Script:

Narrator:Listen to a conversation between a student and his environmental science professor

Student:Hi, Professor Williams - I’m here for our 1:30 meeting.

Professor:Hi Michael. Thanks for being so prompt. That really makes a difference when I have so many students scheduled back to back. If only there could be more than 24 hours in a day.

Student:(Laughs) I know what you mean

Professor：So, what’s on your mind?

Student:Well I’m here about my topic choice.

Professor:For the upcoming oral presentation? By the way, how do you feel about speaking in front of the class?

Student:Well I’d have to say I’m most comfortable writing papers, but I’m not nervous about doing this presentation. It’ll be good public speaking practice you know.

Professor:Exactly, and certainly, it’s a skill that is always useful.

Student:Mm-hmm. Yeah, so the assignment was for us to talk about a current environmental solution? And I found so much eye opening information while researching. The only problem is, I don’t know which area to go with.

Professor:Okay well, which areas most interest you?

Student:Well I’ve spent a lot of time exploring the concept of wind farms. You know, using wind as a source of energy.

Professor:Mm-hmm, go on.

Student:Right um - lots of stuff on that you know types of wind farms and different designs, how they’ve been set up, how to get the most out of them.

Professor:Okay, and what’s another choice?

Student:Well, it’s a tie between wind farms and mushrooms.

Professor:Mushrooms!? Hm! Tell me more about that!

Professor:Yes, I’ve read research about this - but actually Michael it’s the fungus beneath the ground that affects the harmful pollutants. That’s an important difference

Student:Oh ri-right that’s what I meant - I’ll explain it more clearly in class.

Professor:Keep it simple. Something like - just like trees produce apples, it’s the funghi that produce mushrooms - and it’s also those funghi that produce the helpful chemicals.

Student: I understand - it’s just so amazing that something low cost and already there in nature could solve such a large pollution problem caused by humans

Professor: It is intriguing. Wind farms affect, too, but I think most of your classmates will already be generally familiar with that topic. Whereas they might not have heard of this.

Professor: Btw, what’s the growing period for this species?

Student:Ah it only takes a month to grow.

Professor: Great! The university has a greenhouse that’s sometimes available for research projects. Why don’t you stop over there one afternoon, speak to the manager and ask if he’d let you use a small area of the greenhouse?

Student:Okay.

Professor: You could try to duplicate the results of the study!

In the greenhouse?

Professor: Yes! You have three months until the end of this semester. It might make a strong final project!

Student:Okay. Thanks Professor Williams!
