First of all, what kind of environmental problems can you name? Let`s write them making a mind map.

3. Speaking.

Game “Magic Box” – choose from the box one of the problem question and answer on it.

Now, before you start working on your own survey, let`s check how well do you know the rules of 1 and 2 Conditionals. Do this exercise in your copybooks. And who would like to go to the blackboard?

5. Group project work. Students divide on groups by 4-6 p.

Choose one of the issue that we`ve mentioned today. Surf the net, look up in an encyclopedia to get as much information as you can about that problem.

Organize that information in four parts:

• Definition or explanation of that issue
• Consequences or effect on our planet
• One notorious example you may find
• Strategies to fight back or improve the present situation.

Don`t forget to use at least one Conditional structure in your answers.
