ХОД УРОКА

1. Организационный момент. Вступительное слово учителя

– Good morning, everybody. Let’s begin our lesson. The topic of our lesson will be “We must protect our environment”. The problem is that our planet faces destruction because of acid rains, ozone holes, too much garbage, all sorts of air and water pollution. That’s why people should realize the seriousness of the question and must react. At the lesson we shall read some information about environmental problems and discuss them.

2. Фонетическая и речевая зарядка

Teacher: There is an expression on the screen written by Ernest Hemingway, a famous American writer: “The world is a fine place and worth fighting for”. Read the expression and translate it.

(Ученик зачитывает слова Американского писателя, другой переводит. Далее проходит обсуждение высказывания).

Teacher: Do you think the world is a fine place? Is the world beautiful? Is the world interesting? Is it colourful? Is it different? Is it great? But it is not big as we think.
Look at the apple. Imagine it’s our planet. I’m cutting it into 4 pieces. Three quarters (3/4) of the Earth surface is water and only ? is land. (Режется ? пополам). One half of it is habitable. The rest of the land is the deserts, mountains, frozen ice-caps and other places that people cannot live in. (Следующий кусочек режется на 4 части). Only 1/32 gives us food and shelter. Less than 1% of water is drinkable. So you see! People should take care of their small Earth.

3. Работа с текстом (изучающее чтение)

  • The pollution of the land, air and water is the problem of civilization. It is one of the greatest dangers on the Earth. Ecological problems are deforestation, ozone holes, acid rains and the global warming.
  • The seas are in danger. They are filled with industrial wastes and pesticides.Every 10 minutes one kind of animal, plant or insect dies out for ever.
  • Air pollution is a very serious problem. In Cairo breathing the air is equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes a day.
  • Plants and factories make the greenhouse effect.
  • The greater problem is nuclear power stations. We all know Chernobyl tragedy. People are beginning to realize the environmental problems. They join international organizations and green parties. All states ought to save the Earth from an ecological catastrophe.

5. Работа с текстами (поисковое чтение)

Teacher: You will get to know some more information about environment and its problems. We shall divide into 2 groups. The first group will read the text “The Baltic, a Sea of Waste”. The second group will work with the text “Ecological problems of our region”. There’s no need to understand every detail of the text. Your are to look through the texts and  do the tasks written on the sheets of paper.

THE BALTIC, A SEA OF WASTE

  • The Baltic is a special case. It is a small sea and it becomes dirty very easily. There are hundreds of factories on the rivers which run into the Baltic. Millions of people live along them. Seven industrial countries surround the Baltic. All this affects the state of the sea water, flora and fauna.
  • Pollution is a serious problem. It affects everyone every day. Where does pollution come from? Is it only factories, big ships and cars that pollute? No. It is you and me as well. If you drop litter, you pollute. That’s how it begins.
  • Most big cities pour their waste into seas and rivers. For a long time people did not realize the danger. The first alarm came from Japan. Sixty people died because they had eaten polluted fish.
  • Fortunately all the countries in the Baltic area have realized the problem. They came to the agreement. The aim of it is to prevent oil pollution of the sea, to organize fishing and the preservation of sea life.

Tasks for the text:

1.  Read the text and answer the question: where does pollution come from.
2.  Read the text carefully and find the sentences which explain that people have realized the problem.

ECOLOGICAL  PROBLEMS OF OUR  REGION

  • The Far North has grown several times. It was due to the rapid development of northern territories. Thousands of kilometers of roads and railways have been built. Thousands of wells have been drilled. A large oil and gas complex was constructed. It is harmful for the environment.
  • Thousands of trees are cut out. Millions of tons of oil have got into the ground and water. Flares put wastes into the air. The land, grass and trees around the flare resemble a foot of a volcano. The damage to the flora and fauna is great.
  • What must be done? People must minimize the damage to the Nature. They must improve      technical equipment, the technology of oil and gas.
  • People must be responsible for their deeds. We must do our best to save the original nature of our region.

Tasks for the text:

1.  Reading the text, find out what must be done to prevent the damage.
2.  Think of another title of the text.

6. Обучение говорению

Teacher: There are a lot of kinds of containers and thins that become litter or garbage after use. Let’s see how long it takes litter to disappear, to decay.

a) What kind of container have you got? (Учащимся даны предметы повседневного обихода: клубок шерсти, деревянная палочка, пластиковая бутылка…)
в) What is the period of time necessary for a thing to decay?
г) Tell me, please, the sentences about the things you have got.

Pupil 1: Wool decays during 1 year.
Pupil 2: Plastic bottles decay during 500 years…

7. Подведение итогов
