Exercise 35. You are going to watch the video “My Green School Dream”, but first read the information about John Hardy and his project.
| After selling his jewelry company in 2007, John Hardy and his wife, Cynthia, endowed a thrilling new project: the Green School in Bali. At the Green School, kids learn in open–air classrooms surrounded by acres of gardens that they tend; they learn to build with bamboo; and meanwhile they're being prepared for traditional British school exams. The school is international –20 percent of students are Bali locals, some on scholarship. The centrepiece of the campus is the spiraling Heart of School, which may be called Asia's largest bamboo building. |
