1a. To introduce Ss to the unit goal, talk about pollution and environmental protection.
Picture:
The four pictures show different forms of environmental pollution. The first picture on the left shows an airplane flying over some houses. The airplane seems to be flying a quite a low altitude, so the noise level must be quite high foe the people living in these houses. This is considered noise pollution. The second picture shows some vehicles give out exhaust fumes and causing air pollution. In the third picture, we see big chimneys giving off a lo of smoke and polluting the air. The last picture shows a rubbish dump hat pollutes the environment around it.
What other things cause pollution?
Ask Ss to complete the activity as a class, then work in pairs to think of more words to add to the lists for each column.
1b. To help Ss recognize the target language in natural speech.
Everyone needs to play a part:
In the conversation, the boys are talking about the river in their town being polluted by litter and industrial waste. One of them wants to write to the government about the problem, but the other boy wisely says that cleaning up the river is everyone’s responsibility, not just the government’s.
Predicting the answers
Ss work in pairs to predict the answers to the activity, then play the recording for Ss to fill in the gaps and review answers as a class.
1c. To give Ss guided practice in using the target language to talk about pollution and environmental protection.

3a. To prepare Ss or the subsequent writing active by prompting them to thing of their immediate environment.
Asking for feedback
Ask Ss to show the notes they have made to a partner to get some feedback and revise their notes if they find it necessary.
3b. To give Ss the opportunity to use the target language in writing.
Less it more
Suggest to Ss that it might be better to focus on one problem and write about it in detail instead of writing about many problems and not providing enough details.
Sample writing:
Dear Sir/ Madam.
I have lived in this town since I was born and I love this town very much.
I think that there are beautiful areas in this town, but there are also areas that aren’t attractive, like the rubbish disposal areas at the bottom of our apartment blocks. There is rubbish coming out of the bins, and flies, cockroaches and rats running all over the rubbish. It is unpleasant to look at, smelly, and it makes the environment very unhealthy.
The problem is there because the rubbish collectors do not come often enough to collect the rubbish. The people living here may also be throwing away too much rubbish.
We could try to ask people to produce less rubbish. I suggest that rubbish collectors collect rubbish more often as well.
I believe that a better environment can be created in this town and we should all work together to achieve it.
Yours faithfully,
Wang xi
