Reading. Slides 10-11

T: Let’s continue our work. Read the text and tell whether there is such a holiday in your country? How is it usually celebrated?

Earth Day is an annual event celebrated on April 22. The event is held worldwide to celebrate support for protection of the environment. The first Earth Day actually consisted of two separate celebrations in 1970, one on March 21st and the other on April 22nd. Earth Day 1970 gave a voice to that appearing consciousness and put environmental concerns on the front page. It became the day when we celebrate nature, raise awareness about environmental issues, learn of ways to lighten our footprint on the planet, and send a message to the rest of the world that we care about our environment. On April 22, 1990, the 20th anniversary of Earth Day, more than 200 million people in 141 countries participated in Earth Day celebrations across the globe. Today, the fight for a clean environment continues with increasing urgency, as the destructive effects of climate change become clearer every day. It is absolutely critical that we take care of the Earth and its natural resources.

Earth Day is a great time to reflect. Are the decisions you make day-to-day in line with how you really want to live your life? If not, what steps will you take to make the two balance? There are many things you can do to help the environment; which will you focus on for the next year? Reducing greenhouse gas emissions? Reducing nutrient or sediment runoff on your property? Participating in a citizen-science, conservation-minded project? Ask yourself which of your strengths you can use to help those around you make environmentally sound decisions. Which issues do you know less about? Decide on important local or global issues you would like to learn more about and go for it. You may be a persuasive leader who can provide that little extra push that we often need, or you may be an introvert who can be successfully led by example. Use this day to commit to changes that will make a difference for the whole year.

Post-reading task Slide 12

T: Let’s decide whether the sentences are true or false.
