Emu was sad. He could run as swiftly as the wind on his long legs but try as he
might, he could not fly. Bowerbird, too felt sad. He could fly high and far
with his strong wings, but he could not run at all. “How lucky you are,”
signed. Emu, “ to fly that!”
Bowerbird was surprised: “You are the
lucky one, for see how you run”.
The two birds thought and thought, and at
last agreed upon a fine plan.
“I’ll teach you, “they both
said”, and you teach me!”
That
is what they did. After many lessons and much practice, Emu became the only
bird in his family who could fly. Bowerbird discovered that running was not so

III.
Summary
T : Of course, pollution is an
complicated as serious problem. Automobiles are polluting the air but they
provide transportation for people.
Factories pollute the air and the water but
they provide jobs for people and produce necessary goods. Scientists and
engineers can find the ways to reduce pollution from cars and factories. Each
person, who loves his native land, each of us must take care about our planet
and its nature.

P2: What air pollutants do you know?
How do you solve the
problem with water pollution?
T: Thank you.
II. Main part of the lesson.
T: Today we’ll speak about pollution in our life. It is caused by
various substances.
There are toxic water and air pollutants. Other forms of pollution are
very dangerous for the health of people, for example: light pollution,
industrial pollution, “ holes” in the ozone layer and nuclear pollution. People
will have different diseases: allergy, asthma, breathing problems and others if
they don’t think about nature. That’s why our task is to stop pollution in our
life.
1. Game “Group the words “.
T: Group these words to the themes “ Toxic water
pollutants” and “Toxic air pollutants”: smog and acid rain, nitrates, nuclear
wastes, diesel smoke, aerosol, oil-spills, sewage, dust, gases of vehicles,
chemicals.
2. Pre – reading activities.
a) Word association.
T: What are your associations with the word
combination “a nuclear power station”?
b) While – reading.
T: Look through the text and complete the following sentences.

c)Reading the text “Explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power station”.
On 26 April 1986, a disaster occurred
at reactor no. 4 of the nuclear power station in Chernobyl,
Ukraine, in the former USSR
which has been widely regarded as the worst accident in the history of nuclear
power. The accident, caused by a sudden surge of power, destroyed the reactor
and released massive amounts of radioactive substances into the environment.
To stop the fire and prevent
any further release of fusion products, boron and sand were poured on the
reactor from the air. In addition, the damaged unit was enclosed in a temporary
concrete sarcophagus to prevent further escape of radiation. In order to reduce
radioactive contamination at and nearby the plant, a pine forest was cut down
on the territory of approximately 1 mile. The three other units of the four- unit
Chernobyl
nuclear power station were subsequently restarted. The nuclear power
authorities presented an initial report on the accident at the International
Atomic Energy ( IAEA) meeting in Vienna,
Australia, in
August 1986.
After the accident, access to
the area in a 30 – kilometer ( 18- mile) radius around the plant was
restricted; only people who dealt with the consequences of the accident and
operated the undamaged units were allowed. The population evacuated from the
most heavily contaminated areas numbered from 116, 000 in 1986 up to 230, 000
people in subsequent years.
d)After – reading activities.
T: Read the following summary and
underline the correct words.
On 26 April 1986, an accident /
incident occurred at the nuclear power station in Chernobyl. The accident damaged / destroyed
the reactor and released massive amounts of radioactive materials into the
nature / environment. To stop the fire boron and coal / sand were poured on the
reactor from the air. After the accident, access to the area in a 30 –
kilometer radius around the plant / factory was restricted.
e)Discussion.
( Question and answer).
1. Have you ever heard about the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant?
2. Why is it prohibited to visit so called 30 km zone around the plant?
3. Is it a tragedy only for Ukraine or for the whole world as
well?
4. It is known that the Chernobyl
nuclear power plant is not operated nowadays. Do you agree with this decision?
5. What must be done to prevent such accidents in the future?
3. Group drawing.
T: Pupils, you must look through a text and participate in making a
drawing together that express a group opinion about pollution of nature .
4. Project work.

IV. Home assignment: to write a
composition about environmental problems
in
the place where you
live.
The topic: Environment and substainable
development.
“
Man – the child of nature”.
The aim of the lesson: to learn new words; to develop
pupils’ skills in
reading and speaking ;
to take care of nature.
The methods and receptions: game “Guess”,
discussion, match .
The equipment: text for reading,
pictures of nature.

Procedure
I. Introduction.
T: The topic of our lesson is
“Man – the child of nature”.The motto is the words by Michael Jackson from his “Earth Song”.
a) Warming –up..
T: What about animals?
What about elephants? Have we lost their trust?
What do you think about the
ozone hole? Is it dangerous for our life?
What about acid rain and flood?
Our lesson will be constructed
on the basis of contrast. We’re going to set off some facts against others;
we’ll try and prove that man is really the child of nature.
At the end of the lesson we’ll visit countries and become witnesses of
distress created by man and his technology.
Let’s start our lesson with a
poem about nature’s beauty and contrast it with the words by M. Jackson:
Leisure
What is this life, full of
care,
We have no time to stand and
stare? –
No time to stand beneath the
boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and
cows.
No time to see when woods we
pass,
Where squirrels hide their
nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad
daylight,
Streams full of stars, like
skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty’s
glance,
And watch her feet, how they
can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth
can
Enrich that smile her eyes
began.
A poor life this is if, full
of care,
We
have no time to stand and stare.
II. Main part of the lesson.
Pre –reading activities.
T: You’re going to read the text about the environment development. Look
through the list of words and consult the dictionary to know their meanings.
1.Vocabulary presentation.
Explosive ,civilization ,to shape , to transform ,to log ,to drain ,
a marsh ,to embank ,to dam ,significant ,an expansion ,
an emission ,the ozone layer .
2a) Reading .
T: Read the text. Put the paragraphs (A- C) in the correct order.
Environment and substainable development
The industrial revolution
followed by a near explosive growth in the population has changed the face of
the planet. Scientists predict that the population will reach 9 billion by
2050. The agricultural and industrial growth as well as urbanization has also
severely damaged the environment. If the environment is damaged, people as well
as flora and fauna will suffer. We see around us today the growing evidence of
man-made harm in many regions of the Earth: dead and polluted water bodies,
acid rain, the ozone hole, climate changes, deforestation, and extinction of
species.
S Since the beginning of civilization, man has tried
to control the environment in which he lives, to shape it over even transform
it to suit his needs. He has logged timber and cleared forests, drained marshes,
embanked and damaged rivers, in order to provide himself with shelter,
livelihood and safety. The impact of human activities on the environment was
not significant as long as the human population was small and the means were
limited.
The expansion of
agriculture and industrial activities has increased greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions. This gas has caused a hole in the ozone layer around the Earth.
While the increase in GHG leads to global warming, the hole in the ozone layer
over the Antarctic allows harmful cosmic rays to reach the surface of our
planet, which has caused a higher incidence of cancer.
b) Game “Match”.
T: Look through the text and find the words to match the definitions
given below.
1. To make the water or liquid in something disappear.
2. To stop the water in a river or stream from flowing by building a
special wall.
3. To build a wide wall of earth or stones to stop water from flooding
an area or to support a road or railway.
4. To completely change the appearance, form or character of something,
especially in a way that improves the situation.
5. A gas or other
substance that is sent into the air.
6. When something increases in size, range, amount.
3. Discussion.
T: 1. What is nature?
2. Can you compare a
relationship between man and nature in early times and
then?
3. Do new discoveries and
inventions, new technologies make a dramatic
impact on the planet which is
our habitat?
4. Must man, being Nature’s
child, grow up fast enough to be able to protect
nature? How?
4. Conference “The world’s youth
environmental organizations”
T: Through we are neither scientists, nor ecologists, we will try and
hold a conference dedicated to the environmental protection.
P1: I’m glad to greet you, ladies and gentlemen! Today’s conference is
dedicated to the environmental protection. You’ll have a chance to represent
your organization and get acquainted with the others. Our goal is to intensify
your activities and if it’s necessary to combine our efforts.
Each organization is going to represent its emblem and answer the
questions.
At the end of the conference we’ll pass a resolution taking into
consideration all your offers. So, let’s start with the organization “Kids for
a clean environment”.
P2: Our organization is the world’s largest youth environmental
organization. This is our emblem. Membership is free to children and teachers.
P3: What’s your mission?
P2: Our mission is to provide information on environmental issues for
children, to encourage and facilitate youth’s involvement with effective
environmental action.
P4: When did you start?
P2: In 1989.
P5: Is your organization big?
P2: Today there are more than 300, 000 individual members. But the first
club had only six members.
P1: Now let’s remember “Greenpeace”.
P6: “Greenpeace” has been campaigning against environmental degradation
since 1971.
P7: What do you do?
P6: We protect the environment from damage caused by industrial
processes or military activities.
P8: How can you protect it from damage caused by military activities?
P6: We prevent governments from testing nuclear weapons.
P9: How do you protect the environment from damage caused by industrial
processes?
P6: We prevent companies from pouring poisonous chemicals into the sea.
We also try to save whales and other sea animals from being killed.
5.Game “Guess the word”.
1) to make air, water, soil dangerously dirty and not suitable for
people to use (to pollute);
2) surrounding ( environment);
3) the branch of science connected with the interrelationship of
organisms and their environments ( ecology);
4) to continue to exist; to outline ( to survive);
5) a substance that kills or destroys ( poison);
6) involving the whole world ( global).
III Summary.
T: My advice is very simple: if you really want to do something to
protect the environment, just do it, don’t wait till anybody else will do it
for you. “You must be the change you will wish to see in the world,” said
Mahatma Gandhi. Remember his words.

Procedure
I. Greeting.
T: Good morning, children. I’m glad to see you. Our today’s lesson is
devoted to nature. At the end of the lesson we’d be able to speak about
pollution of nature and
to present your projects on these theme.
a) Introductory talk.
- What do you think about pollution of nature?
- How do you protect it?
- Do you plant trees or cut down
forests?
- Do you agree that nature is our home and people are its brothers and sisters?
II. Main part of the lesson.
T: It’s a terrible thing when man – the child kills his mother – nature.
This process goes on every minute. Therefore we can’t be indifferent to it.
Having prepared some material about this topic you have definitely made your
contribution into the process of nature’s rescue.
a) Project presentations.
Group 1: We’ re going to
tell you about some wrecks which sank around the British coast.
While listening to our narration fill in this chart.

Wrecks
The Mary Rose sank near Portsmouth on 19 th July
1545. She was carrying men and guns. It was a great disaster but, in fact, the
Mary Rose is only one of thousands of wrecks in the sea around Britain.
A lot of the ships were carrying gold.
In October 1779, the Lutine –
that’s L- U-T-I-N-E, sank near the coast of Holland. She was carrying gold.
The Association was carrying
gold and silver coins when she sank. The Association went down near the
Scillies on October 21 st
1707.
But not all ships were carring
gold and silver. The Earl of Abergavenny was carrying a mixed cargo of food and
clothes when she went down in February 1805. She sank near Poole.
That’s P- double O- L-E.
There are not so many disasters
now. But modern cargoes can be very dangerous. The Torrey
Canyon covered the southwest coast of England
with oil. She sank on 18 th March 1967. The oil from the Torrey Canyon
killed thousands of birds and fish.
In September 1984 a very dangerous cargo
went down near the coast of Belgium.
The Mont Louis was carrying nuclear waste. She sank after a crash with a ferry.
Group 2: Men have always
been hunters. Thousands of animals have become extinct. But people have saved
some animals. Now we’re going to tell you about them. Your task will be to draw
a graph to show what has happened to the animals.
You may use different colours to
match certain animals : 1) red is for tarpan;
2) green is for aurochs; 3) violet is for dodo; 4) pink is for Arabian
Oryx; 5) yellow is for orangutan; 6) blue is for American bison.
Endangered species
When men from Europe arrived on the island of Mauritius
they found a large bird there. They called it the Dodo. That was in 1507. In 1681, someone
killed the last dodo.
Until the 18 th century there
were millions of American bison. In 1890, there were only 500. Fortunately, the
government stopped hunting at the beginning of the twentieth century. Since then
the number of bison has risen to 25, 000.
The auroch, or European bison,
was not as lucky as its American brother. The last aurochs died in 1627.
The tarpan, a wild European
horse, went the same way as the aurochs in 1851.
The Arabian Oryx was almost
extinct in 1961 and it is still in danger. Since 1961 the number of oryx has
risen but there are still only 80
in the world.
Many animals are in danger
today. The number of orangutans has fallen to only 10,000.
We must save these animals. We
can do it. We have done it with American bison. We don’t want any more dodos.
b) Discussion.
T: Children, let’s discuss on these statements.
1. We have become more dependent on chemicals.
2. The accident at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant caused nuclear
pollution of a vast area.
3. Drinking water in the region became polluted with fertilizers and
pesticides.
c) Work in pairs.
1. What caused the water pollution?
2. What are the consequences of the disaster?
3. What should be done to protect water in the area?
d) Speaking.
T: Everybody knows that pollution
refers to the contamination of the environment with harmful wastes. Factories
and plants pour their waste into rivers and lakes, the birds leave these
habitats, fish and many plants die. We should
continue this story about
pollution of nature..
III. Summary.
T: My advice is very simple: if
you really want to do something to protect the environment, just do it, don’t
wait till anybody else will do it for you. “You must be the change you wish to
see in the world,” said Mahatma Gandhi. Remember his words.You get the
following marks …
IV. Home assignment: to put the verbs
in brackets into the correct tense form and voice ( ex.12, p.139).
The topic of the lesson: Animals in danger.
The aim of the lesson: to learn grammar material, to
develop pupils’
speaking and reading skills; to
discuss
some environmental problems; to teach
pupils to love and to protect nature.
The methods and receptions: role- playing, discussion.
The equipment: text for the listening,
photo of nature.
The type of the lesson: The lesson of travelling.
Procedure
I.Introduction
T: Good morning, children! Our
lesson is devoted to some ecological problems.
But before we start discussing them I want to give you some information
about ecology. Ecology is a science that studies the relationship between all
forms of life on our planet with its environment. Many territories, water
basins and the atmosphere of the Earth are polluted with all kinds of
technological, agricultural, chemical, nuclear and other wastes. The intensive
development of science and industry in the 20 th century has made the pollution
of our environment a global problem that should be solved by all means.
a) Introductory talk.
1. What is ecology?
2. What does ecology study?
3. What language does the word “ecology” derive from?
II. Warming-up.
T:There are more than thirty million species of animals in the world.
Every year some of these species disappear and we’ll never see them again. But
all of them are important, aren’t they?
P1: Animals make the world a richer place to live in.
P2: Animals give us meat to eat and milk to drink.
III. Main part of the lesson.
1. Speaking.
T: It’s true. But there are some species of animals that face extinction
in the wild nowadays. Why does this process take place?
P1: I think some species disappear naturally.
P2: Some animals die because of changes in weather.
2. Grammar presentation.
T: We’ll learn second conditional if. The Past Tense in the if – clause
often refers to something unreal, something imaginary. We use the past tense in
the if- clause, and would / wouldn’t + verb in the main clause. We use were
instead of was as the past tense of the auxiliary verb to be in a singular
form.
Example, If I were a world
leader, I would introduce laws to reduce pollution.
3. Role- playing.
T: Most countries try to protect endangered animals. They don’t allow
bringing any products made of such animals into their territories. Now imagine
that you are in London
airport. A customs officer is checking a traveler for illegal goods that he is
bringing into Britain.
A – a customs officer, B - a
traveller
A: Anything to declare?
B: No. I don’t think so.
A: I see. Can you open your
suitcases, please?
B: Yes, of course.
A: What’s this, sir?
B: It’s an ivory chess set.
It’s a gift for my uncle.
A: Don’t you know it’s illegal
to bring products made of ivory into Britain?
B: No, I didn’t know that.
A: It’s against the law to
bring any products made of endangered animals into the country. Do you have
anything else like this?
B: Yes – I bought a snakeskin
belt for my daughter and a crocodile skin purse for my mother.
A: I see. Please come with me.
T: What illegal things did the traveler have?
4. Reading.
T: Read the title of the text and think of questions you might want to
ask about
the zoo.
Unusual zoo
Would you like to visit a
rainforest, explore the bottom of an ocean and still be home in time for
dinner? Well, if you live in Omaha,
USA, you can!
The Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha
is like no other zoo. There are lots of wild and endangered animals here but
they live in an environment exactly like their own.
The zoo includes the world’s
largest indoor rainforest, known as the Lied Jungle. You can cross rope
bridges, walk through caves and admire wonderful waterfalls. Leopards and
pythons move through the bushes, monkeys jump from tree to tree and birds fly
above your head. The zoo is home to many species including bears, giraffes,
deer, jaguars and pumas.
Next to the Lied Jungle is the
Kingdom of the Seas Aquarium. Here you can see penguins sliding off ice cliffs
into the cold water below. Take a walk along the 25 – metre glass tunnel which
runs through a big tank, with a wide variety of fish swimming around you.
The zoo is open every day of
the year except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.
a) Work in pairs.
T: 1. Where is the zoo located?
2. How is the zoo called?
3. What animals can you see
there?
4. Why is the zoo unusual?
T: You see that animals can live in different zoos. Do you think that
all species of animals should be kept in zoos?
5. Match .
Match the parts of the sentences. Complete them with the correct form of
the verbs in brackets.
1. If you … ( not / to use ) petrol in their cars …
2. The world … ( to be) a safer place…
3. If you … ( to listen ) to the weather forecast …
4. If there … ( to be ) more trees …
5. Life … ( to be) so unbearable …
6. Many species of animals … ( to

c) … you … ( to take ) your umbrella with you.
d) … the air we breathe … ( to be ) cleaner.
e) … they … ( not / to produce ) so much carbon dioxide.
f) … if we … ( to reduce ) the global warming.
6. Writing.
T: Have you ever heard about sea
turtles? They are also in danger. On the board there are some prompts to
write supporting sentences on what can be done to help sea turtles not to
become extinct.
Prompts:
need our protection;
endangered species;
make sure turtles breed;
babies survive;
