@summit.ehub: IELTS Listening Part 3.1 (CAMBRIDGE 19 - Test 2) #luyennghetienganh #ieltslistening #summiteducation #summitehub BELLA: Hi Don – did you get the copy of the article on recycling footwear that I emailed you? DON: Yeah – it’s here … I’ve had a look at it. BELLA: So do you think it’s a good topic for our presentation? DON: Well, before I started reading it, I thought recycling footwear, well, although it’s quite interesting, perhaps there isn’t enough to say about it, cos we put shoes in recycling bins, they go to charity shops and that’s about it. Q21 BELLA: … but there’s much more to it than that. DON: I realise that now and I’m keen to research the topic more. BELLA: That’s great. DON: One of the things I didn’t realise until I read the article was just how many pairs of trainers get recycled! BELLA: Well, a lot of young people wear them all the time now. They’ve become more popular than ordinary shoes. DON: I know. I guess they are very hard-wearing, but don’t they look a bit casual for school uniform? I don’t think they’re right for that. Q22 BELLA: Actually, I think some of them look quite smart on pupils … better than a scruffy old pair of shoes. DON: So do you keep shoes a long time? BELLA: Yes. Though I do tend to wear my old pairs for doing dirty jobs like cleaning my bike. BELLA: I must admit, I’ve recycled some perfectly good shoes, that haven’t gone out of fashion and still fit, just because they don’t look great on me any more. That’s awful isn’t it? Q23 DON: I think it’s common because there’s so much choice. The article did say that recent sales of footwear have increased enormously. BELLA: That didn’t surprise me. DON: No. But then it said that the amount of recycled footwear has fallen: it’s 6 percent now compared to a previous level of 11 percent. That doesn’t seem to make sense. Q24 BELLA: That’s because not everything goes through the recycling process. Some footwear just isn’t good enough to re-sell, for one reason or another, and gets rejected.
