We should do something about global warming. Because it could have many negative effects on the earth. With the temperature increasing, the polar ice caps eventually would melt, causing sea levels to rise by several meters. Coastal and low-lying cities would be submerged. Some scientists predict severe storms, droughts, famines, the spread of diseases and the destructions of species. WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING?What shall we do in our daily life?Task 1:Skim the first letter, and answer the questions below:1. Who is the writer?2. What is the purpose of the email? / What are the two concerns of the email?1. Who is the writer?2.

Getting some suggestions for what he can do about global warming ; Task 2: Read the second email, and answer the question:Do Earth Care agree with Ouyang Guangs opinion that individuals can have no effect?No, Earth Care dose not agree.Task 3: Now scan the letter and list Earth Cares suggestions in the chart on P30, and discuss whether you can carry out each suggestion.

Many of these become litter. 2.4.5 trillion butts are littered every year in the world.3.Butts are ugly.4.Butts contain toxic chemicals. These get into the water supply. These decrease the quality of the water and endanger living things.5.Butts take up to 5 years to break down, so the toxic chemicals add up to a great amount.Evidence:Third para.Second point of the argument EvidencePlastic bags are a danger to the environment.1.Plastic bags are made from non-renewable resources. If they are not recycled, these resources are lost to us.2.In china, 2 billion plastic bags are used every day.3.Plastic bags last from 20 to 1,000 years in the environment.Fourth para.Point of viewThe environment would be less polluted if we cleaned up cigarette butts and plastic bags. The best solution would be not to smoke or use plastic bags at all.AssignmentIn groups of four, make a poster for the school that tells the students various ways they can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.Unit 4 Global WarmingUnit 4 Global WarmingSave the earth!ListeningPre-listening:Read Exercise 1 together: Read the statements below and tick the ones you agree with.fossil fuels; renewable; nuclear powerWhat are the meaning of the following words ?Chernobyl 切尔诺贝利切尔诺贝利 (苏联乌克兰北部(苏联乌克兰北部城市)城市)First listening: Listen and decide which statement Professor Chen does not agree with. 1.Well have to stop using fossil fuels.2.About 90% of the worlds energy comes from fossil fuels.3.We can replace fossil fuels with renewable sources of energy.4.Nuclear power is a good source of energy.5.In the future, well need new technologies to replace fossil fuels.6.Its the developed countries who are to blame for producing most of the carbon dioxide.Second listening: Listen again and tick the phrases that Professor Chen uses to agree or disagree with Li Bin.Exactly. Im afraid I disagree with you.Thats true. Im afraid not.Thats right. I dont think so.Thats correct. No way.I agree. I dont agree.

Work in groups. Discuss who you agree with and give reasons. Use some of the phrases listed in Exercise 2 or any others you know. Professor Chen: Whatever we do, we have to do it as a global community. That means developed and developing countries will have to work together.Li Bin: But its not the developing countries who put most of the carbon dioxide into the air. The developed countries are really the ones to blame. Speaking:A sample versionS1: I agree with Li Bin. It is the developed countries are really the ones to blame and to pay for that.S2: Well, Im afraid I disagree with. Professor Chen is right. Whatever we do, we have to do it as a global community. Developed and developing countries should work together to improve the environment.S3: I hold the same viewpoint as Li Bin. In developed countries people are producing a large amount of carbon dioxide., which contributes to global warming. Isnt it their duty to do something to decrease the speed of global warming? S1: Exactly.S2: It is true that the developed countries are the ones to blame and they should do something. But is it right for developing countries to look on without doing anything? Remember we have only one earth, which is like a big family. All of us are family members. Think about this: in a family, if one child makes a mistake, what should his brothers or sisters do-blame him without doing anything or help him correct the mistake?S1: I see. We should take part in the action instead of looking on and complaining. S3: I agree, too. Thank you. Ive got a better understanding about this.Finish exercises in the workbook.

But do you know that many of the environmental problems our country faces today result from our fossil fuel dependence. The environment faces air pollution, global warming, acid rain, and several other very serious problems because of our use of fossil fuels has resulted in more than 25 percent increase in carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is one of the main factors in global warming which is negatively af
