they should behave. Of course, the law bans from all kinds of behaviour

LOCAL NEWS IN BRIEF
Thresham Valley under water?
Plans to turn much of the Thresham Valley into a large (1) puddle / reservoir to provide
drinking water for the local area have received mixed reactions. Local councillors have praised
the scheme, arguing that the environmental I and economic benefits of (2) flooding /

pouring the valley will far outweigh the disadvantages. Several small (3) rural /
urban communities - two villages, three hamlets and two farms – in the valley will disappear,
however.
Lucky escape for farmer
A farmer was struck by (4) lightning / thunder on Thursday evening, while mending a fence in
one of his (5) plains / fields. The farmer, Jack Dobson, received treatment for slight burns at
Meldew Hospital. Talking about the incident later, he said: 'It was (6) drizzling /
showering slightly when I went out, but I'd checked the weather (7) prediction / forecast and
it hadn't said there was going to be a thunderstorm. It was lucky I was wearing my Wellington
boots!'
Save bags and save money
Shoppers at a local supermarket are being urged notto throw away the supermarket's plastic
shopping bags. Aspokesperson for Asdo said: 'For every new bag we make, the factory has to
pump out industrial (8) waste / litter and that's increasing pollution in the (9) suburban /
surrounding area. We want to reduce the number of bags we make each year. We're offering a
financial incentive to our customers to (10) reuse / repeat their bags by bringing them with
them every time J they shop with us rather than getting new ones each time.'
An academic from Davington University has caused controversy by claiming that (11) global /
worldwide warming is not caused by human disregard for the (12) weather / environment. In her
new book entitled Are We to Blame?, Professor Angela Lucini argues that large-scale changes in
the Mediterranean (13) land / climate, for example, have taken place ever since the world was
formed. 'People weren't responsible for the Ice Ages, or their coming to an end, I and we certainly
weren't responsible for the fact the dinosaurs became (14) extinct / endangered so it's a bit
presumptuous of us to think we're responsible for all the problems we’re facing now, isn't it?' she
said.
Councillor calls for an end to the fireplace
Local councillor Davina Forrest is calling for a ban on the use of coal fires at home. 'There's no
doubt that if domestic chimneys stopped pumping out (15) smoke / fog into the atmosphere, the
(16) air / wind we'd all be breathing would be much (17) cleaner / clearer,' she said.

Several small (3) rural / urban communities - two villages, three hamlets and two farms – in the valley will disappear, however. Lucky escape for farmer A farmer was struck by (4) lightning / thunder on Thursday evening, while mending a fence in one of his (5) plains / fields. The farmer, Jack Dobson, received treatment for slight burns at Meldew Hospital. Talking about the incident later, he said: 'It was (6) drizzling / showering slightly when I went out, but I'd checked the weather (7) prediction / forecast and it hadn't said there was going to be a thunderstorm. It was lucky I was wearing my Wellington boots!' Save bags and save money Shoppers at a local supermarket are being urged notto throw away the supermarket's plastic shopping bags. Aspokesperson for Asdo said: 'For every new bag we make, the factory has to pump out industrial (8) waste / litter and that's increasing pollution in the (9) suburban / surrounding area. We want to reduce the number of bags we make each year. We're offering a financial incentive to our customers to (10) reuse / repeat their bags by bringing them with them every time J they shop with us rather than getting new ones each time.' An academic from Davington University has caused controversy by claiming that (11) global / worldwide warming is not caused by human disregard for the (12) weather / environment. In her new book entitled Are We to Blame?, Professor Angela Lucini argues that large-scale changes in the Mediterranean (13) land / climate, for example, have taken place ever since the world was formed. 'People weren't responsible for the Ice Ages, or their coming to an end, I and we certainly weren't responsible for the fact the dinosaurs became (14) extinct / endangered so it's a bit presumptuous of us to think we're responsible for all the problems we’re facing now, isn't it?' she said. Councillor calls for an end to the fireplace Local councillor Davina Forrest is calling for a ban on the use of coal fires at home. 'There's no doubt that if domestic chimneys stopped pumping out (15) smoke / fog into the atmosphere, the (16) air / wind we'd all be breathing would be much (17) cleaner / clearer,' she said.
