Step 5 Future Discussion
Task 1 Interview

“Dear experts, I’m a journalist from Chinese. I’d like to know…”
Task 2 Creative Thinking
A visitor to the Earth Summit said that, “When I listened to the speakers, I realised that
many of the things I do every day are bad for the environment…”Did you do anything bad for the environment? What will do to protect the environment?
Task 3 Debate
As we know the Earth Summit is a place to find solutions for the future. Some people say that money can solve all problems, but some say knowledge. Which one do you agree? Money or Knowledge? Ss will be divided into two groups. See which group can win the debate.

Teaching Procedures：
Step 1. Lead- in
T: Hello, everybody! As we all know, the earth is the only hoe of all creatures. Do you think it is beautiful? Yes. I agree with you. Can you name some places of interest in the world? Quite right. We have a lot of places of interest: the Great Wall, the West Lake, Zhangjiajie, Jiuzhaigou and so on. Do you think it is necessary and important for man to protect the earth? Yes, of course. Have you ever thought that the earth is also very dirty, .very ugly? Believe it or not, the earth is getting dirtier and dirtier. Look at the pictures in page 65,please
Step 2 Warming up
T: Now tell me what you can see in the pictures
But now the earth is being seriously polluted; the trees are being cut down; green hills are becoming less and less. The leaves are falling off the trees. Also, different smokes and fogs are polluting the air. Besides, waste water from factories and plants are dirtying the water, too. Lakes and rivers are no longer safe for fishes, what’s worse, the oceans are being polluted too! As a result people no longer enjoy a happy life as before. The earth is in danger!
Rivers have been polluted, rubbish is everywhere, factory chimneys have given off too much smoke causing lots if avid rain all over the world, which has damaged not only crops, but also plants. Besides, men himself also have done a great dead of harm to the environment.
OK. According to the pictures, answer the following questions
1. What is the biggest problem facing the earth? Why do you think so?
I think water pollution is the most serious problem facing the earth because we need clean drinking eater to survive and because animals and plants must have clean water, too.” If water is polluted. People will not be able to get clean water to drink; therefore, many people will get sick, It’s terrible.
2. What causes the problems?
I think it is because people pay no attention to our environment. They pour water into rivers, lakes and seas without cleaning it
The air pollution is caused by the factories. People build factories to develop the industry, but they never pay attention to controlling the pollution. The harmful smoke should be made harmless before it goes into the air, but few factories would like to d so because this will cost much.
3. What can we do to solve the problem?
I think our government should pay more attention to environmental protection, They should check the factories as often as possible to make sure they don’t pour waste water into rivers or lakes and make sure they don’t let harmful smoke go into the air.
4…What do you expect to learn in this unit?
I expect to learn more about the problems facing the earth and what we can do to solve the problems. or I expect to learn words that I can use to talk about nature, ecology and the environment
5 How will you use what you have learnt in your own life?
I will use the words and expressions I’ve learnt to discuss the isssues in the unit with my classmates .or I will use what I have learnt about the environment to change my behaviour.

A scientist
A local citizen
A local leader

…
…

Ｔ: Today we are here to decide whether we should burn the coal. Please tell us whatever you think.
Ｓ１: I think we should burn the coal. Because we need to develop our area. We must make sure that our citizens have jobs and that our children can get good education. As a businessman, I understand the importance of economic development. It’s clear that we need energy and money to make our lives better. The coal is our only chance. We must use it.
Ｓ２: But burning coal causes too much pollution to our environment. I t pollutes the air badly. If nothing is done to stop its pollution to our earth, then we will have no fresh air to breathe .
Ｓ３：Yes, I quite agree, I think we shouldn’t burn the coal now. It would be better if we spend more money on science to find a better way of using the coal. Once we know how to burn it without polluting the environment, we can make full use of it.
S4: That sounds quite reasonable, but it’s clear that if we want develop our area as soon as possible, we need money. How can we get money? We can only burn the coal to make factories work to make the money. If we stop using the coal now, how shall we continue our production and development ?…
Ｓ５：OK. All that you say are reasonable. I believe that we must try our best to find a better way to use the coal. Meanwhile, we must make sure that the factories which burn the coal take measures to stop polluting the environment.
