Dear guests, I’d like to talk to you today about renewable
and non-renewable energy.
Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources. They include
oil, coal, and natural gas. They can be used to create
energy, generate electricity, or drive big machinery.
Unfortunately, they are harmful to the environment. Viet
Nam still relies mostly on non-renewable energy sources,
however, hydro power is increasingly used here too.
Hydro and nuclear power can generate a great deal of
energy. They are renewable and plentiful. However, hydro
power is limited because dams cannot be built in certain

areas. Nuclear power can provide enough electricity for the
world’s needs, but it is dangerous.
The sun and the wind are other alternative sources of
energy. The wind turns turbines to make electricity. Solar
power can be converted into electricity. It can be used to
heat or cool our houses. Although there are some
disadvantages, these alternative energy sources can offer
abundant amounts of clean, safe electricity. They will be

Answer the
questions:
1. How many types of energy sources are mentioned
in the text? What are they?

2. What are the disadvantages of hydro and
nuclear power?
3. Why do you think the wind and the sun are
called alternative sources of energy?

4.What types of energy does Vienam use most?
5. What does the professor think Vietnam will use
more in the future?


What is your favourite source
of energy?


How many types of energy sources are
mentioned in the text? What are they?
Two, they are renewable and
non-renewable.


What are the disadvantages of hydro and
nuclear power?
Hydro power is limited because dams
cannot be built in certain areas. Nuclear
power is dangerous.


Why do you think the wind and the sun
are called alternative sources of energy?
Because they are natural sources of
power and we use them instead of nonrenewable sources to get electricity we
need.

What does the professor think Vietnam will use
more in the future?
He thinks Vietnam will use the wind
and the sun as alternative sources
of energy in the future.


What types of energy does Vietnam use most?

We use non-renewable sources of energy the
most but we are increasingly using hydro
power.

Oil is a non-renewable source of energy because it can not
easily be replaced. It can be used to power machinery, but
it also pollutes the environment .


Hydro power is a renewable source of
energy because it comes from water. It is
cheap and plentiful. Unfortunately, dams
can only be built in certain areas.
