Hello students. Today I'd like to tell you some information about types and sources of energy. Energy is classified into two main groups: renewable and non-renewable.The energy generated from natural sources such as the sun, wind, rain, and tides is called renewable energy. They are plentiful and can be generated again and again. They also have low carbon emissions, so they are considered green and environment-friendly. Moreover, using renewable energy can reduce your electricity bills. Unfortunately, solar energy can be only used during the daytime but not during night or the rainy season. Geothermal energy also can bring toxic chemicals beneath the earth's surface to the top and can create environmental changes.

Non-renewable energy is the energy taken from other sources that are available on the earth. They are limited and will run out in the future. They can't be re-generated in a short time. Fossil fuels - natural gas, oil and coal - are examples. They are cheap and easy to use. However, when burnt, they release toxic gases in the air, so they cause serious environmental changes such as global warming. And the important thing is that non-renewable sources will expire someday.

71. How many main groups of energy sources are there? 

A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5

72. What is NOT mentioned as a source of renewable energy? 

A. solar B. wind C. coal D. tides

73. What is TRUE about renewable energy sources?

A. having high carbon emissions B. plentiful and can be generated again

Dear guests, I’d like to talk to you today about renewable and non-renewable energy. Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources. They include oil, coal, and natural gas. They can be used to create energy, generate electricity, or drive big machinery. Unfortunately, they are harmful to the environment. Viet Nam still relies mostly on non-renewable energy sources, however, hydro power is increasingly used here too.

Hydro and nuclear power can generate a great deal of energy. They are renewable and plentiful. However, hydro power is limited because dams cannot be built in certain areas. Nuclear power can provide enough electricity for the world’s needs, but it is dangerous. The sun and the wind are other alternative sources of energy. The wind turns turbines to

make electricity. Solar power can be converted into electricity. It can be used to heat or cool our houses. Although there are some disadvantages, these alternative energy sources can offer abundant amounts of clean, safe electricity. They will be valued more and more in the future in Viet Nam.

2.What are the disadvantages of hydro and nuclear power?

3.Why do you think the wind and the sun are called alternative sources of energy?

4.What types of energy does Viet Nam use most?

5.What does the professor think Viet Nam will use more in the future?

We use many different energy sources to do work for us. Energy sources are classified into two groups - renewable and nonrenewable. Non-renewable energy sources are those that take millions of years to form and will run out some day. It is energy that comes from fossil fuels such as coal, crude oil, and natural gas. Fossil fuels are mainly made up of carbon and were formed millions of years ago. The chemical reaction which takes place when we burn fossil fuels releases carbon compounds such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide into the air. Carbon dioxide is one of the green house gases which is contributing to global warming and air pollution. On the other hand, renewable energy sources will never run out, are better for the environment and do not cause pollution. Renewable energy is often called green energy because it is a natural energy, always available and does not have to be formed like nonrenewable energy. The green energy is always there. For example, the Sun consistently shines, water is abundant, and the winds blow throughout the year. The five types include solar, energy from the Sun; geothermal, energy from heat within the Earth; hydroelectric, energy from moving water; biomass, energy from dead plants and microorganisms and finally, energy from the wind.

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 non-renewable 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.

1. Non – renewable sources are cheap and _________.

A. available

B. easy to use 

C. expensive

2. _________come from the sun, wind or water.

A. Renewable sources

B. All energy sources

C. Non-renewable sources

Dear guests, I’d like to talk to you today about renewable and non-renewable energy.

Fossil fuels are nom-renewable energy sources. They include oil, coal, and natural gas. They can be used to create energy, generate electricity or drive big machinery. Unfortunately, they are harmful to the environment. Viet Nam still relies mostly on non-renewable energy sources, however, hydro power is increasingly used here too.

Hydro and nuclear power can generate a great deal of energy. They are renewable and plentiful. However, hydro power is limited because dams cannot be built in certain areas. Nuclear power can provide enough electricity for the world’s needs, but it is dangerous.

The sun and the wind are other alternative sources of energy. The win turns turbines to make electricity. Solar power can be converted into electricity. It can be used to heat or cool our houses. Although there are some disadvantages, these alternative energy sources can offer abundant amounts of clean, safe electricity. They will be valued more and more in the future in Viet Nam.

1. The Advantages of Clean Energy Sources (Lợi ích của năng lượng sạch)

2. Comparing Different Energy Sources (So sánh các nguồn năng lượng khác nhau)

Choosing the best option for energy can be difficult. Coal power is the most popular form of energy today because coal plants aren't expensive to build. However, they can produce a lot of pollution. Other non-renewable energy sources, like natural gas, are cleaner than coal, but they still aren't good for the environment.

Countries are now moving to renewable sources of energy like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power.

Wind and solar power plants are clean and cheap to run, but they aren't cheap to build. Also, wind turbines are noisy and need windy weather to work well, and solar power doesn't work at night. Hydroelectric plants also don't cause pollution, but they can be expensive to build and affect the environment by stopping fish from moving freely. For these reasons, countries and cities usually choose a mix of energy types.
