❶ In the debate over GMOs—genetically modified organisms— it can be difficult to separate facts from misinformation. Are these crops unsafe? Or should we put our fears to rest and head for a GMO buffet?
❷ GMOs are plants and animals that scientists alter in a laboratory by inserting genes from other organisms in order to make crops and livestock that are larger, stay fresh longer or are more nutritious.

❸ GMOs first appeared in our food nearly two decades ago, yet the debate on their safety continues. How many times do we have to debate this? The vast majority of scientists now believe that GM foods are safe. In 2016, the
National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine published a report claiming that it found no solid evidence that foods from GMOs were less safe than foods from non-GMOs.

SpeakingSpeaking skill: Concluding a presentation
A good presentation conclusion helps the audience remember the main ideas and intentions of the speaker. Here are some effective ways to end a presentation:
• Summarize main points briefly. Simplify them so that they are easy to remember. Avoid repeating everything word for word.
• Give a call to action encouraging the audience to do something, e.g. Let’s all support Unplug Day and enjoy quality time with family and friends without using technology.
• Use transitions such as In conclusion, To sum up, In closing, To conclude, Finally, As a result and Therefore to show that you are about to end your presentation.
• Finish with a creative and/or humorous punchline. Use anagrams, acronyms, jokes or quotes to leave a lasting impression.
Speaking task Your teacher has asked you to create a promotional video about what you would invent if you could invent anything. Put your ideas in the flow chart and use it to record your promotional video.

SpeakingSpeaking skill: Using appropriate intonation
• Intonation refers to the rise and fall of our voice in speaking. It is important to use appropriate intonation to let people understand what we say.
• For Wh-questions, our intonation should drop on the last word. For Yes/No questions, our intonation rises at the end of the questions, e.g.
Where is the nearest MTR station?
Do you like travelling by bus?
• For statements, our intonation drops on the last word, e.g.
The nearest MTR station is Kennedy Town.
Speaking task Your friends from overseas want to know where they should visit in Hong Kong. Make a video to suggest some places that they should visit.
I love dim sum. This time I want to try some photogenic items like custard buns in piggy shapes. Can you suggest a few contemporary dim sum restaurants for me?
I’m interested in learning more about local history. I heard that there are still some traditional walled villages in Hong Kong. Is that true? Where can I find them?
I need to buy a tablet and maybe a pair of headphones. Is it trustworthy to buy these gadgets at the Apliu Street Flea Market? What should I pay attention to if I shop there?
I enjoy hiking and taking photos of the natural landscape. I’m not a pro though. Which hiking trail would you recommend?
