Do you think people should protect the environment? What should they do?
People should understand that the planet needs their immediate help if they want to survive and they should take measures to protect nature.
First of all, they should understand that natural resources are limited and we can’t use them uncontrollably. Nothing can last forever. When you are aware of that you ought to start to do something. You should recycle things and use gas, electricity and water more economically. People should use public transport instead of private cars to reduce air pollution. They should recycle paper and cardboard to save trees.
They should join and support various international organizations and green parties. If governments also wake up to what is happening, perhaps we’ll be able to avoid the disaster that threatens the natural world and all of us with it.
What would you like to ask your British friend about measures that are taken to protect the environment in Britain?
What measures are taken by your government to protect rare animals and birds?
Are there any civil societies in Britain that aim at nature protection?
What does your government do to protect marine species?
Do your mass media share knowledge on nature protection?
Do the British actively participate in protecting actions?
A friend of yours wants to develop a programme to protect the city where he lives. Give him a piece of advice.
If I were you I would carry out a research on the use of private cars and their bad influence on the atmosphere and then, with the results, I would draw people’s attention to the problem.
I think shooting a 2-minute video about animals in danger and people’s help to them would be a good idea too.
4. An ideal Eco-House contest is held in the country and you want your school to enter it. Give some "green ideas" about houses.
People aren’t going to change their habits just to save the environment. They need to see the benefits for themselves. Here are some ideas to make your house ecological:
§ install underfloor heating;
§ buy furniture made from recycled materials;
§ use water-based paints with natural pigments;
§ if renovating or building, insist that your builder reduces waste and recycles rather than sending material to landfill;
§ consider investing in solar panels;
§ choose wood-framed windows rather than plastic or metal;
§ replace old-style bulbs with energy-saving ones;
§ monitor your electricity consumption;
§ fit a water-saving showerhead;

§ reduce, reuse, recycle.
CARD № 4
Let s talk about Belarus.
Let’s talk about our country. What can you tell me about our Motherland?
Belarus is my Homeland. It is a country with unique history and rich cultural heritage. Officially it is called the Republic of Belarus, a sovereign independent state with its own government, constitution, state emblem, flag and anthem. Belarus is situated nearly in the centre of Europe and borders on Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Russia and the Ukraine. The territory of Belarus is 207.6 thousand square kilometres. Its population is about 10 million people. The largest cities are Minsk, the capital, Gomel, Vitebsk, Mogilev, Grodno and Brest. Belarus is a country of rivers, lakes and forests. The longest river is the Dnieper. The largest lake is Lake Naroch. The largest forest is Belovezhskaya Pushcha. The climate of Belarus is temperate and mild. My country is a developed industrial state. Its enterprises produce tractors and automobiles, motor-cycles, TV-sets and many other goods. Beautiful Belarusian scenery and unique history attract a lot of tourists. There are a lot of famous people among Belarusians: writers and poets, politicians and cosmonauts, artists and sportsmen. They are historic figures and our contemporaries whom we are proud of.
What parts of Belarus have you visited?
I have visited a few towns in Belarus such as Minsk, Mogilev, Grodno but most of all I was impressed by my visit to Belovezhskaya Pushcha. As you know there is the Residence of Ded Moroz (Slavic Santa Clause) in Belovezhskaya Pushcha and we saw European Bisons there.
