T: Now a minute of relaxation. Listen to music by Louis Armstrong “A wonderful world” and relax.

a) T: How do think what the cause of all these disasters is?

P: I think it may be bad ecology.

T: What is the cause of bad ecology?

P: Pollutions.

T: How do you think a human is guilty?

P: Yes.

T: Yes, we are guilty. We develop our economy, industry and pollute the nature. As a result the climate changes. They are the reasons for catastrophes on the planet. The world changes under the influence of people. We must save our planet as on the first picture but we do as on the second one.

Slide 12

T: The temperature on the Earth is becoming higher. It is the cause of the global warming. This process leads us to a drought and a flood and as the result - famine.

What is the difference between “cause” and “reason”? Watch the video.

(Video 3)

Slide 13

Сause – makes something happen and it shows the RESULT of something:

Global warming is caused by rising levels of carbon dioxide.
Reason – explains WHY something happened or WHY we did something:

The reason for rising levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) is our desire to live beyond our means.

I think that the prepositions “OF” and “FOR” will help you.

The preposition “OF” is usually used after the word “CAUSE” and “FOR” –after the word “REASON”.

Let`s do the exercise number 1, page 97. Now we shall start it and at home you will finish it. Open your copybooks write down the date. Today is Wednesday, the eleventh of February.

P: A man is between the first and the second parts. He separates these worlds. The world without people is natural. People have changed the world. People have changed natural jungles to stone jungles.
