3 Listen to the conversation in Activity 5, paying attention to the stress patterns of the polysyllabic words and repeat them.

A: I'm concerned about the African elephants. What do you know about them?

B: Well, I know that they're being hunted and their habitat is getting smaller, so they're in danger of extinction. Elephants need large living spaces, so it's difficult for them to adapt to the changes.

A: That's terrible. What measures are being taken to help them?

B: The authorities are under pressure to build elephant parks and tell people not to buy elephant products.
