1. Организационный момент.


Students, look at these landscapes. The world we live is really wonderful: blue oceans, seas and rivers, mountains, hills, fields and valleys. We live surrounded by this beauty. But the situation isn’t the same in different parts of our planet. Today we are going to discuss one of the main problem of the time - the ecological problem. Tell me please, what does the word
ecology
mean?
P.
The word
ecology
came from Greek word which means home. This idea of home includes the whole planet of ours.
T
. You are right. And now our home – our planet is in danger. We should answer two main questions during our lesson: 1. Is the situation really so dangerous? 2. What can we do to protect the nature and to save our planet? Look at the picture. Name the most serious problems of our day.
P. P.
 dangerous technologies  pollution  new local wars  endangered animals  dangerous diseases  star wars  people and their interrelations  lack of recycling  breaking human rights  drugs
2.Основная часть.
Обсуждение экологической ситуации . Выступления обучающихся.

T.
You have read some texts about ecological problems and have learnt enough words . You have prepared some projects.
Now,
listen the projects of our students connected with our topic .
P1.
I want to tell you about pollution. The situation is really gloomy and sometimes even hopeless. Rivers, lakes, seas, oceans cover more than 70% of our planet. Scientists say «man will die if oceans die».Over 5 million tons of oil products pollute the ocean each year. About 2 million tons of these products come from cars. First the oil products go into atmosphere. From the atmosphere they go into oceans. A ship wrecked tankers spill a lot of oil into the ocean. In addition big rivers carry into the ocean a lot of waste from industry and agriculture. Pollution means death to oceans. It kills fish, plants, birds. Experts believe life in oceans will be destroyed within 25 years.
P2.
Well, we see that water which is necessary for our life is polluted awfully .As for me, I want to focus to another problem – the problem of air pollution. Nobody and nothing on the Earth could live without air .People pollute the air all over the world. A great number of trees growing on the planet produce oxygen and clean the air. But vast forests are cut and burn in fire. Their disappearance upset the oxygen balance. In addition awful harm is caused to our home by nuclear tests of atom bombs, accidents on the atomic power stations, for example, Chernobyl tragedy in 1986. About 18% of the territory of Belorus was polluted with radioactive substances.
T. N
ow, Kristina and Veronika, tell us about rubbish and packaging.
P3.
Many countries bury and forget about millions of tons of rubbish every year. It’s known that in one year a European family throws away about 50 kilos of paper and about 60 kilos of plastic. The Green World reports say that in one year the average person throws away: about 70 food cans, 34 cans of pet foot and about 70 drink cans. But we don’t have to throw away all our waste paper, glass, metal and plastic. We can also burn or recycle a lot of it. In fact it’s possible to recycle 80% of domestic rubbish. But only 4% of rubbish recycled. But it saves trees and energy and protects the environment from pollution.
P4.
People usually do shopping in supermarkets. Nearly everything is packed in paper or plastic containers. Some of this packaging is necessary. It keeps food clean and fresh .But some packaging is not necessary. It‘s just to make the food look better. Every year in Britain each person produces about 57 kilograms of plastic waste. Disposing of all this plastic is an expensive problem. But that’s not all. Making plastic causes pollution. Unfortunately, some of this packaging doesn’t reach the bins. It becomes litter instead. Some people simply tear the wrapping off sweets and throw it away. They drop their cigarette packets and cans of drink without a thought. In the town their litter looks horrible.
T.
Let’s not forget about animals. So, girls, Oksana and Katya go to defend animals .

P5.
People in cities suffer greatly from the pollution. But as for animals, the situation is really dramatic. Almost all animals, insects and birds living on our planet needs help. They could disappear forever. During 300 years 280 species were destroyed on our planet. Nowadays the destruction of animals is going on .Indian tigers are among them. Tigers are the biggest cats in the world. They are skilful hunters and people are afraid of them. So they kill them to safe their lives. But some people hunt tigers for their beautiful skins and for fun. They sell the skins and get a lot of money. The result is sad. There are few Indian tigers on the Earth.
P6.
I want to tell you about elephants.They are wonderful, they can help men. Elephants need a lot of water. They drink as much as 50 gallons a day. They spray their bodies with water. They need a lot of food. Elephants spend about 16 hours a day eating. Today many elephants in Africa are dying because they do not have enough food to eat and space to live in. Hunters kill thousands of elephants every year for meat and for their tusks .Only two million elephants live on the planet today. As for the other animals the situation is the same: 1) 8 big cats are killed to make one fur coat; 2) only several hundred of rhinos are left in Asia; 3) about 3 millions kangaroos are hunted every year; 4) only 30 Californian condors were left in the world; 5) millions buffalos were destroyed by now; 6) over 40000 monkeys are caught every year; 7) about 300 dolphins and sea turtles are poisoned by water pollution every day.
T.
Well, the contradiction between man and nature are really very dramatic. But is there anybody who does something to make the life of animals better?
P7.
In 1949 scientists examined the living conditions of animals, birds and insects. They made the list of rare and disappearing living things and named in Red Data Book. The colour red is a danger signal understandable to all people in the world . The red colour means no passage, stop ! The colour red is one of blood and life . The first volumes of Red Data Book were published in 1966 . In our country the book appeared in 1974. This is unusual book. Its pages are of different colours. Animals which need immediate help are placed on the red pages. Those which number is reducing are on the yellow pages. Green pages are for animals which are already saved.
T
. Environmental protection is an universal concern. That’s why a serious measure should be taken to create a system of ecological security . Do you know any international organizations trying to solve this problem?
P1
. I know Greenpeace . This international organization fights with all kinds of nature protection all over the world.
P2.
There is Green party in Europe.
T
. You are right .They are protecting wildlife , plants and trees. And what about you, students? What can you do to save our nature ? 3
