what are you doing? It’s pretty late now. 
Lan: I’m doing a project on energy sources. But I don’t quite understand what energy is. 
Mr Tan: Well, it’s power that we use to provide us with light, heat or electricity. 

12


Lan: Oh. Where does it come from? 
Mr Tan: It comes from many different sources like coal, oil, natural gas,... We call them
non-renewable sources. 
Lan: Can it come from the sun, wind or water too? 
Mr Tan: Yes, it can. We call those types of energy renewable sources because we cannot
run out of them. Renewable means we can easily replace them. 
Lan: I get it now. 
Mr Tan: You know, some types of energy are cheap and easy to use, but others are more
expensive and harder to find...

Ex5. Read the text and answer the questions.
Hello, class. Today I’d like to tell you about two energy sources. They are non-renewable
sources and renewable sources.
Non-renewable sources are coal, oil and natural gas. We can use these sources to produce
energy. They are cheap and easy to use. People use them a lot. But they are very limited
and will run out soon.
Renewable sources come from the sun, wind or water. When energy comes from the sun,
we call it solar energy. Wind energy comes from the wind, and hydro energy comes from
water. Renewable sources are available, clean and safe to use. But they are expensive to
produce.
In the future we will rely more on renewable energy sources. They are better for the

environment and they will not run out.
1.How many energy sources are there? What are they?
................................................................................................................................................
2.What do non-renewable sources include?
................................................................................................................................................

Ex6. Read the passage and choose one correct answer for each question.
Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actually, the
world's energy resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is left.
However, we also should use them economically and try to find out alternative sources of
power. According to Professor Marvin Burnham of the New England Institute of
Technology, we have to start conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too late; and nuclear
power is the only alternative.
However, many people don't approve of using nuclear power because it is very
dangerous. What would happen if there were a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity
causes cancer and may badly affect the future generations. The most effective thing is that
we should use natural resources as economically as possible.
