Ход урока:

Dear boys and girls, I'm very glad to see you. I hope you are fine. So let's begin our quest. The subject of today's discussion is very vivid. Today we are going to discuss the problem of environmental protection. You know that people all over the world are worried about our environment. Today the ecology is very important. Ecology is a science about nature and about relation of man with it. Children do you know what the main environmental problems are? (Students: air pollution, water pollution, acid rain, etc.)

Your mission:

Our planet is on the verge of a global ecological catastrophe. Acid rain, global warming, air and water pollution, destruction of wildlife are the problems that threaten human life on the Earth.  Imagine! You are young scientists and you have to rescue our planet. You have just 40 minutes to do that. You’ll have to give a general idea of the ecological situation on our planet and try to highlight the most dangerous tendencies that have deadly consequences for people. In conclusion, you should find possible ways of solving some of environmental problems and rescue the Earth! For every right done tasks you will get some equipment and very important  key-words, which help you to rescue the Earth!  Are you ready?

1. Dear friends, Welcome to the PHONETIC station. Let’s begin our work with phonetic exercise. There are 2 tongue-twisters here. Please choose one of the the envelopes. Listen to me first of all, then repeat after me and try to pronounce it correctly.

Tasks:

1) How much wood would a woodchuck chuck 
    if a woodchuck could chuck wood? 

 (Сколько древесины смог бы сурок перекидать,

2) How many berries could a bare berry carry, 
    if a bare berry could carry berries? 

    (Сколько ягод можно носить с простая ягодами,

    Если простая ягода может нести ягоды?)

Let’s translate this tongue-twister. Thank you very much! Good job! Now you are real scientists. Please, get your equipment! Please put on your gowns. And also you get the eco-alphabet, it will help you to solve very difficult tasks!

                                                    The problems of climate

      Tornados, sometimes called ‘twisters’, are whirlwinds with speeds of up to 400 km per hour. In the USA there are 1000 tornadoes every year. They look fantastic and dramatic when we are watching them on TV, but they can kill. Tornados are only one sign of the world’s climate changes. There are more floods in some parts of the world, and there’s much less rain in others.

       We know that these things happen because global temperatures are rising

 and many people believe that weather will get worse in the future. The problem of climate is very big. Cutting down trees, burning too much oil, a lot of cars and planes are some of the things that cause the problems. Global warming (потепление) will change the world’s climate.

       Many scientists (учёные) try to solve these problems.

Mark the statements true / false / not stated.
