2. Listening and writing practice (10 minutes)

Teacher: Let`s watch video and identify environmental problems (Slides 4-5).

               After watching video pupils name the environmental problems one by one and

               check their answers with the help of Power Point presentation, than pupils write

               down their answers on the board (List of environmental problems) (Slides 6 -14).

Pollution

Global warming

Overpopulation

Natural resource depletion

Waste disposal

Climate change

Loss of biodiversity

Deforestation

Ozone layer depletion

3. Checking Homework (6 minutes).

Teacher: And now let`s check your homework and share some information about the

                environmental problems (3 -4 pupils read some information about the

                environmental problems).

4. Reading practice. (6 minutes).

Teacher: We have list of problems and we have to identify their causes. So, let`s match the

                 environmental problems with their causes (6 minutes).

Teacher: We have list of problems, their causes and we have to find out the consequences of

                these problems. So, let`s match the problems with their consequences and add

               them to the fishbone diagram. Checking the answers with the help of Power Point

                presentation . (Slides 15-17), 5 minutes)).

Holes in ozone layer

Shortage of water

Shortage of food

Illnesses (cancer)

Natural disasters
