Card 1.

№ 1

The weather

Weather is daily conditions of a particular place that we cannot control. It is not

the same everywhere. Weather can be warm or cold, wet or dry, bright or

overcast, rainy or sunny, windy or calm, foggy or clear, changeable or settled.

People often listen to the weather forecast to know what clothes to put on, if we

should take an umbrella or not.

As for the weather today, it’s quite warm \ cold and sunny \ cloudy. It’s windy \

It’s not windy today. The temperature is …. degrees above \ below zero. It’s a

good time to spend the day in the open air \ to stay at home and watch TV. The

weather can affect our mood. If it is sunny, we feel happy and delighted, but we

feel depressed when it is cloudy or overcast. I prefer sunny weather, because

then I can go outdoors to walk with my friends.

A barometer is an instrument which helps to tell what the weather will be like.

When a barometer shows high pressure in summer the weather will be hot and

sunny. When a barometer shows high pressure in winter the weather will be cold

and frosty. When the barometer shows low pressure in summer the weather will

be rainy and cloudy. In winter it will be wet and windy.

Questions:

1. Weather forecasts are very important for people, especially for those who

work as farmers, pilots, drivers or sailors.

2. Weathermen collect information about the weather.

3. Yes, the weather in Russia and Great Britain is different because Russia is

the largest country in the world. It is warmer in the south and colder in the

north. The weather in Great Britain is rather windy and wet because Britain

is an island.

4. I often listen to the weather forecast.

№ 2.

A: Excuse me, could you give me some advice?

B: Yes, of course.

A: I have to write an article about environmental problems for our school

magazine. I know much but what should I start with?

B: First, you should work out a plan of the article. Have you tried?

A: Not yet. But I think the most important problems are air pollution, water

pollution, the shortage of natural resources, the noise from cars and planes,

destruction of wildlife and the growth of population.

B: If I were you, I would start with the reasons of these problems.

A: Great idea! Many seas and rivers are poisoned because factories and plants

produce a lot of industrial waste and pour it into the water. Fish and sea animals

die. A lot of forests are cut down every year. Birds and animals leave their

habitats because there is not enough oxygen in the air. Air pollution causes the

ozone holes in the atmosphere and acid rain.

B: That’s right. And what about the solving of these problems?

A: I’m going to write what people can do to protect the Earth. Is it a good idea?

B: - No doubt. Have you thought over the title?

A: Not yet. Is “The Earth Needs a Friend” good?

B: Why not? It reflects the main idea of the article.

A: When must I finish the article?

B: By the end of this week. Is it enough time for you?

A: Yes, it is. Thank you.

B: You’re welcome.

Card 2.

№ 1.

What do the following animals have in common: pandas, rhinos, turtles, whales,

pink pigeons, tigers, elephants and crocodiles? They are all endangered animals!

For centuries, humans have hunted elephants for their impressive tusks, killed

tigers for their beautiful furs, and caught crocodiles for their skin. Some species

have become extinct.

The reason is that people destroy the forests, the natural habitats of plants and

animals; people pollute the air and water and the animals die.

People cut down trees, that’s why there is less oxygen in the air, it may influence

our health. Rainforests are very important because they produce oxygen and

absorb carbon dioxide. Also, some medicine is made from plants.

People can survive if they protect the nature. Factories and plants should stop

polluting air and water and put special filters on their chimneys. People should

plant more trees and create national parks for endangered animals and plants.

We also should stop throwing rubbish into the water or in the streets.

Questions:

1. Yes. Our planet is really beautiful. It’s so wonderful when the sun is shining

and you feel hot. It’s so pleasant to swim in the clear water. It’s so nice to

walk in the forest or meadow and listen to birds singing.

2. As for me I think air pollution is the most important ecological problem.

Different cars and buses, plants and factories pollute the air we breathe in.

If we don’t solve this problem quickly, we won’t survive.

3. I try not to waste water. I never throw rubbish into the water or in the

streets. I never leave rubbish in the forest and I never pick up rare plants.

№ 2.

A: What is the best place for a family to live: in town or in the country?

B: I think the best place to live is the countryside.

A: Really? I believe the best place for a family is the town because I can have all

modern conveniences and I can visit a lot of interesting places.

B: I don’t think it’s a good idea to live in a big city. The countryside is so beautiful

and peaceful.

A: I see what you mean. But I am an energetic and active person and I enjoy

visiting museums and cinemas, cafes and shopping centers. Life in the city is so

exciting.

B: Well, it’s great to come to the city as a tourist but if you live there all the time,

I’m sure you will be fed up with all these sights and museums. Just think about

noise, pollution and traffic jams during rush hours.

A: As for me, I don’t mind noise and pollution. But if I live in a city, I can get a

good education and earn more money than in the countryside.

B: I can’t agree with you. It’s difficult to find a job in a big city. As for me, I would

prefer to work for myself and live in my own house.

A: I agree with you but, in my opinion, there is nothing to do in the countryside.

The life is so boring. In addition, I think it’s very hard to earn your living there.

B: But country people are healthier and stronger because the air in the country is

clean, there are many forests and fields in the country. People can spend much

time in the open air. It’s very good for health.

A: I see your point but I’d rather live in the city because I can have a lot of fun

here.
