2. Фонетическая разминка

I would like to begin with the poem. First just listen to it paying attention to intonation and pronunciation of some words.

And now let’s listen to it one more time. You must fill in the gaps with the missing words.

Today you are going camping

With your family, friends or class.

Please help us, don’t drop any litter!

’Cos your litter lives longer than us!

Today you are cutting forests

But the planet needs our leaves.

Please stop it because tomorrow

You’ll have no air to breathe!

You can have a bath or a shower

But today is the time to think.

Save the rivers because without them

You’ll have no water to drink.

Today we are still in your forests,

In the sky, in the river, but look:

Don’t kill us! Because your children

Will see us in picture books.

’Cos nothing is forever

And nature is getting tired.

If we don't stop and think today

Tomorrow the Earth could die!

Let’s check. What missing words are here?

Read expressively, beautifully, please.

Today we are trying to answer the question “What can people do to help the planet?” It’s our main problem for today’s lesson.

Называют тему урока, опираясь на проведенную ранее беседу по стихотворению “It’s time to save the Earth” / “Let’s save the Earth”

5. Активизация изученной лексики. Работа по картинкам (организация коротких диалогов-расспросов)

Look at these photos.

What do you think they are doing? / What can you see in this picture

Do you think it can help to protect the Earth?

We talked about rubbish a lot. Do you remember some statistics about rubbish?

How much rubbish can people recycle? How much recyclable material is actually recycled?

Описывают фотографии, опираясь на свой активный словарь по теме.

In the first picture children are planting trees. In the second one people are riding bikes instead of using cars. In the third picture a girl is throwing some plastic things into the special container (the recycling bin)

Of course yes! Leaves of trees need us to breathe. They give us the oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide ['daɪə-]. They prevent from land erosion [ɪ'rəuʒ(ə)n]. They protect coastline areas. They give us wood (древесина) and lumber / timber ['tɪmbə] (пиломатериалы). Any green plants delight our eye especially in a big grey city.

Exhaust fume from cars pollute the atmosphere, pollute the air we breathe. Besides cars with their owners make a lot of troubles on the roads (traffic jams, accidents)

We should sort our litter. We should have special recycling bins to sort the rubbish. Recycling must be an important part of our life. It difficult and expensive but it is useful.

It’s known that in one year the average person throws away: about 70 food cans, 34 cans of pet food, about 70 drink cans.

It’s known that in one year a European family with two children throws away about 50 kilos of paper (that is six trees) and about 60 kilos of plastic.

People can recycle 80% of domestic rubbish. They can recycle most kinds of paper It’s a pity that only 4% of recyclable material is actually recycled

6. Аудирование

8. Работа в парах. Тренировка навыков поискового чтения

What else can people do to help the Earth?

At home you worked with the text. You can find this text on your sheet of paper. There are 12 points, look them through now and decide where to add the sentences. (Mark the places in the text where they fit best)

Read the point and suitable addition.

Do we have some facts (how to help the planet) which haven’t been already mentioned?

Работают в парах с домашним текстом и с 6 дополнениями к нему: 6 дополнений нужно сопоставить с пунктами текста. Далее читают, что получилось.

1. Try not to waste energy. A. Don’t stand with the fridge door open while you wonder what to eat — make your mind up before you open the door. The fridge warms up when the door is open and it takes extra energy to make it cold again.

2. Keep yourself informed about environ­mental problems.

3. Before you throw anything away, stop and think. Might someone else have a use for it? E. Charities are often pleased to have old books clothes and toys.

4. Take as much rubbish as you can to local recycling centres.

5. If you have a choice, avoid buying pack­aged goods.

6. Don’t waste paper. D. When you are writing, use both sides of the paper.

7. Before you buy anything, ask yourself if you really need it. B. You don’t need everything adverts say you do. Try to avoid buying things you really don’t have any use for.

8. Walk or cycle whenever possible.

9. Never drop litter.

10. Help to clean up your local environment. C. There is probably a group in your area which spends weekends cleaning up ponds, rivers, parks and woods. Take some friends along and join the group — you’ll have fun as well as helping the environment.

11. Try to reduce noise pollution. F. Don’t take your radio outside — other people may not want to hear it.

12. Put out food for wild animals in winter.

2. Keep yourself informed about environ­mental problems. (It’s important. You must know what happens in the world not to make the situation with the environment worse)

4. Take as much rubbish as you can to local recycling centres. (In Kaluga and Kaluga region there are some companies which work with recyclable materials)

5. If you have a choice, avoid buying pack­aged goods. (Packaging makes a lot of waste, a lot of rubbish. Unfortunately we can find it everywhere)

12. Put out food for wild animals in winter. (Animals need our help too especially in winter. We should make bird houses, put food for homeless and wild animals)

9. Работа в мини-группах. Составление объявления о субботнике для одноклассников.

There are a lot of important steps which people must take to save the Earth. One of these steps we can take together, in a collective. And in our school we do it together in autumn and in spring. What am I talking about?

Use the information we have discussed and prepare an announcement for your school radio. You must convince your schoolmates to take part in a “clean-up day” outside the school.

Which announcement do you find the most original and convincing?

clean-up days

Составляют объявление о субботнике, например, такое:

Hello, our dear schoolmates! You know that nowadays our planet needs to be protected. And it’s time to make our own contribution into the environment’s protection. We can make our own countryside society. We are going to start our work with a “clean-up day”. Everybody who wants to help our fragile planet is invited on the 5^th of May.

During our lessons I’ve been trying to convince you that environmental problems are very important. People and their actions are responsible for bad air, unclean water, and polluted land. It’s our common fault and now we should not only stop and think but do something to make the situation better. First of all, let’s follow these simple rules which must be a law for us.

Thank you for your work today.
