On April 30, 2018 the Pu’u ‘O’o crater on Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano, suddenly collapsed. It was
the starting point for the volcano’s months long eruption, which went on to produce 320,000
Olympic-sized swimming pools’ worth of lava that transformed the landscape and ultimately destroyed 700 homes.

volcano. Some eruptions are terrible explosions that throw out huge amounts of rock and volcanic
ash and can kill many people. Some are quiet outflows of hot lava. Several more complex types
of volcanic eruptions have been described by volcanologists. These are often named after famous
volcanoes where that type of eruption has been seen. Some volcanoes may show only one type
of eruption during a period of activity, while others may show a range of types in a series.

ANSWER KEY I. LISTENING 1. low-quality 2. water 3. Toxic substances 4. clothes 5. warn Script:
“Fast fashion” – the term used for the mass production of cheap and low-quality clothes. These
products can hit the stores only weeks after new trends emerge. This is bad for the environment
because clothes productions require tons of water and energy. Making these clothes also creates
toxic substances, most of which are released into rivers causing water pollution. With the rise of
online shopping, fast fashion leads to unhealthy shopping habits. Customers often buy more
clothes, which are worn fewer times because of poor quality. Many clothes get thrown away as
soon as a new trend comes along. Every year, tons of fabric waste end up in landfills. Experts
warn against buying from brands who use this strategy as the fashion industry is on track to
increase its global emissions by 50% in the near future. II. READING TASK 1
