Один из разделов учебника английского языка для 9-го класса «Английский язык нового тысячелетия» (авторы: О.Л. Гроза, О.Б. Дворецкая, Н.Ю. Казырбаева и др.) посвящен проблемам экологии и называется «Our fragile world». В конце изучения данной темы я провожу итоговый урок , который позволяет выявить в какой мере ученики овладели разговорными клише, умениями высказываться по теме «экологические проблемы».

- Воспитательная: Формирование экологической грамотности, чувства любви к природе и ответственности за ее сохранение.
- Развивающая: Развивать память, умение обобщать, делать выводы.
- Образовательная: Обобщить знания по теме.
Оснащение урока: компьютер-презентация слайдов, фото, стенгазета на экологические темы, карта Республики Бурятия со специальными значками (заповедник, заказник, охраняемая территория), рисунки с экологическими знаками на упаковке, проспекты зоопарков США, таблички с надписями Mass Media, Wildlife specialists, ватман, тексты, клей, фломастеры, фотографии и картинки с изображением экологических проблем.

Eco problems in Kurumkansky district
1. Kurumkansky district is located in the north-east of Buryatia and covers the territory of 12450 km.It takes over 7 hours to reach from Ulan-Ude to Kurumkan by car as it is 415 km between them. One of the most attractive areas with a vast wilderness of unspoiled thickly wooden mountains, deep and clear rivers with ice cold water, picturesque coniferous forests abundant with different kinds of berries. The district possesses about 50 mineral and thermal springs. Almost all illnesses can be cured there as it is the best place for rest and healing.
There are some eco problems in Kurumkanskiy district, such as:
- litter is not reused or recycled;
- the air is poisoned by car;
- there is less pure water.
I think that litter is the most complicated problem. In our region there are not enough special litter stations to reuse and recycle it. In Ulan-Ude there are few litter bins. That is why you can see a lot of litter everywhere.
2. Forests are called “the lungs” of the planet because trees can transform carbon dioxide into oxygen to breathe. Every day forests and woods are cut down, it is necessary to protect and conserve them. Cutting down forests damages thousands of acres of land. The soil can easily be blown away and there is less soil. Even if new trees are planted they cannot bring back the old forest that was part of a complex ecosystem that cleaned the air, trapped flood water, and made a home for much wildlife.
All the forest visitors should keep to these rules to protect forests and woods:
- don’t cut young trees;
- don’t break the branches of trees and bushes;
- don’t drop litter or leave it in the forest;
- don’t make noise because animals are damaged by it.
