XV. Read the passage and answer the question.
A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the air by your own energy needs. You need transportation, electricity, food, clothing, and other goods. CO2 is produced by the burning of fossil fuels which is used to provide energy for your homes, by the cars you travel in and by the manufacture and transport of goods you buy.
Carbon dioxide is also called greenhouse gas, which causes global warming. That is the reason why the carbon footprint is a very poweful tool to understand the impact of personal behaviours on global warming. If you want to contribute to stop global warming, the reduction of your personal carbon footprint is essential. Fist, you can reduce your carbon footprint by driving less. When possible, walk or ride a bike to avoid carbon emissions completely or use public transport in order to decrease CO emissions. Second, support using clean energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal energy and biogas. Finally, reusing or recycling items you no longer use is also a good way to reduce your carbon footprint.

1.How many types of energy sources are mentioned in the text? What are they?
Two. They are renewable and non-renewable.
2.What are the disadvantages of hydro and nuclear power?
Hydro power is limited because dams cannot be built in certain areas. Nuclear power is dangerous.
3.Why do you think the wind and the sun are called alternative sources of energy?
Because they are natural sources of power and we use them instead of non-renewable sources to get the electricity we need.
4.What types of energy does Viet Nam use most?
We use non-renewable sources of energy the most but we are increasingly using hydro power.
5.What does the professor think Viet Nam will use more in the future?
He thinks Viet Nam will use the wind and the sun as alternative sources of energy in the future
Our non-renewable energy sources such as coal, oil, and natural gas will (1) _______run___ out of in the future. That's the (2) ____reason______ why we are looking for alternative sources of (3) _______energy___ which are cheap, clean and effective. These (4) ____kinds______ of energy will not cause (5) _____pollution_____ or waste natural resources. (6) _____Renewable_____ power is one of them. It's currently the cheapest source of large-scale renewable energy.
Most wind energy is produced from turbines that have three 60-meter-long blades. The wind spins the blades, which turn a shaft connected to a generator that produces (7) ____electricity______. Now, mass production and technology advances are (8) ______made____ turbines cheaper. In 2000, cumulative wind capacity (9) ____of ______the world was 17,000 megawatts. Fifteen years later, this number increased sharply to 430,000 megawatts. It is predicted that with this pace of growth, (10) in 2050 one third of the world's electricity needs will be fulfilled by wind power.
Almost all our energy comes from oil, coal, and natural gas. We call them fossil fuels. The earth’s fossil fuels are running out. What will happen when there is no coal, oil and gas on earth?
Scientists are trying to find and use other alternative sources of energy. We can use energy from the sun, the wind, and the water.
Solar energy is unlimited. The sun supplies all the energy used to grow plants, to evaporate water for rain, and to maintain the temperature of the planet. All are necessary for human life. If we are able to collect solar energy, we will be sure to have this abundant source of power.

C. The moon
D, The sun
2. What are the other words or phrase for fossil fuels?
A. Natural
B. Oil
C. Coal
D. Oil, gas, natural gas
3. Natural sources of energy are energy from..............

Energy is fundamental to human beings. Many poor people in developing countries do not have modern sources of energy like electricity or natural gas, with which their life can be improved.
People who live in mountainous areas have to gather wood for fuel. This takes a lot of time. For many people living in rural areas, biogas is the largest energy resource available. The main use of biogas is for cooking and heating, but it can also provide energy for public transport. As biogas is smoke-free, it helps solve the problem of indoor air pollution. Moreover, it’s made from plant waste and animal manure. They cost almost nothing.
The tendency to use renewable energy sources in developing countries is on the increase as non-renewable ones are running outệIn the future, the wind and the sun will be used as the most important environmentally friendly energy sources.
