Produce energy
generate energy
sản xuất năng lượng
Many domestic solar energy systems don’t PRODUCE/GENERATE enough energy to meet all our needs
use energy
consume energy
sử dụng năng lượng
Statistics show that the majority of energy USED/CONSUMED in UK households is for heating
need energy
require energy
cần sử dụng năng lượng
Large screen TVS NEED/REQUIRE far more energy than older models
save energy
conserve energy
tiết kiệm năng lượng
provide energy
supply energy
cung cấp năng lượng
People say a solar energy plant on the moon would be capable of providing/supplying all our energy needs.
capture energy
harness energy
khai thác năng lượng
Turbines are used to capture/harness the energy from the wind
sustainable way
bễn vững
causing little or no damage to the environment and therefore able to continue for a long time:
A large international meeting was held with the aim of promoting sustainable development in all countries.
exhaust
to use something completely
cạn kiệt
Many experts concerned that if we continue to use petrol at the current rate, we will EXHAUST our natural reserves within the next 50 years
** natural reserves = nguồn dự trử tài nguyên
unleaded
xăng ko chì
(of petrol / gas) not containing LEAD and therefore less harmful to the environment
Unleaded is cheaper than diesel.
*** LEAD = có chứa chì
curb
to control or limit sth
kiềm chế
We need to curb our use of fossil fuels
Chúng ta cần hạn chế sử dụng nhiên liệu hóa thạch
alternative
a different option
hydro
thủy điện
Renewable
Fuel resources that won’t run out are renewable
Resources
always plural
tài nguyên
Oil, gas and coal are natural resources used to produce energy.
***Source is used refer to the place something comes from:
Books should still be seen as a good source of information.
Consumption
our levels of petrol consumption are not sustainable
mức tiêu thụ xăng của chúng ta không bền vững
efficient
có hiệu quả
**dùng cho natural resources
Effective = hiệu quả (in general)
Diesel cars are more efficient than petrol ones because they use less fuel per kilometres
fumes
= emissions (toxic gases from cars which aren’t good to breath in)
= smokes (is produced when there is a fire)
Rechargeable
A battery that can be reused
Discard
bỏ đi
