We know that the problem is that there is too much garbage, and no place to put all of
it. We need to reduce the amount of garbage that we put it into landfills. There are
several ways we can reduce the amount of garbage we put it into landfill.
The best way is to reduce the size of the containers we use. This means that we need
to make containers smaller. These days, many things you buy in the store come inside a
lot of paper and plastic. These paper and plastic containers make a lot of garbage. Some
companies have started to make their containers smaller. If we make all of our
containers smaller – smaller , thinner, lighter – we will have less garbage.
It’s very important for us to continue thinking about new ways to reduce and recycle
our garbage. If we all work together, then we can solve our garbage problem.
1.We do not worry about the place to put the garbage we have.
2.There is one way we can do to reduce the amount of our garbage.
3.We need to make containers smaller so as to reduce the amount of our
garbage.

Tapescript
We are having a wonderful time in Hoi An. The streets are long but very narrow.
Cars and mortorbikes are not allowed to enter the center of the town.
Therefore we have to walk and visit the town. The houses are old but very beautiful. I
don’t like the way people do business here. It seems that every house has a shop to sell
souvenir and other stuffs. I like people here. They are nice, friendly and helpful. The
food looks funny but it tastes quite nice. I haven’t bought anything for you but I think
I’ll buy you some little colorful lanterns.
