Learning Objectives
Thinking Skills
Understanding cause and effect
Lead in
1. Look at the pictures and talk about what happened as well as
what the result is.
2. Do you know any other things that affect our lives?
Look at the pictures and complete the chart.
Cause:
Factories have stopped pouring waste water into the river.

Activity 1
A cause tells about why something happens, and an effect is what happens.
Free talk
1.What kind of the pollution is it?
2. Can you list the things that can produce noise?
3. What can loud noises can cause?

Noise are unpleasant sounds. Cars, machines, loudspeakers and many other things can produce noises. Long-lasting or sudden loud noises can do great harm to people’s hearing and cause hearing problems. Serious hearing problems can have further negative effects on people’s health and cause other health problems, like high blood pressure, heart disease and so on.

Activity 3 Pair work. Discuss more causes and effects of noise pollution with your partner.
Some cars and buses make loud noise.
Effect/Cause:
Effect:

For example:
— What causes noise pollution in our daily life?
— Things like heavy traffic, construction work, and loud music from parties.
— What problems does it bring to people?
— It can hurt our hearing, make it difficult to sleep, and make us stressed.
Reading Strategies
What’s the big difference between the two scenes?
Which one is our ideal living environment?
We all need to protect the environment.
Making generalization
When you make a statement about all or most of the people or things, you are making a generalization. Your generalization is often based on the text and your experience.
Free talk. Look at the picture and talk about it freely.
Activity 1 Look at the picture and read the text. Learn how to make a generalization.
Shanghai started waste sorting in 2019, and soon other cities followed.
I read: People in Shanghai and other cities need to sort waste now.
I know: There are waste bins of different colors in almost every community.
I generalize: Now, we all need to __________.
sort waste
/'weɪst~bɪn/ n 垃圾箱;垃圾桶
Read the text and think about how to make a generalization.
Waste sorting is very important for environmental protection. To sort wastes, we put them into bins of different colors. The blue bin is used for recycling paper and plastics, the green one is for kitchen waste, the red one is for the harmful or dangerous waste and the gray one is for others. Sorting waste is not easy. So, besides colors, there are also signs and texts on each bin to help people sort waste correctly. Communities often hold different activities to teach people how to sort waste, and sometimes you can see volunteers help people put the waste into the right bin.
Activity 2
/bɪn/ n 垃圾箱;垃圾桶
/greɪ/adj. 灰色的;灰白色的
/bɪ'saɪdz/adv. 此外;而且
/kə'rektlɪ/adv. 准确无误地
Read the text again and complete the statements about the steps of making a generalization.
Activity 2
I read: There are different ways to help people sort waste.
I know: Many people don’t know how ________________________.
I generalize: With different kinds of help, most
people______________________________.
to sort waste correctly
put waste into the right bin
Activity 3 Pair work. Talk about how you sort the waste and make a generalization about waste sorting in your neighborhood.
I think: ____________________________________________________.
I know: _____________________________________________________.
I generalize: __________________________________________________.
— How do you sort your waste?
— I put paper into the blue bin and kitchen waste into the green bin.
— What about waste sorting in our neighborhood?
— Most people sort their waste properly with the help of signs and volunteers.
— People in my neighborhood can sort waste correctly with such help.
A possible version
We learn:
1. 借助看、读、说的活动,发现和描述事物或事件发展的cause and effect。
