I. Организационный момент.
All around us is wonderfully.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Listen and enjoy yourself. It is dawn. The first appearance of daylight is in the morning. Everything is coming out to meet the Sun light. The meadows, forests, rivers and lakes are feeling happy at this moment showing their fresh and vital beauty. Flowers, birds, animals and people – all of them are feeling themselves with great power of the Sun expressing in it their own language. The flowers are showing their colours: yellow, red, orange, violet, rose, white, pink. The birds are singing their wonderful songs: the animals are silently observing the surroundings. The butterflies and bees are dancing in the air. Every creature on earth is thankful to the Sun. Indeed, there is a lot to be thankful for. This is beauty. This is joy.
The poem: YOURS 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 bright.

Text:
You know that polluted air, water and land are harmful to plants, animals and of cause people. As a result of our investigations we have found out that some parts of our village are polluted. Many years ago the Vorskla River was deeper and wider. We swam there and there was fish there. But now some people put their garbage on the banks and water is polluted. We sometimes throw litter in the streets and there are some rubbish heaps on the wrong places. It’s the most important problem. Next. There are a lot of old houses in Novostroevka where children may play and it is dangerous that they can fire them. We try to control litter. All enterprises/ offices work together to clean up the village. There are some laws which punish people who throw garbage on the streets. One more problem is planting trees. Each person should plant at least one tree and take care of it. You pupils can also take care of our grove. We should keep Novostroevka tidy. It is our home. We must take care of it for ourselves and for future generations.
Teacher: What ecological problems are there in Novostroevka?
