M: Good afternoon and welcome to our TV program “Good Home”. My guest today is Susan Brown, a college professor who specializes in children’s safety at home.
W: Hello!
M: Susan! I thought that the home is the safest place for children to be!
W: Well, yes. It should be. But there are unexpected dangers we all need to know!
M: Dangers? At home?
W: Yes! Most of time, we think things at home are safe, but safety is perhaps the most important life skill that children need to learn from an early age.
M: Oh, really? I’ve never thought of t hat.
W: Yes. Most accidents at home such as broken bones, cuts, burns and bites mainly happen in the kitchen, living room, on the stairs and even in the bedroom. And our study shows the chance of getting broken bones is the highest among home accidents.

Good evening, thank you all for coming here to learn about our school’s recycling program.
The recycling is planned as a three-part program: searching, collecting and carrying. The first part, searching, is the hardest one. Most people don’t like to take the time to separate rubbish and this is why most recycling programs usually fail. However, we believe that our program will work.
From now on, instead of seeing the usual black rubbish cans all over the school, you will see three different colored rubbish cans. Pink cans are for paper, blue cans are for bottles, and white cans are for all the other waste. After the rubbish is collected, it needs to be sorted and then taken to the recycling center.
Since this recycling program is still a volunteer program, we ask for no more than 5 hours per person in each week. Your job will be to collect all sorts of rubbish and take it to different centers.
If you would like to help, please leave me your name and telephone number and we’ll meet here on the 15th September right after school. Hope to see you then!
