 /Разыгрывается сценка  «На отдыхе»/

    Входит мальчик (Р1). В руках у него магнитофон. Звучит громкая музыка. Мальчик вызывающе ведет себя. Он срывает листья с деревьев, ломает ветки, пинает ногой цветы, целится из рогатки в птиц. Выбирает место и разводит костер. К мальчику подходят двое ребят из общества «Друзья планеты» (Р2, Р3). Начинается разговор.

         Р2: Who are you? What are you doing here?

         P1: I'm on my way home from school. It's one of the last days of the term. The weather is so nice that I decided to have a picnic in the grove.

        P3: You left all your rubbish on the ground. There are bits of glass from your bottles of juice.

         P2:  Flowers have been pulled out. Animals are frightened. Trees are broken. The fire is burning. The air is polluted.

         P1: The forest is big. There are lots of places for others to have a rest. I am going to relax and have a good time. It is so noisy and dirty in the city.

IV. (Обсуждается просмотренная ситуация. Учащиеся высказывают свое мнение, спорят, приводят аргументы в защиту своей позиции.)

- What can you say about this situation?(примерные ответы учащихся)

        Р4: The boy wants to relax after a hard working day. But it is impossible to do it in a noisy city, so he decided to camp in the forest.

        P2: But he left the camp-fire burning near a heap of dry leaves, this often causes a forest fire. Have you ever seen a forest destroyed by fire?

         P3: That's an awful thing to see. Campers must always remember to put out their camp-fire and cover the place with earth. It is the duty of every camper to take the greatest care not to start a forest fire.

        P4: I fully agree with you. The forests are in danger. The forests are disappearing fast not only because of fires. Every day we use paper and cardboard made from wood. Every year huge forests are cleared for different uses.

        P5: You are quite right. If we go on like this, before long all the forests on this planet may be destroyed.

           P6: By the way, some medicines come from trees and from plants and flowers which grow in the forest. Every one of us must know how important it is to care for our great forests and save them from harm.

 - Do people pollute the environment only?

1.  No, they don’t. We live among litter and wastes which we have created ourselves – fumes of cars, throw away packaging.

2. People don’t just pollute the environment. We pollute ourselves. People pollute themselves with cigarettes, alcohol and junk food

 But now we are going to read and talk about rubbish problem.

6. Развитие лексико-грамматических навыков чтения и говорения. (Слайд № 12)

Read the text.

LITTER IS A PROBLEM IN OUR TOWN.

            Litter is garbage - like food, paper and cans - on the ground or in the street. Where many people live together, litter is a problem. People don't always put their garbage in the garbage can. It's easier to drop a paper than to find a garbage can for it. But litter is ugly. It makes the city look dirty, and it spoils the view.

            The wind blows papers far away. Often they are difficult to catch. When they blow against a building, they stay there. This building is a wall of garbage.

            Many countries have recycling centres in many places, but there isn’t any recycling centre in our town. And we have to throw our litter away. So we are litterbugs.

            Some people want to control litter. They never throw litter themselves, and sometimes they work together in groups to clean up the city especially in the summer. In most countries litter is against the law. I think the law must punish (наказывает) people who throw garbage on the streets in our town. But they don’t even pay a fine for that.

I. Ask and answer the questions

            Model:  Litter is a problem in our cities.

                        First student: Is litter a problem in our cities?

                        Second student: Yes, it is. /No, it isn’t.

                        The people usually pay a fine.

                        F. s.  Do they pay a fine?

                        S. s.  Yes, they do. / No, they don’t.

 - What is recycling? (примерные ответы учащихся)

1. Recycling is when we make new products out of used products. For example, after you use a bottle, you should bring it to a recycling centre. Then the glass from the bottle is used to make new glass products.

4.  When we recycle we help our environment.

- What do you mean?
