ALTERNATIVE ENERGY THEME 8

7 A. Below is the second part of the dialogue in Part 5 D. Read and discuss whether the
council members are supportive or critical of the solutions offered in the first part.

Joe Wilkins Ladies and gentlemen, I have to say that we are giving a prompt reaction. A
complaint from one person doesn't
necessarily mean that there is air
pollution there.
Lilly North I'm sorry to tell that the woman
may be mistaken. Mr. Wilkins could
be right at this point.
Tim Hogan Perhaps, it could be better if we
talk to some other residents. If there
are others to complain about the
same problem, we can handle the
situation again.
The Mayor Thank you very much for
your contributions, everyone.
We must handle the problem
through scientific methods. We can
talk to other residents and send experts at the same time.
