they get into rivers and streams. Not only that, they can kill
other plants and wildlife as well as the pests.

banning cars from city centres, using public transport
more often
Transcript
Examiner Which are the two easiest measures to put into
effect?
Student 1 In my opinion, banning cars from the city centres
would be a very quick and easy measure. What’s your view
on that?
Student 2 And the second easiest would be —
Student 1 Hang on a moment. What’s your view on banning
cars, first?
Student 2 Oh. Yes, I agree with you. And the second easiest
would be using more renewable energy.
Student 1 I take a rather different view on renewable energy.
It is very expensive and isn’t always reliable because you rely
on the wind and the sun. What if the sun doesn’t shine much
or there isn’t much wind?
Student 2 That’s a good point. What do you think about
banning aerosol cans?
Student 1 I think that would be very easy, although people
might not like it! The other measure that would be easy to
put into effect would be using public transport more.
Student 2 Yes, I agree. It could be made much cheaper or
even free so that people are encouraged to use it.
Student 1 Using fewer pesticides and fertilisers isn’t so easy to
put into effect, don’t you think?
Student 2 Yes, I agree. Until there are alternatives, I think it’s
impossible to ban them.
Student 1 OK ... We need to come to a decision.
Student 2 Can we agree that banning cars from the city
centres is the easiest?
Student 1 Yes, I’m with you on that. And the second easiest is
either using public transport more often or banning aerosol
cans.
Student 2 Yes. Personally I’d go for using public transport.
Student 1 Me too.
Student 2 That’s settled, then.
