Tapestry Listening & Speaking 2 CNN® Video ... - Heinle & Heinle

REPORTER: THE ADVICE FROM THESE TEENAGERS? FIRST OF ALL, THEY SAY REMOVING
VIOLENCE FROM THE MEDIA WON'T REALLY MAKE KIDS LESS VIOLENT.
INTERVIEWEE #2: I DON'T THINK JUST SEEING, LIKE, A GANGSTER RAPPER OR
ANYTHING, I DON'T THINK THAT'S GONNA, YOU KNOW, MAKE YOU WANT TO GO OUT AND
KILL PEOPLE.
REPORTER: INSTEAD, THEY SAY MORE COMMUNITIES SHOULD HAVE TEEN CENTERS LIKE
THIS ONE NEAR ATLANTA.
INTERVIEWEE #3: I JUST GOT BACK FROM LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AND AT THE TIME,
I WAS IN A GANG. I WAS RUNNING WITH SOME WRONG PEOPLE AND EVERYTHING. AND
THEN I COME OUT HERE TO GEORGIA. I FOUND A PLACE WHERE I CAN GO, AND THERE'S
NOT THAT MUCH VIOLENCE OR ANYTHING.
REPORTER: THE RULES OF THE CENTER ARE SIMPLE: YOU GET INTO A FIGHT, THEY KICK
YOU OUT. KIDS COME FOR THE GAMES. BUT MOSTLY, THEY JUST COME TO TALK.
TEEN CENTER COUNSELOR: THAT'S WHY I'M UP HERE. I'M, LIKE, A C.O.A. COUNSELOR
FOR CHILDREN OF ALCOHOLICS, AND I HELP CHILDREN WITH PROBLEMS THAT I HAD
PROBLEMS. AND SO I, LIKE, WANNA BRING MY HELP ON OTHER PEOPLE.
REPORTER: KIDS CAN'T CONTROL WHAT'S ON TELEVISION OR WHAT THEIR PARENTS DO,
BUT THEY CAN LOOK FOR HELP IN SAFE PLACES. ELIZABETH COHEN, CNN, ATLANTA.

SURVIVAL.
COMMENTATOR TRANSLATING FOR SILVERIA DESOUZA: MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE EIGHT
CHILDREN, SAYS SILVERIA DeSUZA. WE HAVE TO CLEAR THE JUNGLE TO PLANT CROPS.
REPORTER: EVEN WITH HUNDREDS OF INSPECTORS MONITORING THE AMAZON, IT IS AN
AREA SO VAST, IT'S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL DEFORESTATION BY FORCE. SO
THE GOVERNMENT IS TRYING A DIFFERENT TACTIC.
GUIDE: WHAT WE HAVE HERE MOSTLY IS WHAT WE CALL SECONDARY FOREST, FLOODED
FOREST. ECOTOURISM, SPENDING MILLIONS TO DEVELOP TOURISM CENTERED ON NATURE.
TRANSLATOR FOR INTERVIEWEE: PEOPLE CAN MAKE MONEY FROM THE RAIN FOREST
WITHOUT DESTROYING IT. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF SHOWING THEM HOW.
REPORTER: DEEP IN THE RAIN FOREST IN THE STATE OF AMAZONAS, THE JUNGLE IS
ALREADY ATTRACTING TOURISTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD.
TOURIST: IT'S ALL SO PURE. IT'S SO ABSOLUTELY UNSPOILED. AND I THINK IT'S
AWESOME.
REPORTER: TOURISTS HIRE LOCAL GUIDES TO LEARN ABOUT THE RAIN FOREST AND TO
JOURNEY UP RIVER, WHERE THEY VISIT REMOTE VILLAGES AND BUY HANDICRAFTS MADE
BY THOSE WHO LIVE HERE. THEY STAY AT HOTELS THAT RANGE FROM LUXURIOUS TO
