- Today our experts speak about the ecology of the Earth and others answer the question: “What should we do to save our environment”

3. Выступления экспертов

How to save the environment?

In Russia almost every family has a car. Our factories, cars, trains and planes make the air dirty, so the atmosphere is polluted.

I believe that one day somebody will invent energy that hasn’t fumes. Or

people will use renewable energy, for example solar energy, wind energy or hydro-electric dams. I know that these energies aren’t so powerful, but we can use it sometimes, for example for cookers.

I think that right now we need new energy, because oil and coal are disappearing.

Our world is warmer than it was one hundred years ago. Hot countries may become drier and the people who live there won’t be able to grow enough food. Ice in cold areas is changing to water because of higher temperatures. When this happens, the sea levels become bigger. Some towns near the sea may have a problem soon.

We can help if we stop making the air dirty but we must do something fast!

• We should invent a new energy! Go to the blackboard and write this sentence.

We should care about our environment.

Until recently the planet was a large world in which human activities and the nature were in balance. The people lived in harmony with nature and didn`t pollute it.

But nowadays, environmental problems are the most burning. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the ground where we grow our food, and even the increasing noise we hear every day, that`s all contribute to health problems and a lower quality of life. People cut down trees, destroy the habitats of thousands of animals and contaminate water in rivers and seas. Also, you know, that many rare animals and plants are disappearing, so I think it`s our duty to care and save animals. The problems are so serious nowadays, that they should be solved without delay.

• We must take care of and protect animals and plants. Go to the blackboard and write this sentence.

People are part of nature.

People are the part of nature. As our civilization develops, people become stronger than nature.

But it`s not so simple. People learned to influence our environment. They create different household items, medicines, food… So, they pollute the atmosphere. There are even ozone holes. People are not careful. They burn forests, pollute rivers. But nature doesn`t forgives it: a lot of incurable diseases appeared. There are also typhoons, tsunamis, acid rains.

But I think nature won`t destroy all of us. To my mind, people should think of the future because our planet is in our hands!

• We must think about the future of our planet.Go to the blackboard and write this sentence.

Ecology problems.

Since ancient times Nature has served man, being the source of his life. People lived in harmony with environment and it seemed to them that natural riches were unlimited. But with the development of civilization man’s interference in nature began to increase.

Every year world industry pollutes the atmosphere with about million tons of dust and other things. As a result some rare species of animals, birds, fish and plants disappear forever. Many cities suffer from smog.

The pollution of air and the world’s ocean, destruction of the ozone layer is the result of man’s careless interaction with nature. Environmental protection is of a universal concern. That is why serious measures to create a system of ecological security should be taken.

Some progress has been already made in this direction. Countries - members of the UNO - have set up environmental protection agencies. Numerous conferences have been held by these agencies to discuss problems facing ecologically poor regions including the Aral Sea, the Urals, Kuzbass, Donbass. An international environmental research center has been set up on Lake Baikal. The international organization Greenpeace is also doing much to preserve the environment.

But these are only the initial steps and they must be carried onward to protect nature.

• We should create groups and organizations for the protection of the environment. Go to the blackboard and write this sentence.

-In order to save life on the planet for the future generations people united in the groups. You must remember them. For example: WWF, WNO, Green Peace, Green cross and others.

• Now children you must match the symbol with the names of ecology groups. So children, I propose you to divide our class into two commands. The command of

“Defenders” and the command of “Volunteers”. … I ask you to come up to the blackboard and do this task individually. I think one minute will be enough for you.

WWF,  Greenpeace, Green cross, Russian oxygen, WNO, UICN.

• And now look here please. On this blackboard you can see the correct variant. …

You get one bonus, and you don't get nothing.

4. Аудирование.

-Nowadays people understand how important it is to solve environmental problems. One of them is pollution in its many forms: water pollution, air

pollution, nuclear pollution. Listen to the text “Pollution” and decide which of these statements are true, false or not mentioned in the text.

“Pollution”

When you pollute something, you make it dirty or dangerous. It is dangerous to drink polluted water or breathe polluted air, and if you pollute the ground, nothing will grow in it. Pollution can start in a small way – like using a river for waste. But then, pollution grows and grows, until everybody is in danger…

In 1769 some people built a small town in a beautiful place between the mountains and the sea, and called it Los Angeles. They built houses and farms. They found gold and oil nearby. More people came and built towns and factories. The factories worked twenty-four hours a day making useful things; and the people drove to too. There was more and more smoke and gas from the cars, factories and planes. Then the fog came. Ordinary fog soon goes away; but this fog stayed for a long time. The sun “cooked” the smoke and gases from the factories and cars and made smog

– smoky fog. People had problems with breathing. Everybody felt tired and ill; and some people died. Smog was born in Los Angeles. But today, most factories have their own smog – and the problem is growing.

1. Polluted environment is safe.

2. Pollution usually takes some time to become dangerous.

3. In the 18th century Los Angeles had the population of 200 thousand people.

4. The factories in Los Angeles worked non-stop.

5. Smog appeared in Los Angeles before its airport was built.

6. The people who lived in Los Angeles began to have health problems in 1769.

7. Los Angeles is one of the most badly polluted areas in the world.

8. Итог урока.

• And now children, today we are talking a lot about the environment, about the problems of environmental pollution and what do people do and what must they do to protect nature from further pollution, to keep the earth clean, to keep people healthy.

To save our environment we should:

• Not pollute the planet;

• Care about animals;

• Feed birds in winter;

• Recycle paper, newspaper and metal;

• Invent new energy;

• Organize ecology lessons: bird day, animal’s day.

8. Our lesson is over. Thank  you.
