Conversation (Optional)
F 🎧44 Listen to a conversation between two people from Japan and Scotland.
Rika: I don't think we will use as much non-renewable energy in the next five years, so we'll need lots of solar energy. What about in Scotland? Will you use new types of energy?
Alex: Yes, we will. But we probably won't use a lot of solar energy.
Rika: Will you use wind power?
Alex: Yes, we will. And maybe we'll also use wave energy.

Alex: It's energy from waves in the ocean.
