      Teacher: Good-afternoon, guys. The topic of our lesson is  “We must protect our environment”.

Примерные ответы уч-ся.

P1: Flowers are pulled out.

P2: Litter is left.

P3: The water is polluted.

P4: Fires are started.

P5: Trees are cut down.

P6: Birds and animals are frightened.

P7: The air is polluted.

Teacher: You are right. All these problems are very serious and important. Please look at the drawings which some of our pupils have brought to our lesson (учитель демонстрирует заранее приготовленные творческие работы учащихся).

    Paper comes from trees. If we don’t recycle paper, a lot of trees are destroyed. The countryside is spoiled. People cut down trees. Fires are started. We like flowers very much, but people shouldn’t pick wild flowers. If trees are destroyed and people pick flowers and grass, birds and animals may become extinct. People, don’t harm plants!

   We leave litter near the river. The water is polluted and the fish in the river die. People, help to keep all water clean!

   Many years ago our pond was deep and wide. My friend and I used to fish a lot. Now we like fishing too. But some people use such things for fishing which kill animals. People, protect animals and fish!

  Today different kinds of trees and flowers  are disappearing. Each of us must do everything possible to protect nature. Children, plant trees and flowers!

   There are many animals and birds in our district. We should not make noise. Birds and animals are frightened of it. Children, take care of birds and animals!

   Every spring I see rubbish near our village. I think that  country people do it. They throw away old things, paper, clothes, toys, bottles and plastic bags. Maybe they don’t know the 3R rules: reduce reuse and recycle. It’s a pity! People, take litter home!

Teacher: Guys, I’ve just got a letter from the President of the Clean up  the Countryside Society in our district. He gives us some information and suggests some important rules to protect environment. Listen to him and fill in the answers to the questions. (Работа по карточкам).

people. As a result of our investigations we have found out that the district is polluted.  60% of air pollution is caused by the gas compressing station and by

different means of transport: cars, trucks and buses. Modern lifestyle, in which people do less exercises, use cars instead of walking, watch TV for many hours and work with computers is leading us to catastrophe.

The pollution of the land, air and water is the problem of civilization. It is one of the greatest dangers on the Earth. Ecological problems are deforestation, ozone holes, acid rains and the global warming.

The seas are in danger. They are filled with industrial wastes and pesticides.

Every 10 minutes one kind of animal, plant or insect dies out for ever.

Air pollution is a very serious problem. In Cairo breathing the air is equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes a day.

Plants and factories make the greenhouse effect.
