Ход урока

I. Организационный момент и речевая разминка. Сообщение целей урока.

Good morning, dear pupils.

I am glad to see you here. I hope you are well.

Today we are having a lesson on the topic “The World’s Best Friend Is You”. What do you think

we shall speak about? (Pupils answer)

Yes, we shall speak about ecology, pollution, influence of a man on the environment. The

problem of our lesson is the global situation in ecology and what can we do with it. I hope you

are ready for the lesson.

II. Речевая зарядка.

– Let's read the poem very attentively and try to understand what does it mean – change to green.

Rub your eyes and look around,

Litter lying on the ground,

Bottles, cans and polythene-

Take the tip and change to green!

Forests going up in smoke,

Cities fit to make you choke,

Nowhere left to be that’s clean-

Take a breath and change to green!

Animals and plants have died,

People starve to feed our pride,

For the life that might have been

Take a stand and change to green!

There’s so much that isn’t right,

It could get you well uptight,

So make a start and change the scene-

The lights are flashing – change to green!

P. I think the words ‘change to green’ mean that the man can become better if he or she changes

his or her point of view on the nature.

P. To my mind ‘change to green’ means to love not only nature but everything that is around us

and try to do the best to solve all environmental problems.

P. I think sometimes people don’t pay attention to the damages and destructions that they’ve

done.

IV. Проверка домашнего задания. Ex.12, p. 43

– At home you read the text “Environmental Problems” and now I want to know how well you

understand it. You are to find the English equivalents to the following statements:

- все формы жизни

- многие виды животных и птиц исчезли

- в некоторых реках вы можете увидеть пену, причиной которой являются химические

отходы

- леса по всему миру исчезают

- люди вырубают леса, потому что им нужны бумага и древесина

- леса, размером с Бельгию, уничтожаются каждый год

- загрязнение очень опасно для человека, дикой природы и окружающей среды

V. Физкультминутка.

VI. Проверка навыков аудирования.

– Please, now listen to the text “Environmental Protection”; look at the sentences in the tests on

your desks but first pay attention to the words on the blackboard. Repeat them after me. I don’t

ask you questions about the text, here is a little test – complete the sentences using the right

word, and we’ll see how you understand the text.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION.

The poisoning of the world’s land, air and water is one of the most important problems of

our civilization. The seas are in danger. Many companies dump chemical and nuclear waste into

water. The Mediterranean is already nearly dead; the North Sea is following. The Aral Sea is on

the brink of extinction. Half of the lakes in the world are polluted. If nothing is done about it, one

day nothing will be able to live in the seas.

Air pollution is also a very serious problem. Because many factories release sulfates into

the air. When the sulfates mix with the clouds, acid rains fall and harm all living creatures. In

Cairo just to breathe the air is like smoking two packs of cigarettes a day. Mexico City and 600

cities of Russia have dirty air. This causes different diseases. Because of different kinds of

pollution every ten minutes one kind of animal, plant or insect dies out forever.

People begin to realize that environmental problems are our problem. These are a lot of

international green organizations that take care of the environment and “Green Peace” is one of

the most active. Many governments are waking up and making strict laws against pollution.

Scientists are trying to make factories and plants cleaner. In many countries there are big plans to

clean up the water. And every person must do his best to help our planet survive.

TEST. You are to complete the sentences using the right word. Write down only the word.

1. Environmental protection is an ________ problem. (easy, important, pleasant)

2. Factories pour a lot of _______ into air & water. (a shortage, waste, pollution)

3. What caused the ______ of wildlife? (destruction, poison, population)

4. Many rivers & lakes are _______. (poisoned, filled, used)

5. Many scientists try to __________ ecological problems. (solve, know, protect)

VI. Развитие навыков монологической речи. Работа в группах по три человека.

– Now it’s high time to discuss and solve some ecological problems, the main topic is

“Environment”. We’ve divided into groups of three, that’s why you are sitting in such a way.

You are to tell us the main points of the given topic. I give you 4-5 minutes. At the end we’ll

make conclusions. Our topics are:

“Water pollution”, “Air Pollution”, “The Ozone Hole” (озоновая дыра), “The Greenhouse

Effect” (парниковый эффект), “Acid Rains” (кислотные дожди). /Темы заранее давались

с целью поисковой работы/.

– Please, stop discussing. One by one report your topic and make the conclusion, announce it.

P1. “Water Pollution” – We need to save our water, to keep it clean and healthy so people, plants

and animals will always have something to drink. And so fish and other creatures will have a

place to live.

P2. “Acid Rain” – It’s very important for us to stop making acid rain. One good way to do that is

to drive our cars less. Another good way is to save energy. The less energy we use, the less coal

those power plants will have to burn.

P3. “Air Pollution” – It’s very important for us to clean up the air we all breathe. Everyone can

help keep our air clean and safe. It’s even fun! You can plant a tree, ride your bike, and even

write a letter to a newspaper.

P4. “Greenhouse Effect” – Everybody can help stop the greenhouse effect by using less energy,

protecting and planting tress, and by recycling – so factories don’t need to work as hard making

things.

P5. “The Ozone Hole” – Scientists are very concerned about the ozone layer, because a lot of it

has gone away in just a few years. So it’s very important that we learn to do something about it.

We can all help to stop the ozone layer from disappearing!

– Thank you, well done, you are so clever I am proud of you.
