Read about the environmental problems using Passive voice. We pollute the air We leave litter in the streets We don’t recycle paper People cut down the forests We break trees We pollute the rivers Poachers kill animals We don’t save energy

Let’s check. The air is polluted by us. Litter is left in the streets. Paper is not recycled. Trees are broken by us. The forests are cut down by people. The rivers are polluted Animals are killed by poachers. Energy is not saved by us

What could we do to solve these problems: We must reduce pollution. We mustn’t spill oil into rivers. We shouldn’t leave litter in the streets. We need to take care of nature. The factories and plants must be removed from cities. Green zones must be protected and increased. Pollution control systems must be introduced. Purifying systems for cleaning and trapping harmful substances must be widely used. Noise must be reduced.

Read the text. Motto: “Our Fragile Planet Asks for Help” T: ­ What is this motto about? (About ecology, about our planet, about its protection). You are right. The topic of our lesson is Environmental protection. Today we speak about the Earth and its pollution. An outstanding English writer John Galsworthy said: ”If you don’t think about the future you will not have it.” Let’s think about the future. Let’s keep our planet tidy and make it better place to live in. Let’s save the Earth for ourselves and for the next generations. 

Read the text Look at the apple! Imagine it’s our Earth. I’m cutting the apple into 4 pieces. Three quarters of the Earth is water and only ¼ is land. One half of it is habitable. The rest of the land is the mountains, deserts, ice and other places where people cannot live in. And now I’m cutting this half into 4 parts. It’s impossible to believe but only 1/4 gives us food and shelter. And people destroy this small piece, though we are the part of  it. The nature, the Earth  need our understanding and help but not destruction.  So, we try to discuss all these problems today.
