The speech of the biologist

“I raise my voice against powerful monopolies, against their destructive force.
What have they done to the earth?
They’ve turned our land into a desert of concrete and stone.
Rivers that used to be so beautiful and full of fish are poisoned.
Air that used to be so clean and fresh is polluted.
What have they done to the skies, to the seas, to the oceans?
They’ve created new machines, built roads and cities.
The noise is maddening!
They’ve done a great deal of harm to Man and are still doing so for profit and gain.
If nobody stops them we’ll face a nuclear war.
Choose life before it’s too late.”

– Pupils! Now  we are reading the text! Try to understand it and be ready to discuss it.

6. Работа с текстом.

How to help Our Planet

Today environmental issues are much spoken about on TV, radio and in newspapers. If people want to survive, they must do their best to solve these problems. Fortunately, it’s not too late to save our planet. We understand that our environment is not just our home town but the whole Earth. The protection of the environment requires the cooperation of all nations. Governments should take measures that will help improve the environment.
There are a lot of environmental groups and international organizations whose main goal is to strengthen cooperation among environmentalists from different countries. The most famous of them is “Greenpeace”, which combines the people’s efforts for peace with huge movement for nature conservation. “The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) “ is the name of anther international organization that appeared in 1961. In has created or given support to National Parks in five continents. You may also join “Friends of the Earth Trust”, which is an educational charity set up to help people of all ages become aware of the threats to our environment.
However, there are a lot of simple things we should all do to stop the destruction of the environment. First of all, we must keep our cities and towns clean. That means, we mustn’t drop litter in public places. If we see litter on the ground, we must put it into a litter bin. Besides, we shouldn’t dump our rubbish without thinking which things, such as bottles and paper, can be recycled.  And of course, we mustn’t draw or paint on pavements, walls or trees.
We must stop using aerosol sprays because the stuff they contain destroys the ozone layer. We should take care of birds and animals. We can help to plant trees and create parks for endangered species. We can clean rivers and canals and create footpaths. But first of all we must change people’s attitude towards the environment.
If we take action now, there might be some hope for the future. If we do nothing, we are heading for disaster!

1) What are the most serious environmental problems?
2) The world climate is changing, isn’t it?
3) What can people do to save our planet?
4) How can you personally take part in this work?
5) Think of at least five things Modern Man must do to survive. What can you suggest?

Звучит аудиозапись песни группы «Биттлз» «Представь!» в исполнении учащихся 7А класса.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Ahaaaa...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

Yahoooo...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

Yahoooo...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
