Ход урока

- The theme of today’s lesson is “Environmental Protection”. The problem of our lesson is the global situation in ecology and what we do with it.

We’ll try to discuss some environmental problems in our world.

“Your and mine”

The sun, the trees, the grass, the sky,

The silver moon that’s sailing by,

The rain and dew and snowflakes white,

The flowers sweet and stars of night!

The song of birds, wind whispering-

Such lovely things to bear and see

Belong to you, belong to me.

Ivan Shishkin

Shishkin is one of Russia’s outstanding landscape painters. He was born in 1832, in Yelabuga, a small town on the banks on the Kama River. In 1852, Shishkin entered the Moscow Art School. After graduating in 1856, he entered the St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts. In 1857 Shishkin was awarded one of the highest Academy prizes, the silver medal for drawing. He graduated from the Academy with the highest awards, the First Gold Medal, and a three-year scholarship to study abroad. When Shishkin came back to Russia, he was already famous for his artistic reproductions of scenery.

In 1870 Shishkin became one of the founders of Association of Mobile Art Exhibitions (“Peredvizhniki”). Shishkin’s most important canvases are “Rye”, where he shows the beauty of Russian nature, “Morning in the Pine Wood”, where he shows the moment when the first rays of the sun are breaking through and the night mist is lifting. The forest is waking up from its sleep. His other canvases – “Pine Wood”, “Wind fallen Trees”, “The Oaks” and others – show the beauty and power of nature.

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 word 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 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.
