Globalwarming
This week, Mr Mohsen, a science

us.
The 1 …..…................ is the air around
the earth. This contains different

Although it is a natural gas, it can also

Pollution from cars and 4 …..…….
produces extra carbon dioxide. This
is a problem. If there is too much
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the
temperature on the earth will increase.
This is called global warming.
If the earth gets hotter, the ice in the
Arctic and Antarctica will melt more
quickly. The sea will get higher and
this will cause floods. Dry places will
become deserts. If these places become
deserts, crops will not be able to grow.
If we don’t have crops for food, it will
become very difficult for us to live.
So what can we do about the problem?
First, we need to plant more trees,

trees. We also need to find 5 …..…….
that cause less pollution.
atmosphere
The atmosphere contains gases,
for example:carbon dioxide.
You produce carbon
dioxide when you
burn fuels.
Pollution comes
from factories,
cars, etc.
Trees are good for the
environment because they
breathe in carbon dioxide.

explain in Arabic if necessary.
2 Ask the students to discuss the question in small
groups.
3 Invite the groups to share their ideas and have a
short class discussion.
Suggested answers:
It is difficult to stay outside in summer or to do

Outcomes
• To use the first conditional
& SB Page 30
If it’s very hot
tomorrow, I’ll stay
inside.
Underline the verbs in these sentences
1 If there is too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the
temperature on the earth will increase.
2 If the earth gets hotter, the ice in the Arctic and Antarctica will
melt more quickly.
3 If these places become deserts, crops will not be able to grow.
4 If we don’t have crops for food, it will become very difficult for us
to live.
The first conditional
• We use the first conditional to talk about something that we think will
probably happen in the future:
If Ali studies hard, he will pass his test.
• The form is If + present simple, will / won’t + infinitive
If Mona is quick, she will catch the bus.
If it is windy tomorrow, they won’t go to the beach.
• When the if clause starts a sentence, you always add a comma. However, you
can put the if clause at the end of a sentence. You do not need a comma:
Mona will catch the bus if she is quick.

Tapescript
Teacher: Today we’re going to talk about
how to protect the environment. Most
of us know that global warming is one
of the biggest problems for our world.
Most global warming is caused when
we burn fuel for energy. So if we save
(continued over)
5. 195
energy, we’ll also help to stop global
warming. Try to save energy at home.
About one sixth of the energy we use
is to heat water, so try to use less hot
water. When we wash our clothes, it’s
better to use warm water instead of
very hot water. Also, try to have shorter
showers. Most showers take about
eight minutes. In a three-minute
shower, more than half the energy is
saved. Another thing people can do to
help the environment is to plant trees.
As you know, trees breathe in carbon
dioxide. We need more trees. About
two percent of the earth has rainforests,
but people are cutting down trees
in rainforests every day. Two thirds
of the earth’s rainforests are not there
anymore. And it’s not just rainforests
that are in danger. We are cutting down
trees and plants all over the world, even
in Egypt. So, why don’t we plan a day to
plant trees!

THINKING
1 Do you think that desertification
will be worse in the future?
Why? / Why not?
2 Why is it important to save
water?
3 What can we do to help stop
pollution of our air
and water?
Desertification
• If we cut down the plants and trees (for
example to build houses or to keep
animals), the soil will become drier.Wind
and rain can carry the soil away. If this
continues for a long time, desertification
happens.This means that the area
becomes a desert.
• In the Luxor area, farmers are helping
to stop desertification by growing plants
called Jatropha.These plants have big
green leaves and they can grow in very
dry soil.They are very easy to grow. If a
piece of a plant is cut off and put into the
soil, a new plant grows.
• The seeds of the plants contain oil. It
can be used as a fuel which causes less
pollution than petrol. In this way, the
Jatropha plant protects the environment,
as well as the soil.
Plants and trees are good for
farmers.Their roots help to keep
water in the soil. So what happens
if we do not have trees or plants?
Answer these questions
1 How do plants and trees help farmers?
Their roots help to keep water in the soil.
2 Why are plants and trees cut down?
Give two reasons.
3 How is soil carried away in nature?
Give two ways.

of desertification?

plant help the environment?
