--- Listen to the tape then answer this question. |
[00:12.520] |
--- What was so funny about the words on the sign? |
[00:18.520] |
I live in a very old town which is surrounded by beautiful woods. |
[00:24.800] |
It is a famous beauty spot. |
[00:27.400] |
On Sundays, hundreds of people come from the city to see our town and to walk through the woods. |
[00:34.840] |
Visitors have been asked to keep the woods clean and tidy. |
[00:39.920] |
Litter baskets have been placed under the trees, |
[00:43.320] |
but people still throw their rubbish everywhere. |
[00:46.800] |
Last Wednesday, I went for a walk in the woods. |
[00:50.760] |
What I saw made me very sad. |
[00:54.280] |
I counted seven old cars and three old refrigerators. |
[00:59.760] |
The litter baskets were empty |
[01:02.320] |
and the ground was covered with pieces of paper, cigarette ends, old tyres, empty bottles and rusty tins. |
[01:12.040] |
Among the rubbish, I found a sign which said, |
[01:15.760] |
'Anyone who leaves litter in these woods will be prosecuted!'^“ |
