Listen and read.
An eco-friendly fieldtrip to Phong Nha Cave

Ms Hoa: Listen, everyone! this year, we're going on a fieldtrip to Phong Nha Cave, a tourist
attraction in Quang Binh Province.
Class: Hooray!
Nam: I hope I can find some small pieces of stalactites. If I add some to my rock collection,
it will be the best at school.
Mai: I'll buy a lot of snacks to share. We'll have fun!
Ms Hoa: We will have fun, but in a different way. this time, the fieldtrip is going to be ecofriendly.
Nam: Ms Hoa, what's an eco-friendly fieldtrip?
Ms Hoa: Going on an eco-friendly fieldtrip means we'll enjoy, explore and learn about the
place, but in a way that will not damage it. So, Nam, I'm afraid you can't take any
stalactites because it takes hundreds or sometimes thousands of years for them to form.

Nam: Wow! I didn't know that. I won't even touch them, I promise.
Mai: But can we bring snacks?
Ms Hoa: Yes, but if I were you, I wouldn't bring too many snacks. We don't want to
leave litter behind and damage the environment.
Mai: I agree. I'll also try to bring snacks with less packaging.
Ms Hoa: that's a good idea. Let's hope our fieldtrip will be a fun educational
experience for everyone.
