Hello. I'm
0:15
Margot Politis. Welcome to Study English, IELTS preparation.
0:19
Today we have an environmental theme on Study English, but it's an environmental story with
0:25
a difference.
0:26
We find out about a new toilet system that has been developed to save the local environment
0:32
in a Tasmanian park.
0:34
We're going to be looking at how to talk about processes, so listen carefully to David Holman
0:39
talk about his new environmentally friendly toilet.
0:44
The liquid waste comes from the toilet behind me. There's a containment vessel for the solids.
0:46
From the bottom of the solids you drain off the liquid and it comes down here down this
0:51
pipe.
0:51
OK. The pipe tips into this tipping bucket arrangement and what this does is it fills
0:58
up to a point, and then it suddenly tips and that will measure each time it tips. So we
1:03
can calculate the amount of liquid effluent that's gone in.
1:06
As that fills up, you can see the towelling material here will come in contact with the
1:12
effluent, the air is drawn in through these holes and will actually direct the air in
1:17
onto the surface of the water, through the wick and out through the top.
1:21
OK, so David was talking about how his toilet, the Enviro-Loo, works.
1:28
He was describing a process. Today we're going to look at the type of language you'll need
1:33
to describe processes.
1:36
We'll listen to David again. This time, listen out for the types of verbs he uses.
