In this class, we focus on developing writing skills. So, one of the most important things we do is practice those skills by writing essays. Today, we'll go over the requirements for your essay assignments. You'll have to write one essay each week. They're not very long essays, just about 350 to 400 words apiece. Every week, I'll assign a different type of essay. So, I thought today we'd go over some of the important essay types. The first type of essay I'll assign will be an essay describing a process. So, you'll need to choose something that you can describe step by step. Part 2. For questions 6-10, listen to the recording and decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F). (5 pts) 6. Most plastic is made from oil, which is a finite resource. T 7. Turng's research focuses on making plastic out of corn and soybeans. T 8. Special composting facilities can currently diminish plastic waste by decomposing it. F 9. The first plant-based plastics were created over 100 years ago. T 10. Turng is working on bioplastics that are stronger than petroleum-based plastics. F TRANSCRIPT Plastic is strong and cheap, and it can be molded easily into all kinds of forms and products. But there are downsides to this commonly used material. After it's used, plastic often turns into trash that's nearly indestructible. And, most plastic is made from oil, and we can't count on oil being around forever.
3 Tom Tern is trying to deal with these problems. Tern is a mechanical engineer at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. He's working on ways to make plastic out of corn and soybeans. He says this kind of plastic can be turned into compost after it's used. He says the plastic will decompose, just like leftover vegetables or garden clippings, as long as the plastic is chopped up. “TERN: You just need to have a proper composition of water, air, and temperature. You mainly have to chop the plastic into small pieces so that the bacterial other microorganisms can consume them.” Tern says special composting facilities some day could reduce mountains of discarded plastic into just carbon dioxide, water, and some leftover organic material. Tern says plastics are made of strings of carbon and hydrogen, and those are some of the main ingredients in both oil and plants. In fact, the first plastics were made from plant materials more than 100 years ago. Tern is working on materials known as bioplastics. He says they're not as strong as the petroleum-based variety and they're harder to work with. He's experimenting with additives that will make bioplastics stronger and easier to mold. When engineers get this recipe they might initiate the replacement of petroplastics with a new variety that's biodegradable. Part 3. For questions 11-20, you will hear a talk on a TV programme. Listen and complete each sentence with NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS. (10pts) The strap was a long piece of leather made especially for (11) ___hitting____ children's palms.

TRANSCRIPT Yvonne:   Any of you who are of my generation or older will no doubt remember … the strap. But for those youngsters listening, I’d better explain because I’m saying this for your benefit. The strap, as they called it, was a thick piece of leather about an inch wide and half as long as a belt and it was especially designed for hitting small children, on the palms of their hands. Nowadays, if you do something wrong at school, you’re unlucky if you even get a telling off. And even the most serious offences get little more than a concerned phone call from the head teacher to your mum and dad. Now, when I was at St Anne’s School for Girls in the
