- Exercise 25. Read the following dialogue, sum up the information and act out a similar dialogue.
| Exercise 24. Ask questions and use the words in italics in your answers. The
words in brackets will help you. 1. Internationally, chemicals and plastics companies have adopted indus- trial biotechnologies to replace hazardous and energy-demanding synthesis pro- cesses with enzyme-based processes (what, what for, what kind of). 2. Indus- trial biotechnologies can assist industry to reduce water usage and increase water reuse and recycling through water treatment technologies (what, what to do, how). 3. Most people are unaware of the fact that industrial biotechnological applications are already used in a broad range of everyday activities (who, what, where, what kind of). 4. They are used to reduce time to bake bread, to save heat in laundry washing, textile making, to increase the yield in wine, cheese and vegetable oil production (where, what for). 5. Industrial biotechnology can be used to create new products, to modify and develop new industrial processes (what, what for). Exercise 25. Read the following dialogue, sum up the information and act out a similar dialogue. A.: Look here, Alex! I’ve just read about the growth of economies of countries in Asia-Pacific region. Impressive figures! Just only China is projected an- nual 6.5% growth to 2030! B.: Fantastic! I guess the first challenge facing China is to make the best use of the country energy resources. A.: Actually it regards not only China, it’s a global concern! The climate cri- sis is out of control. Moreover, by 2050 the global human population will have reached 9 billion. B.: It means that what we really need is a shift in focus. It requires exploring alternative systems and technologies! A.: New technologies? It seems to me, first of all, biotechnologies. B.: Yes, right you are! A.: Do you happen to know any industrial biotechnologies? B.: A lot of them! For example, biocatalyst, bioprocessing of materials and processes. A.: To my mind, it’s vital nowadays to replace industrial chemical catalysts by biocatalysts using biologically derived enzymes. 266 B.: I fully agree with you. But I’d like to add that bioprocessing, for example, organic synthesis of pharmaceuticals and microbial desulfurization of die- sel fuels are of great importance at the moment as well. A.: No doubt! There is great potential in ‘white’ biotechnology! B.: What drives international adaptation of biotechnology? A.: First of all, environmental standards, economic drivers such as water, en- ergy saving, consumer demand for natural products and improved quality. B.: Which sectors can benefit from the fast uptake of industrial biotechnology? A.: For example, such sectors as chemicals and plastics, textiles and leath- er, waste treatment, biotreatment of waste water and food processing, to name a few! B.: OK! I see! Thanks a lot for your comments! Bye! A.: You are welcome! See you soon! жүктеу/скачать 4,38 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
