Task 3
Listen to Para. 3 and find information about “greenhouse effect”.(2mins)
__________ greenhouse effect
_________ greenhouse effect
causing Earth’s surface temperature ______________ if too much heat energy is _______
keeping Earth’s climate _______ and __________
natural

Create a diagram describing how the greenhouse effect works.
Heat released back into space
greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere trap some heat
short-
wave radiation
atmosphere
sunlight
Draw a diagram
Diagrams are very useful tools that can be used to brainstorm ideas, map out processes, show cause and effect relationships, explain a new idea or concept, and so on. When you read an essay about scientific issues, you can try drawing a diagram, which will not only allow you to visualise the problems more clearly but also can help demonstrate your creative thinking and problem-solving.
The difference between natural greenhouse effect and man-made greenhouse effect

Summary
Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed.
— Mohandas K. Gandhi
地球能满足人类的需要,但满足不了人类的贪婪。
we should cherish what we have and do whatever we can to make the world a better place, leaving the green mountains and blue waters for our offsprings.
1.Write a composition on
“saving energy in the home”.
2. Design a poster to call on more people
to deal with climate change.
Homework
Only by changing the way we treat the environment can we get along well with it.
只有改变我们对待环境对方式,我们才能与之和睦相处。
Only by saving the environment can we save ourselves.
只有保护环境,我们才能保护我们自己
Lucid waters and lush mountains are valuable as "mountains of gold and silver".
绿水青山就是金山银山。
If we don't save water, the last drop of water will be our tear.
如果我们不节约用水,那么最后一滴水将会是我们的眼泪。
Let’s keep the words in mind:
Thank you
for
your
attention !
