T. Look at the blackboard where we have the motto of our lesson. There are words said by chief Seattle in his letter to the USA President Franklin Pierce in 1854: “Teach your children what we have taught our children that the Earth is our mother. What ever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth. Ail things are connected like the blood, which unites one family. The Earth doesn’t belong to man, man, belongs to the Earth”.

T. So I would like you to discuss this quotation.

You may use the questions on the board as a plan for answering.

М ІЙ КО НСПЕКТ was sun in the sky and the birds were singing their beautiful songs. Vicki loved the countryside and she had lived there all her life. Weather was so nice that Vicki decided to take a longer way home, to the cottage where she lived. On her way she passed through a little grove where she used to play. Vicki was shocked to see that the grove looked terrible: it was piled with rubbish.

Vicki ran all her way back home. She had to do something about this mess. Suddenly she had an idea. She would Start her own Clean up the Countryside Society

When Vicki got home she phoned four of her school friends-Alice, Rosie, Cathy and Jane.

They all agreed to meet her at the grove. The girls set to work filling big black plastic bags with rubbish. It was hard work but soon all the rub­ bish was cleared away and the forest looked beautiful again.

T. I know that you’ve leant the poem: “ I go forth to move about the Earth” and you’ve prepared three dialogues for these lesson.

1. “Where do you want to live?”

2. “An Ecology class” 3. “Acid rain” I go forth to move about the Earth

Dave. You’re right. But there’re a lot of parks in New York, aren’t there?

Paul. There certainly are. But I ’m sure there are a lot more cars and car parks there. I really pre­ fer a quiet life in a small village. *

Dialogues “An ecology class” Frank. We had an ecology class yesterday. We discussed different environmental problems.

Chris. No wonder. They are the most important problems these days.

Frank. I think many people understand they should protect the environment.

Chris. Do they really understand that? I’m not quite sure, because factories dump waste into rivers, air pollution is getting worse too.

Frank. T hat’s true. And yet more and more peo­ ple fight against nuclear tests, nuclear weapons and other things.

Chris. But will they win? And when will they win these battles?

Frank. D on’t lose hope. Let’s hope for the best.

Dialogues “Acid rain”

P I. Oh, Timur, I’ve heard that you live in the village Krukovshina now. is it really so?

P2. Tell us please!

P3. All right all right. It’s true my family has a rather big house with all modern convinces and the most important thing that we have a gar­ den and a kitchen garden.

P2. Oh, it’s cool, I think! Fresh fruit and vegeta­ bles are so useful for our health.

P I. You are right. It’s clean air, clean water, quite life, what do you want else!

I go forth to move about the Earth.

I go forth as the owl, wise and knowing.

I go forth as the eagle, powerful and bold.

I go forth as the dove, peaceful and gentle.

I go forth to move about the Earth

in wisdom, courage, and peace.

P3.1 agree with you, but friends, nowadays a vil­ lage has the same ecological problems a village has the same ecological problems as cities and towns.

Dialogues “Where do you want to live?”

P2. The same?

Dave. Paul! You know what? My father’s got a new job! are going to live in New York.

P I. Which ones?

Paul. In New York? Really? Have you ever lived

in a big city?

P3. Soil pollution, water and air pollution of course!

P2. Really?

Dave. No. I haven’t. Have you?

P I. It’s a disaster!

Paul. Yes, I have. I lived in San Francisco with

my grandparents for a few years. I didn’t like it there.

Dave. But why? Were there too many people or too much noise and traffic?

Paul. Yes. there was. And I don’t like crowds and pollution. There isn’t enough fresh air in big cit­ ies you know. .* £/

P3. It was raining yesterday. And you know, after that rain the rain the leaves on trees and bushes became yellow with black points.

PL. What was that?

P2. You see our air is polluted and when this air mixes with the rain, we have acid rain. One of them was yesterday.

М ІЙ КО НСП ЕКТ P I. What can we do in this situation?

P3. I’ve heard and I’ve read that people must put filters at factories and planets, at buses and cars. Then air will be clean.

P I. We’ll solve this problem if people all over the world think, speak about air pollution and do useful actions to solve this problem.

P2. You are right.

P3. I agree with you.
