         We’ve got an unusual lesson today. It will be a kind of journey to the past, present and future of our Planet.  Environmental protection is a great concern nowadays. And our aim is to answer one question: “Who are we? The Friends or the Enemies of the Planet?” You can see three groups here. They are: “The Historians”, “The Ecologists” and the members of “Greenpeace”. It is the ecological society, you know.

        “The Historians” will tell us about “Man’s life in the Past”, “The Ecologists” will present us the most urgent ecological problems, “Greenpeace” will discuss the ways of going out of the difficult situation.

        During the lesson you should full fill the table which can help you to answer this question. Be careful, please. Listen to your reports attentively.

“Ecological problems”

T:        The second group is “The Ecologists”. The members of this group are going to report about the ecological situation in the world and in our settlement. We’ll learn about global problems we are facing today.

• Air pollution.
• Water pollution.
• Wildlife.
• Radiation.
• Ozone holes.
• Litter.

(Доклады экологов об основных экологических проблемах) См. Приложение 1.

T:        Before “The Ecologists” present their point of view I’d like to show a video. It is Michael Jackson’s “Earth Song” and the girl’s translation of it.

“How to Help the Earth.”

T:        We have learnt about the main ecological problems. We are doing harm not only to Nature but also to our own health. What should we do to change this dangerous situation? It seems to me that the members of the environmental group can help us.

Group3:        We will be the enemies of the Earth in future, if we are not following these rules.

(Раздают листовки с 10 правилами, которые должны соблюдать люди, чтобы быть друзьями планеты Земля.) См. Приложение 2.

4. T:        I’d like to present you “10 rules”.

I hope you like our lesson and learn a lot of interesting things.  I want you to follow these rules and then our Planet will be beautiful and clean. And people will be kind and healthy. See you later, good-bye.

Приложение 1.

1.        The term "ecology" emerged at the end of the twenties century as one of the most popular and most important aspect of biology. The word comes from Greek "oikos", meaning "household, home, or place to live".

2.        Man appeared million years ago. But he was able to change the environment of the Earth. Nature was the source of Man’s life in ancient times. For thousand of years people lived in harmony with environment. They took things necessary for life only. They worshiped for Nature because they were afraid of its whims such as drought, fires of forests or unsuccessful hunting. All of this could lead to starvation.

3.        Interrelations between the humans and their environment cause a lot of problems nowadays. And the most urgent problem is an ecological one. Man like any other living organism depends on what Nature provides: water, oxygen, food and shelter. On the other hand all sorts of human activity make the environment unhealthy.  The contradiction between man and Nature are dramatic. The main problems are: air pollution, water pollution, safety of nuclear and hydraulic power station, radioactive and other poisonous materials, disposal of wastes.

4.        But with the development of civilization man's interference in Nature increases. It seems that natural riches are unlimited. Man considers that he is stronger than Nature and he doesn’t depend on it. He even decides to subjugate Nature with the help of technique. Large cities with thousand of smoky industrial enterprises appear all over the world. The products of their activity pollute the air, the water, the ground. It leads to destruction of forests and to disappearance of many animals, pieces of fish, birds and plants. The situation is serious.

5.        Every year world industry pollutes the atmosphere with about one million tons of dust and other harmful substances. Pollution is hanging like a brown cloud over large cities. Dirt and smoke are pouring from cars and factories. Pollution spoils the air we breathe, and it harms our health. Many cities suffer from smog. They have dirty air. It smells bad and it looks ugly. Pollution is a health problem because it's hurting people's lungs.

6.        The pollution of the world's ocean is the result of man's careless interaction with Nature, a sign of ecological crises. But human beings ignore and misunderstand the importance of oceans. Some factories produce liquid wastes and dump them into rivers and lakes. This problem includes oil pollution which causes great damage of coasts and wild life.

7.        During the last two centuries due to the development of industry human has transformed the environment radically. Satellite observations of the Earth have revealed that sixty per cent of land surface is damaged by industrial and other human activities. The world has over nine million square kilometers of forests. There are a lot of trees and also a lot of different species of trees among them. But they can disappear. Every day we see paper and cardboard have been made from wood. We see different kinds of wood which are used for furniture and others. Every year over one hundred square kilometers of forest is so badly damaged. And all territory of forests on the Earth will be destroyed in fifty years.

8.        Animals are only food and fur for many people. Fur is still a part of the way of life. Fur trade is one of the oldest businesses in the world. Fur is a symbol of luxury wealth and success. For others it's a cruel and stupid business. The industry gets fur in two ways. The first way is getting it from hunters who kill wild animals. The second one is getting fur and food from farmers. They keep animals in special farms and then kill them. It is very cruel.

9.        Chernobyl', Ukraine, 1986. The greatest disaster in the world. The problem facing the nuclear industry is the storage of nuclear wastes which remain toxic for seven hundred to one million years. Safe storage for geological periods of time is problematic; meanwhile nuclear wastes accumulate, threatening the integrity of the environment. Radiation and other poisonous materials present health and safety problems.

10.        Ozone layer is a region of the atmosphere that shields the Earth from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. In the 1980s scientists found that human activity effected badly on it. It was damaged by the increasing use of industrial chemicals which were used in fridges, air conditioning, packing materials, aerosols sprays. Nowadays no life can survive without this layer. There is a growing ozone hole above Antarctica. It can increase skin cancer and cataracts, reduce immune system responses, interfere with lives of plants and animals.

11.        Litter is garbage like food, paper and cans on the ground. It is a big problem not only in small cities but also in big towns. People don't care about environment. They drop papers and something like these everywhere, but not in the rubbish bin. It makes cities look dirty and ugly. Rotten food and garbage attract birds and animals which often carry many diseases.

12.        We live on the Earth. This planet is our home. We want it to be clean and new. We want to see blue sees, green trees, clear sky. We want to breathe clean air. If you care about your planet don't make it dirty. Don't leave plastic bags, bottles, cans, papers in the streets, parks, forests and on the beaches. Pick up the litter if you see it. Remember that the future is in your hands!

13.        Can we save “Life”? Can we save the quality of life necessary for future generations? When we are sick we try to take care of ourselves. There is nobody who can take care of the Earth that is sick because of our action. Can we do something? Yes, we can! We are the only life form that is able to destroy out life support system. But we are sensible beings and we can maintain life on the Earth for many generations to come.
