SAVE THE PLANET

More and  more  people  all over  the  world realize that global warming is real and a serious problem. Almost everyone agrees that the Earth’s climate

has  begun to change, as reported by scientists and  experts in newspapers,                                 TV  programs, and  magazines. The  summers are  hotter. The  winters are

warmer. As a result, glaciers have  become smaller. If this continues, there could  be water shortages in the  future in Europe and  the  Americas. In ad- dition, scientists believe deserts will grow much larger in some parts of the

world, which means areas of Africa, China, and the Middle East will have                                            

little or no water to grow food. Storms will become worse, too. Although we haven’t seen many big changes yet, our children and our children’s children

could live in a very different world. They could face many problems in the                                            

future.

Governments  around  the  world  have  taken  action  to  fight  pollution                                    

and  global warming. Unfortunately, they need to do more. In addition, big countries like  the  US,  China, and  Russia continue to  pollute heavily. All

governments must take action with new laws  to protect the  environment.                                   They must research and  develop new technologies, such as wind  and  solar

power. They must pollute less and reuse resources.

Individuals can take action now, though. Here’s how:

y Don’t use plastic bags at the  supermarket, especially if you use the  bag only once and throw it away.

y Take a cloth bag that you can use again and again.

y Take  public transportation like  trains and  buses as much as possible.

Even better, walk.


y Use less water at home. For example, when  you brush your teeth, turn off the  water.

y Turn off  the  lights, computer, TV,  and  so on when  you’re not  using them. This will decrease your electricity consumption.

y Recycle newspapers, aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and so on.

y Organize or participate in a clean-up day  in your neighborhood. Help clean  the  parks, beaches, and land in the  area.

2) What could  happen if glaciers continue to melt?

3) What do scientists believe about areas in Africa, China, and the Middle

East?

4) How will global warming affect storms?

5) Have  governments taken enough action to  fight pollution and  global warming?

6) What kind of laws must be created? How about research?

7) According to the  article, what action can people  take now?

 

                                6. speaking

Do ex. 5, p. 137.

 

7. summary

Discuss any questions you like.

1) Are  you  concerned about  the  present state  of  the  environment?

Why / not?

2) Is  global warming just a myth to  scare people, as  some  people  say?

Why / not?

3)  Will the   lives of  our  children (or  our  children’s children) be  more difficult  because of  the  damage wrought on  the  environment  now? Why / not?

4)  Will humans become  extinct because we have  irreparably ruined the environment?

5)  What environmental problems have  you  heard about in  the  news  re- cently?

6) How  often  do  you  think  about the  environment?  Is  it  enough?

Why / not?

7)  If temperatures continue to rise year after year, how will  our  lives  be different in the  near future? How about long term, say 100 years from now?

8)  What do you  do (or have  you  done)  to reduce global warming? Please explain.

9)  In order to protect the environment, your city raises its tax by 25 % for all citizens. How would  you feel? What would  you do?
