Audio script
With the economic development in recent years, people's environmental awareness in Viet Nam has also increased. There have been many green initiatives in both urban and rural communities, which have inspired people to change their lifestyles and help to protect the environment.
Since 2008, ‘Education for Nature Viet Nam’ has collaborated with Super Motor Viet Nam in organising training courses for staff members of national parks and nature reserves. The aim is to help them to learn more about environmental solutions and protection strategies. This project is part of the Go Green Programme, coorganised by the Viet Nam Environment Protection Administration and the Ministry of Education and Training.
Another Go Green campaign is organised by The Plaza's. It includes a series of green activities such as a tree-planting festival, Nature and Environment photo contest, and No Bag Day. Every year, The Plaza's takes part in the Earth Hour event when all its shopping centres turn their lights off to remind customers to save electricity.
To discourage the use of disposable plastic bags, on The Plaza's Green Day shoppers are only offered environmentally friendly paper bags.
It is clear that Viet Nam's government has made a great effort to promote the country's green movement. This has also helped people to adopt environmentally responsible behaviour towards nature.

The greenest countries and cities in the world
1 Quickly read the text and answer the questions that follow.
A GREEN PLACE TO LIVE AND ENJOY LIFE
If you are tired of modern life and you want to contribute more to building a better planet for future generations, think about the following places. According to the Global Green Economy Index (GGEI) 2014 - a detailed assessment of the performance of each country in every continent in the global green economy - Germany and some Scandinavian countries ranked top of the list. The top five countries included Sweden, Norway, Costa Rica, Germany, and Denmark. In addition, the ten greenest cities were Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Vancouver, London, Berlin, New York, Singapore, Helsinki, and Oslo.
Green Stockholm, Sweden
Stockholm dwellers are fortunate to live in one of the greenest capitals in the world. And they try their best to keep it that way. The city is well known for its cycle paths and lanes full of commuters wearing helmets. For people who prefer public transport, there are buses and taxis that run on renewable energy, which is really good for the environment. Besides, both public and private transport can use upgraded biogas produced by waste-water treatment plants applying advanced technologies.
Visitors to Stockholm will be amazed to see that all hotels, hostels and guest houses are environmentally friendly and certified with eco-labels. It's so great that almost 100% of the household waste in the city is recycled and is used for heating and electricity; and drinking water is always of very high and reliable quality. There is no doubt to say that waste in Stockholm is converted into valuable resources. With the recycling revolution and effective waste management, Stockholm has been reducing the amount of waste to rubbish dump to less than 1%.
