$1st year lessons UNIT 05 PART 01 C:\Users\win7\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image013$ c. And why does it matter if the world gets warmer? (    )
$1st year lessons UNIT 05 PART 01 C:\Users\win7\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image014$ $1st year lessons UNIT 05 PART 01 C:\Users\win7\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image015$ d. Oh it matters a lot. (       ) If the earth gets hotter the sea level will rise. (     )

Rule:

The intonation goes up at the end of requests and auxiliary questions. But, it goes down at the end of statements and WH-questions.

2. Play out the dialogue above with the right intonation changing the last sentence with one of the following:

3. $1st year lessons UNIT 05 PART 01 C:\Users\win7\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image017$ Copy down the words below, then listen to their pronunciation and mark (ˈ) the syllable you hear most as in the example:

Key:

Verb	Noun
pollute /pəˈluːt/ preserve /prɪˈzɜːv/ conserve /kənˈsɜːv/ emit /ɪˈmɪt/ contaminate /kənˈtæmɪneɪt/ deforest /dɪˈfɒrɪst/ destroy /dɪsˈtrɔɪ/ degrade /dɪˈgreɪd/	pollution /pəˈluːʃən/ preservation /prezəˈveɪʃən/ conservation /kənsəˈveɪʃən/ emission /ɪˈmɪʃən/ contamination /kəntæmɪˈneɪʃən/ deforestation /dɪfɒrəsˈteɪʃən/ destruction /dɪsˈtrʌkʃən/ degradation /degrəˈdeɪʃən/

4. Now pronounce the verbs and their derivations. What do you notice?

We notice that in the verbs, stress is usually on the second syllable, and in nouns (ending in – tion / sion), it is on the penultimate (second from the end) syllable.

The hidden message:

Write the transcript below using the letters of the alphabet:

$1st year lessons UNIT 05 PART 01 C:\Users\win7\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image018$

/gæs ɪˈmɪʃənz kɔːz eə pəˈluːʃən ənd dɪfɒrəsˈteɪʃən liːdz tə ðə degrəˈdeɪʃən əv ðə sɔɪl/

Gas emissions cause air pollution, and deforestation leads to the degradation of the soil

Your Turn: (p 131)
Pair work: look at the pictures and use the cues in boxes A and B to make a dialogue:
$1st year lessons UNIT 05 PART 01 C:\Users\win7\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image019$

Key:              A sample dialogue
A: What will happen if we don’t stop soil pollution?
B: If we don’t top soil pollution, the earth will become desert, animals will lose their habitat,
     there will be less O₂ and more CO₂ in the atmosphere
A: And what will happen if we don’t stop water pollution?
             B: If we don’t top water pollution, fish will die, seabirds will get stuck in oil spills and people
                 won’t have enough food to eat.

Read and Check: (p 133)

1.     Read the text below and check your answer to exercise 2 in the previous rubric:

2.     Read again the text above and answer these questions:


	$1st year lessons UNIT 05 PART 01 C:\Users\win7\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image025$

b- The gas responsible for air pollution is carbon dioxide.
c- Pollution in towns causes lung and skin cancers.
d- The negative impact of modern agriculture on people’s health is that most pesticides used on food crops are toxic and can cause diseases.

3. Ask yourself some of the questions below and try to guess the meaning of the underlined words in the text above:


	$1st year lessons UNIT 05 PART 01 C:\Users\win7\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image026$

Key:

Words	Part of speech	Why?	Help from the context	Meaning in the context
swallow	verb	It comes after the subject		Use completely
Urban	Adjective	It comes before the noun	Reference words [city, factories,…]	Of city
aquatic	adjective	It comes before the noun Its ending is "-ic"	Reference words [fish, rivers]	In water
Rural	adjective	It comes before the noun Its ending is "-al"	Antonym [urban] Reference words [countryside]	Of countryside
illness	noun	It comes after the adjective Its ending is "-ness"	Synonym [disease]	Disease

Discover the Language: (p 134 – 135)
1. Read the second paragraph of the text on page 133 and pick out two sentences which are close in meaning to the following:
$1st year lessons UNIT 05 PART 01 C:\Users\win7\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image027$

Key:

a. Fish is dying because fertilizers which contain phosphorus and sulphur are spilled into the rivers. [expressing CAUSE]

b. In the countryside, fertilisers which contain phosphorus and nitrogen spill over into rivers. As a result, fish is dying in increasing numbers, and aquatic life is suffocating from lack of oxygen. [expressing CONSEQUENCE / EFFECT / RESULT]

2. Now analyse the sentence above and the sentences from the text and note how the cause-effect relationship is expressed in each sentence:
$1st year lessons UNIT 05 PART 01 C:\Users\win7\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image028$

Key:

In the sentence from task 1, the cause- effect relationship is expressed through the use of the conjunction of subordination ‘because’.

In the sentences from the text, the cause- effect relationship is expressed through the use of the sentence connector ‘as a result’. We also notice a reshuffling of the cause-effect relationship into an effect-cause relationship.

3. Match each cause of pollution with its corresponding effect in the table below. Use the connectors and make any necessary changes in punctuation:
$1st year lessons UNIT 05 PART 01 C:\Users\win7\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image029$

Key:
(a – 2) (b – 1) (c – 4) (d – 3)
