ПЛАН УРОКА

1. Организационный момент

Учащиеся сидят за столами. Психологическая подготовка участников (учитель должен настроить учащихся на то, что нельзя относиться пассивно к уроку, нарушать регламент и этику поведения). Слова учителя: Ladies and gentlemen! I’m glad to meet you at our meeting.

2. Фонетическая зарядка. In Britain you can often come across these international signs (Show the tables). Have you seen any of these signs? What do they mean? Match the sign, its meaning and Russian equivalent.

3. Do you know the difference between garbage and litter; can and tin?

Garbage and litter they are the same. But garbage it’s AE, and litter is BE. For Russian people it’s мусор. A can and a tin (консервная банка) they are also the same. But a can it’s AE and tin it’s BE.

4. British and American children learn a lot about the environment at school. All of them remember the three R’s: reduce, reuse, and recycle.

        Recycling can bring you extra money. It’s quite simple for anyone who thinks about nature. But it’s also very expensive, for example recycling old cars.

         Recycling is the process of sorting and reusing waste products. It is often used in industry. Recycling is very economical. In many cities people think positively about sorting and reusing paper, plastic bottles and other waste products. In many towns and villages, special bins are placed in the streets, in which people can put all those things such as: empty cans, paper and so on, which we used to throw away. Now we all think about helping the Earth by recycling.

        You can see different things. What can we reduce? Reuse? Recycle?

• electricity (a lamp)
• glass bottles
• newspapers
• paper
• water (using water)
• cartons
• plastic bottles
• plastic containers
• cans/ tins

5. Do you know this holiday the 22nd of April? It’s the Earth Day when people demonstrate their concern for a better environment. It was first held in 1970.

There are over 300 nature centers in British cities. There are a lot of environment groups:

FRIENDS OF THE EARTH

GREENPEACE

THE WORLD WILDLIFE FUND

These groups are specially organized to help nature. Now we listen to about these organizations.

GREENPEACE is an international environmental pressure group started in the 1960s in Canada. It has a policy of non-violent direct actions. GREENPEACE message is “When the last tree is cut down and the last fish killed, the last river poisoned, then you will see that you can’t eat money!”

FRIENDS OF THE EARTH (the FOE) (Друзья земли) is an environmental pressure group. It was founded in the UK in 1971. The aim of the group is to protect the environment. The main concerns are air, sea, river, and land pollution; recycling. Friends of the Earth has branches in 30 countries.

THE WORLD WILDLIFE FUND (WWF) (Всемирный фонд природы) is an international organization founded in 1961 to raise fund for conservation. This project includes protection of particular species, for example, the tiger and giant panda.

6. The National Park is an organization that was set up in 1916. It also protects areas of great natural beauty or of historic interest so that everyone can enjoy them.

America was the first country in starting up “National Parks”, beginning with Yellowstone in 1872. Now it is the largest US national park in the Rocky Mountains which contains more than 3,000 geysers and hot springs (источников). But now a dozen other parks cover a small fragment of the whole area of Western mountains.

The USA is larger country than Britain, that’s why it has more regions to protect. The Great Canyon, the Great Smoky Mountains, Yellowstone Park, the Everglades in Florida are the most popular national parks in the USA.

Now we listen to about these parks.

The Great Canyon. Гранд- Каньон. The Colorado River carved (прорезала) this deep gorge (ущелье) in the Earth’s Surface. The canyon crossed a desert in Arizona. The Canyon is about 350 km long. It was made a national park in 1919. It is up to 20 km across and 2 km deep. This is one of the deepest gorges on the land.

The Everglades is one of the most interesting places. Some time ago hunters killed alligators for their skin and birds for their meat there. That was awful. If you visit the Everglades now, you can see a moving log. It’s probably an alligator. Be careful. It can be dangerous. The Everglades is protected as a national park. Its unique ecology – home to water birds, snakes, alligators, wildcats, fish, cypress trees – is enjoyed by naturalists and tourists.

7. Long before 1872 William Wordsworth the great English poet, suggested that his native Lake District should become a special place. But only in 1949 the first national park in England and Wales was founded. Now there are ten national parks in England and Wales which cover 9% of the land area. 90 million visitors come to national parks every year.

The Lake District an area of lakes and mountains in the northwest of England is the largest national park. It is popular with walkers, cyclists and people who go boating. It is one of the most beautiful and attractive places. It has Windermere the longest lake in England, and Scafell, the highest mountain in England.

The Lake District was unknown until the end of the 18th century. Then the works of such writers as Wordsworth and Coleridge attracted visitors to the lakes. Now the Lake District is one of the most popular tourist places in Britain. It is a place where you can enjoy fishing in the rivers and lakes or boating on the quiet waters of Lakeland.

8. In Russia there are 23 national parks and 84 nature reserves. The first nature reserve BARGUZINSKY was opened on the 29th of December in 1916. It is famous by its sables. It has 2,480 square km. The Lake Baikal is the unique place.

Nature reserve is an area in which rare animals and plants are protected from being damaged by people, e.g. by limiting the movement of people through the area. The world’s largest is Etosha Reserve, Namibia. It’s area 99,520 sq km.

In the north-east of Moscow there is Losiny Ostrov. This national park is for 48 kinds of animals: deer, foxes; 200 kinds of birds. It was opened in 1983.

Valday is situated in Novgorodskaya region. This national park is for bears, wolves, foxes, otters. Its lakes are Valday, Seliger.

9. We are in charge of the Planet.

Eight big cats are killed to make one fur coat.

Hunters kill about 3 million kangaroos every year.

Over 40 thousand monkeys are caught every day.

Water pollution kills about 300 dolphins every day.

A lot of dolphins are hurt by boats.

About 30 sea turtles are caught into nets every year.

11. Land, air and water are important for flowers, trees, animals, birds, fish and people. We should think much about helping the Earth. In Britain there are a lot of people who think about the future of the planet. Some people take care of animals, others take care of birds, and others are in charge of forests.
