Read 1a and find out some language points
In many countries,people produce power from coal,but it is very dirty and causes acid rain. Some countries use nuclear energy to produce power. However，nuclear power can be very dangerous. To solve the energy problem,people all over the world are looking for new ways to produce power.
China is one of the first countries in the world to use biogas technology. Farmers recycle straw， grass and animal waste to make biogas. This renewable energy is used in people’s everyday lives. Its key disadvantage is that the process requires a long time (up to 30 days) and the cost is high.
Electric vehicles were developed in the 1990s. On April 11,2010,a new kind of electric vehicle named“Yezi” was shown in the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. It produces electricity from the sun， the wind and CO. It can not only protect the environment but also save enerey. It's too small tohold many people，but larger models will be developed in the near future.
In China,the best-known maglev train is the German-built one in shanghai. It takes people just 7 minutes to go to the airport 30km away. The train can reach a top speed of 431 km per hour. It is quiet and quick. There is no wheel noise,because there are no wheels. Maglev trains are very energy-efficient and do not pollute the air.However,maglev guide paths are much more expensive than
tradiriondl steel railways.

Work on 2a
Read the passage below and match the pictures with the sentences. Then discuss in detail the use of one energy source.
The sun, wind, waves and heat from deep in the earth are energy sources. They will never run out so they are called renewable sources. In 2011, about 16% of energy used worldwide came from renewable sources. The use of it is increasing rapidly each year.
deep adj.深的，厚的 adv.深深地， 在深处
run out 用完，耗尽
E.g. He has run out of food, so his children are hungry.

Read the passage below and match the pictures with the sentences. Then discuss in detail the use of one energy source.
Wind can produce electricity in many places.
People use sunlight to produce electricity.
Sea waves are used for producing electricity.
People use hot water or steam from deep in the earth to produce electricity and heat for factories, schools and homes.
Work on 2b
Take notes on your discussion and write a passage with them.
You may begin like this:
Sunlight can produce a lot of energy. People began to use the energy from the sunlight in different ways many years ago…
Example
Sunlight can produce a lot of energy. People began to use the energy from the sunlight in different ways many years ago. We can use it to warm the house in the winter, to heat the water for baths, and to produce electricity. What’s more, we can even use it to run vehicles directly in the near future.
As is known to us, the energy from the sunlight has a lot of advantages. For example, it is clean, renewable and non-polluting. Besides, it does no harm to our nature. So we’d better use it as much as possible.
THANK YOU
