2. Уведення в іншомовну атмосферу.

 

Listen to the lyrics of the song and say what problem it is devoted to.

IT’S A DIFFERENT WORLD TODAY

Different kinds of people telling me the snow is white,

In former days the grass was green, the sun was really bright.

You have to fight for freedom, that’s OK.

It’s a different world,

It’s a different world,

It’s a different world today!

Nowadays they drive a car

at eighty miles an hour

Years ago there wasn’t all that traffic,

so much power.

There must be some improvement anyway It’s a different world,

It’s a different world,

It’s a different world today!

Don’t look back, the world has got a lot in store. Wait and see

people always want to have more, more, more. With all the ups and downs along the way It’s a different world,

It’s a different world,

It’s a different world today!

Now that I am a woman

I see the children grow

And deep inside I wish

I was so little, but I know

You cannot turn back the pages, so they say:

It’s a different world,

It’s a different world,

It’s a different world today!

(Karen and Alice Maywood)

 

ІІ. ОСНОВНА ЧАСТИНА УРОКУ

 

Тестування «Do you worry about the Environment?»

T. What is your relationship to the environment? Are you disturbed the nature’s state? Look at this test and choose the clearest answer for the question.

 

1.                Imagine you are on holiday abroad. You eat chocolate-covered sweets but there are no any rubbish bins to put their wrappers in. What do you do?

1.                Keep the wrappers in your pocket until you see a bin.
2.                Throw them on the ground. It’s not your fault there aren’t enough rubbish bins.
3.                It depends. If there’s a lot of rubbish on the ground, you might “drop them accidentally”.

 

2.                On the way home you are very thirsty. What do you buy?

1.                Something in a non recyclable plastic bottle.
2.                Something in a glass bottle or alumimium can.
3.                Something in a carton.

 

3.                Your walkman always needs new batteries. What do you do?

1.                 Buy re-chargeable batteries.
2.                Put the old batteries in the bin and buy new ones.
3.                 Buy new ones and take the old ones to a recycling centre.

 

4.                If you lived near a beach, how would you react if a fast food restaurant opened near the beach?

1.                 Be pleased but also worried about more rubbish on the beach.
2.                Be pleased. Now you can eat burgers on the beach.
3.                 You never eat at fast food places because there is too much packaging.

 

5.                You buy a couple of things in a shop. When you pay, the cashier is about to put the things in plastic bag. What do you say?

1.                 “No, thank you”. (You have brought your own bag from home.)
2.                 Nothing. You let him/her put the things in the bag.
3.                  It depends if you can carry the things easily without a bag.

 

6. There are a couple of flies in your room. They are annoying you. What do you do?

1.               Try to kill them with a newspaper.
2.               Try to kill them with a horrible-smelling aerosol.
3.               Hit the air with a newspaper so they leave you alone.

 

7.                You are writing a letter to a good friend. You’ve made several mistakes and need to cross things out. What do you do?

1.               Start the letter again on another piece of paper.
2. Continue writing; your friend will excuse your mistakes.
3. Continue to write but if you make any more mistakes, start again.

2.	1	3	2
3.	3	1	2
4.	2	1	3
5.	3	1	2
6.	2	1	3
7.	1	3	2

Now add up your score:

Read the analysis.

7—10: You do not worry about the environment at all! You think pollution is someone else’s problem, not yours. You think recycling and saving energy resources are too time-consuming.

 

11—17: You care about the environment and you have some good habits which help save it. However, there are probably a few other things you could do.

 

18—21: You definitely care about the environment. You think about it when you make everyday decisions. If more people in the world were as good as you, the planet would have fewer problems.

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO THE RAIN?

 

Just a little rain falling around 

The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound

 Just a little rain, just a little rain

What have they done to the rain?

Just a little breeze out of the sky,

The leaves nod their heads as the breeze flows by,

Just a little breeze

With some smoke in its eye.

What have they done to the rain?

Just a little boy standing in the rain,

 The gentle rain that falls for years,

 And the grass is gone, the boy disappears

 And rain keeps falling like helpless tears,

 And what have they done to the rain?
