Slide 8.

T: Let’s continue. The theme of our lesson is “What can we do to save the Earth?” Boys and girls, how can we help our planet? We live near the forest. Every spring and summer we go to the forest and pick up wild flowers, make a fire when we go for picknick and some of us lives a fire burning…we drop cans and bottles in the forest. Some times we frighten birds and animals. Although forests and woods in Chuvashia cover about half of the territory, it is necessary to protect them. All of you know that forests are called “the lungs” of the planet because trees can transform carbon dioxide into oxygen to breathe. And all the forest visitors should keep to some rules to protect forests and woods.
