3. Listening: Plastics

You are going to listen to five news reports on the use of plastics that are illustrated in pictures A to D on p. 10 in your book (Bonamy, D. (2011). Technical English Level 3 Coursebook. Pearson Longman). Look at the pictures in Task 1 again, listen to recording 5 that comes with your coursebook and complete this task. You will hear about the use of plastics in the past, their current applications and how they will probably be used in the future.

(Note: Alternatively, you can read Transcript 5 on p. 118.)
