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.

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
