Nội dung bài nghe

Julie: Welcome back to Material world. Now, today we won't be talking about the latest electronic equipment, multi-functional gadgets, smart fabrics, automatic cars or even solar cars. Instead, we'll be looking at very special ecological shoes. These could help children in the developing world, in addition to helping the environment. Let's find out more with our consumer correspondent, Murray Roberts.

Murray: Hello, Julie.

Julie: Hello, Murray. Tell us a little about the problem first.

Murray: Well, it's a sad fact that there are millions of children in the world who don't have shoes. And there are lots of children who do have them but still have problems. That's because the shoes are second-hand, and too big or too small for their feet.

Julie: But you have found a solution, haven't you?

Murray: Yes. Inventor Kenton Lee is the director of a company that produces shoes that can increase or decrease in size.

Julie: That sounds a bit hi-tech, doesn't it? How does it work?

Murray: It's not hi-tech at all really. You don't always need digital technology to solve a problem. It works by making simple changes to the shoe. If you change the position of the front and side parts, they will either get bigger or smaller.

Julie: So, children can use them for several years as their feet grow, can't they?

Murray: Yes, for up to five years.

Julie: But how's that possible? One shoe won't fit everyone, will it?

Murray: The shoes have two sizes. Small is for children between five and ten years of age. Large is for older children between ten and fifteen.

Julie: That's really useful, isn't it? These kids can probably do a lot more in their lives than they could before... go to school, play, that kind of thing.

Murray: Yes, exactly!

Julie: Can the kids use them for running around as well? I mean, are they practical?

Murray: Yes. Well, they aren't waterproof, but children can use them to walk, run, play ... whatever they want.

Julie: At the moment, people are wearing them in Ecuador, Haiti, Ghana and Kenya, aren't they?

Murray: Yes, that's right. And the company is planning to get them to many more countries, too.

Julie: Murray, thank you very much. Now on to our next story, about clothes made from recycled and natural materials, which you can...
