Listen A Minute: English Listening Lesson on Rubbish

Rubbish is everywhere these days. I’m fed up with it. Every

time I walk down the street, I’m almost falling over it. I don’t know
why people can’t throw their rubbish away properly. They are lazy
and have no respect for others. They don’t seem to care about the
environment either. It’s the same in every country. There’s litter in
the streets, even though there are rubbish bins everywhere. Rivers
are full of plastic bags and bottles. This makes a beautiful place look
ugly. And the countryside is full of rubbish. People even throw their
TVs and fridges into fields, or anywhere they think people won’t see
them. Where I live now, people throw rubbish in the street outside
their house. They think other people will pick it up.
