A man-made famine

(AN INTERMEDIATE LISTENING LESSON)

Right now in Southern Madagascar, people are suffering from a terrible famine. The thing is, this famine is entirely man-made, coming as a result of climate change.

In this week’s listening lesson, we will be learning about the situation. The lesson is based on an ABC News (USA) story, David Muir reports on southern Madagascar on the brink of climate-induced famine

I hope you learn something new in this lesson. If you are like me, it will also make you think about our impact on the climate, which is already causing so much suffering.

See you in the classroom,
