1 Work in pairs. Discuss the following questions.
1. They are energy from coal, oil, natural gas
and hydro energy.
2. We will use solar energy and wind energy.

Mr Lam is giving a lecture on energy sources. Read the text and choose the
best option (A, B, or C) to complete the sentences
Hello, class. Today I'd like to tell you about two energy sources. They are nonrenewable sources and renewable sources.Non-renewable sources are coal,
oil and natural gas. We can use these sources to produce energy. They are
cheap and easy to use. People use them a lot. But they are very limited and
will run out soon.Renewable sources come from the sun, wind or water.
When energy comes from the sun, we call it solar energy. Wind energy comes
from the wind, and hydro energy comes from water. Renewable sources are
available, clean and safe to use. But they are expensive to produce.In the
future we will rely more on renewable energy sources. They are better for
the environment and they will not run out.
