“Ecological Problems” (проблемы экологии) or “Environmental Problems” (проблемы окружающей среды)
We’ll discuss the environment situation in the world and the burning ecological problems that we have to face with.
Мы обсудим главные экологические проблемы, с которыми столкнулся мир.
Китайская народная мудрость гласит:
“The frog doesn’t t drink up the pond in which he lives”
«Даже лягушка не пьет из пруда, в котором она живет»
А индийская пословица говорит:
“Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.”
(«Только когда последнее дерево умрет, а последняя река будет отравлена и последняя рыбка буде поймана, только тогда, по-видимому, люди поймут, что они не могут есть деньги.»
Главная задача – познакомиться с новой лексикой и составить «логические цепочки».

Task 3. Make up five logical chains.
ОБРАЗЕЦ:
1. One of the main environmental problems is water pollution.
It happens because oil is being spilled into rivers.
We would be able to solve this problem if antipollution equipment was installed and pollution was reduced.
