Pupil 1: They kill animals because they consider them dangerous.

Pupil 2: They kill animals for fur and trunks to make clothes and ornaments.

Pupil 1: Just for sport.

Pupil 2: For medicine.

Teacher: Will you tell us about the animals who are in danger today? (Выступления учащихся, проверка д/з)

ABOUT RHINOS.

     I found out about the dangers rhinos face through a nature documentary on TV. Rhinos live in eastern and southern Africa. They weigh from three to five tones and can reach a speed of around 45 kilometers per hour. Although it is illegal, hunters kill them for their horns, which are very valuable.

     Now they are in danger of becoming extinct. I think that rhinos should be bred in captivity until they can live safely in the wild, and people must stop buying products made from rhino.

GREEN-CHEEKED PARROTS.

     I first learnt about green-cheeked parrots at school. They are usually found in Mexico and are really good at coping people’s voices. In the last twenty years, many have been smuggled across the border to the USA, to be sold as pets. People value them as pets because they are attractive and have amusing personalities. Green-cheeked parrots are difficult to breed, so the species is slowly dying out. In my opinion, people should only buy parrots which have been bred in captivity. Then the green-cheeked parrot could be left in the wild, where it would have a better chance of survival.

FRESHWATER TURTLES.

       Here at WWF, we’re trying to save this species of turtle, which is the largest freshwater turtle in North America. In fact, it is facing extinction because it’s killed for its meat. Snapping-turtle meat is often used in soups or sold in restaurants. Alligator snapping turtles only breed once a year. We believe that if people stopped buying these turtles as pets and stopped eating snapping-turtle soup, the turtles would have a chance to breed and survive.

4.  Работа с текстом: “ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION”.

                                ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

     The poisoning of the world’s land, air and water is one of the most important problems of our civilization. The seas are in danger. Many companies dump chemical and nuclear waste into water. The Mediterranean is already nearly dead; the North Sea is following. The Aral Sea is on the brink of extinction. Half of the lakes in the world are polluted. If nothing is done about it, one day nothing will be able to live in the seas.

     Air pollution is also a very serious problem. Because many factories release sulfates into the air. When the sulfates mix with the clouds, acid rains fall and harm all living creatures. In Cairo just to breathe the air is like smoking two packs of cigarettes a day. Mexico City and 600 cities of Russia have dirty air. This causes different diseases. Because of different kinds of pollution every ten minutes one kind of animal, plant or insect dies out forever.

     People begin to realize that environmental problems are our problem. These are a lot of international green organizations that take care of the environment and “Green Peace” is one of the most active. Many governments are waking up and making strict laws against pollution. Scientists are trying to make factories and plants cleaner. In many countries there are big plans to clean up the water. And every person must do his best to help our planet survive.

6. Teacher: What do we need to do to keep our planet clean?

Pupil 1: We need to save our water, to keep it clean and healthy so people, plants and animals will always have some to drink. It’s very important for us to stop making acid rain. Everyone can help keep our air clean and safe. Everybody can help stop greenhouse effect by using less energy, protecting and planting trees.

Pupil 2: Scientists are very concerned about the ozone layer, because a lot of it has gone away in just a few years. So it’s very important that we learn to do something about it. We can all help to stop the ozone layer from disappearing!
