T.
- Nature is everything we can see around us: the Sun,
the Moon, the stars, our Earth, the plants that grow on
it, the animals that live on it. Nature is a nice
storybook and those who are attentive can find a lot of
interesting things in it. If you keep your open, you can
see a lot of wonders: blue sky, shiny stars, bright
sunshine, green trees, deep oceans and seas. Artists
create their masterpieces, inspired by the charming
beauty of Nature; musicians compose songs and
music, poets glorify the world around us in their
poems and verse. Byron and Shakespeare, Shelley and
Wordsworth, Goethe and Esenin sang the beauty of
Universe. I am sure you know wonderful verse by
thease or other poets. Does anyone want to present us
with a piece of poetry?

I wondered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills
When all at once I saw a crowd
A host of golden daffodils.
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of the bay
Ten thousand saw I at a glance
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee.
A poet could not but be gay.
In such a jocund company.
I gazed and gazed but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought
For oft when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood.
They flashed upon that inward eye
Which is a bliss of solitude.
And than my heat with pleasure fills
And dance with the daffodils.
P2
G.Byron (an extract from “Child Harold”)
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the loneless shore.
These is a society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea and Music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe and feel
What I can n’er express yet cannot all conceal.
P3
All for you (an unknown modern author).
The trees of the forest
The flowers on the lea,
The birds on the branches
The fish of the sea
The rocks and the mountains
The rivers that flow
The rain and the sunshine
The ice and the snow
All things that are lovely
All things that are good,
The creatures that live
And the plants that are food.
The corn-field are yellow,
The sky of deep blue,
The sweetness and beauty
Of life are for you!
T.
- Oh, thank you very much indeed. We’ve just listened to
the poems devoted to the beauty of Nature. But songs can
also be dedicated to the exciting appeal of the world
around us. Let’s listen to the Beatles song “Across the
Universe”.
- Did the song impress you? Why?
P1:
The song impressed me very much, as it depicts nature in
all its beauty. It makes us think about the significance of
nature, its impact on people’s life.
T.
- The verse and the song were very amusing and
marvelous.
- You have just a small rest. Now it’s time to train your
brains. Some of you are to give their own definitions of
the natural phenomena, all the rest are to guess what is
meant. So please, you are welcome. I give you just some
seconds to think it over.
P1:
- It is a clear colourless liquid that has no taste or smell
and that is necessary for survival of all plants, animals
and people. What is it?
- I think it is water.
T:
- You are quite right.
P2:
- We never know the value of water until this thing is
dry. It is a deep hole in the ground from which people

take water. What is it?
- I suppose it is a well.
T:
- Oh, yes, it’s so.
P3:
- The space around things that us above the ground, it is
the mixture of gases which forms the Earth’s
atmosphere and which we breath. What is it?
- To my mind, it is air.
T:
- Of course, it is.
P4:
- It is the substance on the land surface of the Earth in
which plants grow. What is it?
- It is soil.
T:
- You are right.
P5:
- It is a great mass of salt water that covers most of the
Earth’s surface and is full of living creatures. What is
it?
- It is an ocean.
T:
- Quite to the point.
- You were a success, thank you.
- You know that since ancient times Nature has served
Man, being the source of his life. For thousand of
years people lived in harmony with environment and it
seemed to them that natural riches were unlimited. But
with the development of civilization man’s
interference in nature began to increase.
In the 20
th
century man’s economic activities began to
produce negative effects on the biosphere. Your home
task was to determine the environmental problems.
What are they?
P1:
- The ozone layer. This layer of gas protects us from
the dangerous rays of the Sun. Fumes of the
chimneys of refrigerator and sprays, car exhaust fumes
damage the ozone layer that covers the Earth. There
are holes in it now because of the large concentration
of gases in the air. With the help of Sputniks our
scientists discovered 2 large holes in the ozone layer.
One is over the North Pole and the second is over the
South Pole, over Antarctica.
P2:
- Environmental pollution has become a significant
obstacle to economic growth. The discharge of gas and
dust into the atmosphere returns to the Earth in the
form of “acid rain” and affects crops, the quality of
forests, the amount of fish, the rise of chemicals,
radioactivity, noise.
P3:
- Global warming. It is an increase in world temperature
caused by the increase in carbon dioxide.
P4:
- Large cities with thousands of smoky industrial
enterprises appear all over the world today. The by-
products of their activity pollute the air we breathe,
the water we drink, the land we grow grain and
Слайд №1
Слайд №2
Слайд №3
Слайд №4
vegetables. Every year world industry pollutes the
atmosphere with about one thousand million tons of
dust and other harmful substances. Many cities suffer
from smog.
P5:
- The destruction of Nature gradually led to the lost of
the most essential element of existence, a healthy
biological habitat. Environmental pollution increases
the cases of disease, raises the cost of medical
services, and reduces the life span of a man. By now
the pollution and poisoning of the soil, water and air
have reached the critical level.
P6:
- Vast forests are cut and burnt in fire. Their
disappearance upsets the oxygen balance. As a result
some rare species of animal, birds, fish and plants
disappear forever, a number of rivers and lakes dry up.
P7
Many people think that fashion has nothing to do with the
problems of our environment and there is no connection
between animals, plants and fashion. We use thousands of
animals every year for tests of things like shampoos.
Some animals die or go blind because of these tests. We
kill whales for their oil, whish we use for cosmetics and
soap. A lot of jewellery is made from ivory, from the horn
of elephants and rhinos.
P8
- People continue to kill animals, go wear fur coats.
Many smuggled birds die during their transportation.
Smugglers forget that nothing can be more pleasant

that lying under a shady tree, listening to the rusting of
leaves and sweet twittering of birds.
T.
- Oh, thank you very much. You really did your best.
Let’s listen to the song “The Blackbird”. Turn to the tape
recorder, close your eyes and enjoy the music and the
words.
- I am sure you liked the song very much. I think you
have understood that with the development of our
civilization people have become dangerous to the planet
and themselves. Some scientists are pessimistic about the
problems. Others are more optimistic and believe that our
ecological problems are solvable. As many as 157
countries, members of the UNO have set up
environmental protection agencies. Can anyone tell us
about them?
P.
- Numerous conferences have been held by these
agencies to discuss question of ecologically poor regions
including the Aral Sea, the South Urals, Kebabs, Dondass,
Semipalatinsk and Chernobyl. The international
environmental research center has been set up on Lake
Baikal. The international organizations “Green peace”
and “Friends of the Earth” are also doing much to
preserve the environment.
T.
- Just imagine you are of “Green peace” organization.
Open your textbook at page 146 and work out your
appeals to the people. But be very attentive, look at the
blackboard. Here you see the poster with modal verbs.

Environmental protection.
Some hundreds of years people lived in harmony with nature, because industry was
not much developed. Today, however, the contradictions between man and nature
are dramatic.
The twenty first century is a century of the scientific and technological progress.
The achievements of the mankind in mechanization and automation of industrial
processes, in chemical industry and conquering outer space, in the creation of
atomic birth oto a vary serious problem the problem of the environment.
Ecology and the contamination of environment, is concerned with climate, over-
population in certain areas, deaths of plant and animals, chemical contamination of
seas, lakes and rives as well as atomic experiments and dumping of atomic waste
from power station. Floods, unexpected draughts, and the greenhouse effect are the
next reason.
There are many consequences of damaging the environment. One of them is acid
rain. Another one is water shortage resulting from abuse of arable lands in
agriculture. The third one is destroying the ozone layer of the Earth through
pollution from factories and plants. The fourth problem is damage o water and
soils. The fifth one is damage to wildlife: numerous species of animals and plants
can disappear. At last, the most serious danger arising from damaging the
environment is the result of the abovementioned consequenced. This is the danger
for the life and health of the man.
The protection of natural resources and wildlife is becoming a political
programme in every country. Numerous anti-pollution acts passed in different
countries led to considerable improvements in environment. In many countries
purifying system for treatment of industrial waters have been installed, measures
have been taken to protect rives and seas from oil waters.
But the environmental problems have grown beyond the concern of a single
country. Their solution requires the co-operation of all nations.
If we are unable to learn to use the environment carefully and protect it from
damage caused by man’s activities, very soon we’ll have no world to live in.
