По теме природных явлений и катастроф. Текст может стать основой для школьного сочинения или презентации

Natural disasters like earthquakes, tornado, tsunami and floods happen more frequently nowadays. There are many reasons why they occur, but the main one is related to human activity on Earth which often has a negative impact on our environment.

All kinds of disasters are usually very damaging. Many dwellings, roads and even whole streets and cities are ruined. The number of victims usually terrifies as hundreds or even thousands of people get injured or die in disasters. However, each disaster has a different nature.

For example, an earthquake is the result of the tectonic plates’ movement which leads to the shaking of a certain area on land. Earthquakes destroy buildings and people usually become victims because they get stuck or killed under the rubble.

Tornado is also a natural disaster which looks like an enormous column of the wind which lifts cars, bicycles, furniture and many other things. It is also called a twister and it can be very dangerous if touches the surface of the ground or water.

Flood in its turn happens when rivers burst their banks. Most extended floods damage cities and wash away whole populated places. Tsunami is another natural disaster which arises as a series of huge waves caused by underwater earthquakes.

Thus, there are many natural disasters which are dangerous for all of us. We should be careful and treat our planet better in order not to die with it.

Перевод:

Природные катаклизмы, такие как землетрясения, торнадо, цунами и наводнения, теперь случаются все чаще. Существует много причин, из-за которых они возникают, но основная причина связана с деятельностью человека, которая часто оказывает негативное воздействие на нашу окружающую среду.

Все виды природных катастроф обычно разрушительны. Разрушаются многие здания, дороги и даже целые улицы и города. Число жертв обычно приводит в ужас, так как сотни и даже тысячи людей получают ранения, или погибают в катастрофах. Однако у каждого катаклизма своя природа.

Например, землетрясение – результат движения тектонических плит, которое приводит к сотрясению определенной территории земли. Землетрясения разрушают здания, и люди обычно становятся жертвами из-за того, что застревают или погибают под обломками.

Торнадо – также относится к катастрофам природного характера, которая имеет вид огромного столба ветра, поднимающего над землей машины, велосипеды, мебель и многие другие вещи. Торнадо также зовут вихрем, и он может быть весьма опасным, если коснется поверхности земли или воды.

Наводнения, в свою очередь, происходят, когда реки выходят из берегов. Большинство обширных наводнений наносят вред городам и смывают целые населенные пункты. Цунами – еще один природный катаклизм, который возникает в виде нескольких огромных волн, спровоцированных подводными землетрясениями.

Таким образом, существует множество природных катаклизмов, которые опасны для всех нас. Нам следует быть осторожнее и лучше относиться к нашей планете, чтобы не погибнуть вместе с ней.

Фразы:

Natural disaster – природный катаклизм

Earthquake – землетрясение

Flood – наводнение

Environment – окружающая среда

Victim – жертва

To ruin/to destroy – разрушать

Under the rubble – подобломками

To burst the banks – выходить из берегов

Save the planet, to admire the beauty of nature and save the world from ecological disaster. All of the causes of environmental katostrofy happens all over the world from mining oil, coal, gas, iron ore, salt, diamonds, gold, sand, soil and so on. Environmental pollution around the world poses a serious threat to all worldwide. Live Earth be in great danger. There are many things that negatively affect the Earth: mining coal, oil, gas and so on, emissions from factories and exhaust gases, deforestation, poisoning of air and water pollution, depletion of the ozone layer and catastrophically global changes of climate all over the world. I, Nazar Pervobytnyi ask all people in the world, let"s live together according to the laws of Nature and save the Nature. Environmental pollution is one of the most acute problems of the world.

Water, land and air pollution in Germany, Netherlands and Europa. Catastrophe in Germany, Netherlands and in neighboring countries. Many containers of hazardous chemicals have fallen into the North Sea from the cargo ship MSC Zoe. And the containers were thrown in waves to the shores of the Dutch and German islands. For this reason, the coast guard urged local residents not to open the containers or touch their contents. Organic peroxides, chemicals that cause irritation on contact with skin and mucous membranes, are found in containers that have fallen into water. Many countries in the world for the first time in many years, was severely damaged by hurricanes.

Цели и задачи урока:

• повторить изученные темы;
• развивать навыки аудирования, говорения, чтения, перевода;
• углублять межпредметные связи и знания учащихся по другим предметам, в частности географии.

Урок начинается с оргмомента , во время которого учитель сообщает учащимся тему (слайд 2) и говорит о тех задачах, которые предстоит решить в ходе урока.

“Hello, everybody. Glad to see you. Sit down, please. Today we are going to talk about extreme natural phenomena and we’ll learn a lot of interesting facts”.

“First comes warming-up. Let’s review two rhymes about the weather.”

Rainbow at night
Is the sailor’s delight.
Rainbow at morning,
Sailor, take warning!
Evening red and morning grey
Are the signs of a bonny day.
Evening grey and morning red
Bring down rain on the farmer’s head.

Далее учащиеся знакомятся с названиями некоторых экстремальных явлений природы по-английски (слайд 4). Если учащиеся затрудняются перевести то или иное слово, они, как всегда на уроке, могут воспользоваться словарем.

“Look at the blackboard /screen/. Let’s read and translate some extreme natural phenomena”.

1. An eclipse.
2. A tsunami.
3. A typhoon.
4. A hurricane.
5. A tornado.
6. An eruption.
7. An earthquake.
8. A flood.

После того как слова переведены и отработано их правильное произношение, учащимся предлагаются объяснения всех этих слов (слайд 4):

“And now you can see the definitions of these extreme natural phenomena. Read and match. Five minutes at your disposal.”

a. a violent storm with extremely strong winds and heavy rains.

b. a process when a volcano explodes inside and flames, rocks and lava come out of the top.

c. a large amount of water that covers an area that was dry before.

d. a short period when all or part of the Sun or Moon becomes dark because of the positions of the Sun, Moon and Earth in relation to each other.

e. a tropical storm with strong winds

f. a sudden shaking movement of the ground

g. a very strong wind that goes quickly round in a circle or funnel

h. a very large wave that causes a lot of damage when it hits the land

Учащиеся самостоятельно читают и переводят определение слов и соотносят слово с его определением, например 1-b, 2-g и т.д. Когда большинство учащихся справилось с заданием, учитель предлагает учащимся проверить себя, показав правильные варианты ответов:1-d, 2-h, 3-e,4-a,5-g,6-b, 7-f, 8-c (слайд 5).

После этого учащиеся по очереди читают получившиеся предложения (слайд 5).

“And now let’s read and translate these sentences.”

1. An eclipse isa short period when all or part of the Sun or Moon becomes dark because of the positions of the Sun, Moon and Earth in relation to each other.
2. A tsunami isa very large wave that causes a lot of damage when it hits the land.
3. A typhoon is a tropical storm with strong winds.
4. A hurricane isa violent storm with extremely strong winds and heavy rains.
5. A tornado isa very strong wind that goes quickly round in a circle or funnel.
6. An eruption isa process when a volcano explodes inside and flames, rocks and lava come out of the top.
7. An earthquake isa sudden shaking movement of the ground.
8. A flood isa large amount of water that covers an area that was dry before.

“Now let’s read and answer the questions.”

1. What is …?
2. Which of these natural phenomena is the most dangerous? Why?
3. Have you ever seen anything like this yourself?
4. Where do … often happen on the Earth?
5. What famous volcanoes do you know? Where are they?
6. Why do people give names to tornadoes? to typhoons? to hurricanes?

Данный вид работы проводится в нескольких режимах: ученик – ученик, класс - ученик, ученик – класс.

Следующий этап урока – работа с текстом “Volcanoes” (слайд 7).

“Next comes the text “Volcanoes”. Your task is to read and translate it. Try to understand as much as possible”.

There are a lot of volcanoes on the Earth. A volcano is a mountain that forces hot gas, rocks, ash and lava into the air through a hole at the top. Some volcanoes are not immediately dangerous because they are not active and have become dormant. Others will never be dangerous again because they are completely extinct. Active volcanoes can erupt. Some of them erupt slowly and quietly. This slow eruption can last for months or even years. Sometimes volcanoes erupt very quickly and noisily.

Under the surface of the earth it is very hot. The rocks are not hard and solid. They are thick and liquid. This liquid rock is called magma. Sometimes there is an opening in the rocks on the surface. Then magma can come up through this opening and the volcano erupts. Dust and pieces of rock are thrown up into the air. Red hot lava pours down the sides of the mountains. Later on, the lava cools and becomes hard rock.

Затем учащимся предлагается восстановить в предложениях правильный порядок слов (слайд 8).

“Your next task is to arrange these sentences in a proper way. Do it in written form.”

1. into the air; a volcano; hot gas, rocks, ash and lava; that; is; forces; a mountain; through a hole at the top
2. and; active volcanoes; on the Earth; there are; dormant volcanoes; extinct volcanoes
3. on the surface; there is; an opening in the rocks; sometimes
4. and; erupts; can come up; the magma; through this opening; the volcano
5. into the air; are thrown up; hot gas, rocks, ash and lava
6. down the sides of the mountains; pours; red hot lava
7. cools; becomes; the lava; hard rock; and
8. thick and liquid; under the surface of the earth; and; are; the rocks; are called magma; they

Когда учащиеся заканчивают выполнять данное задание, они сами проверяют себя.

“ Now look at the screen again and check yourselves.”

1. A volcano is a mountain that forces hot gas, rocks, ash and lava into the air through a hole at the top.

На экране появляется анимированная картинка извержения вулкана. Учащиеся смотрят на нее и их задача – прокомментировать то, что происходит на экране, заполнив выноски (слайд 10).

“Look at the screen please. The volcano is erupting. Please comment what is happening.”

После этого задания, если позволяет время, можно предложить учащимся посмотреть небольшой видеофрагмент (правда, на русском языке) об извержении вулкана (видеофрагмент взят из электронной версии энциклопедии Кирилла и Мефодия).

После видеофрагмента один из учащихся по-английски рассказывает, как происходит извержение вулкана (слайд 12).

Следующий этап урока посвящен городу Помпеи. В течение пяти-семи минут учащиеся самостоятельно читают текст (слайд 13), а затем выполняют несколько заданий к этому тексту.

“Your next task is to read the text about the Italian town of Pompeii. While reading choose the best title for the text from your point of view.”

North of Pompeii there is a mountain called Mount Vesuvius. It is a volcano. The people who lived in Pompeii two thousand years ago were not afraid of the volcano. It had been quiet for eight hundred years.

Then in August one year strange things started to happen. People heard noises under the ground. The water in their wells disappeared. Birds flew away from the town. Animals were frightened. On August 24th Mount Vesuvius erupted. Hot dust and rock was thrown 20kilometres into the air. Red-hot lava and rock poured down the sides of the mountain. The wind was blowing towards Pompeii and the hot dust fell on the town. It made breathing difficult for people. Many people ran away but many people stayed there. They did not know that a wall of lava was coming towards the town at more than 1000 kilometres an hour. The next day the town of Pompeii was buried under four metres of lava. Everyone who had stayed in the town died. The town stayed buried until 1860. in that year archaeologists started to move the rock which covered the town. They found temples, theatres, shops and houses, paintings, jewelry and coins. They found the town just as it was nearly two thousand years ago when it disappeared under the lava from Mount Vesuvius.

Учащимся дается четыре названия текста, они выбирают лучшее с их точки зрения (слайд 13).

Следующее задание, которое учащиеся выполняют по тексту – это определить соответствует предложение тексту или нет (слайд 14) .

“Read these sentences and say whether they are true or false”.

1. The people of Pompeii were frightened of Mount Vesuvius.
2. Nothing unusual happened before the volcano erupted.
3. It was a very big eruption.
4. The lava moved slowly.
5. When the volcano erupted, everybody left the town.
6. The town was buried for nearly 2,000 years.

Следующее задание к тексту – это работа с числительными, которых в тексте довольно много (слайд 15). Сначала учащиеся вспоминают, как читаются по-английски количественные двухзначные, трехзначные, четырехзначные и порядковые числительные, затем они составляют минидиалоги (слайд 15):

Give me a number, please.

- (a sentence from the text)

Другой вариант этого же минидиалога:

Give me a number, please.

Следующее задание, предлагаемое учащимся, заключается в следующем. Учащимся дается информация про два известных вулкана – Везувий и Кракатау (слайд 17). Многие факты перепутаны. Задача учащихся – правильно распределить информацию на две группы.

“Now look at the screen again, please. You see some information about the two famous volcanoes. Some of these facts are mixed up. Please divide all this information into two groups correctly.”

После выполнения задания учащиеся снова получают возможность проверить себя сами (слайды 18 и 19).

И последнее задание учащихся – выбрать любой из двух вулканов и рассказать о нем. В качестве вступления к своему рассказу учащиеся могут использовать уже известную им информацию (слайды 4,7, 9).

“Now choose any volcano you like more and make a story about it. You can use all the information about volcanoes you know. You can begin with the definition of a volcano, how it erupts, etc”.

VIII.

Домашнее задание учащихся носит творческий характер и включает несколько вариантов:

– подготовить презентацию про вулканы
- написать сочинение об извержении Везувия или Кракатау с точки зрения репортера - очевидца или жителя этого города/острова
- найти информацию о каком-нибудь другом известном вулкане

“Our lesson is over. I hope you learnt a lot of new and interesting information. Your marks are … Thank you for your work. Good bye”.

Our amazing planet is mysterious and extraordinary. It is full of unique phenomena and mysteries. Every day nature pleases us with beautiful sunsets, autumn cobwebs, and a starry sky. Someone enjoys the morning dew, others breathe the frosty air while admiring the white canvas of hoarfrost. But often nature amazes and makes admire such phenomena that literally fascinate or, conversely, induce terrible fear.

You can observe various natural phenomena in different places on Earth. For example, aurora can be seen in the Northern Hemisphere. For the first time the northern lights saw the Scandinavian peoples, deciding that this is a manifestation of the wrath of the gods. In fact, the aurora has an electrical origin. Millions of charged particles collide in air molecules thereby forming a glow. Thanks to oxygen, light is reflected in yellow, green, red. Blue and purple are formed with nitrogen.

Rainbow is the most joyful and amazing phenomenon of nature. A rainbow can be observed immediately after a rain, in the form of reflection of sunlight in water droplets that remain in the air after a rain. The light is refracted and gives us seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, purple. Rainbow is also double.

The inhabitants of the earth very often can observe an amazing cosmic phenomenon - star rain or stargazing. If you look at the sky, we will see a lot of luminous points that fly from top to bottom towards our planet. During the flight, these points, like her small stars, leave behind a trail of luminous stripes. They do not reach the earth, and burn in the atmosphere in the form of a bright flash. In fact, as scientists explain, falling bodies are not stars, they are meteors. Meteor rain is formed annually during the collision of the Earth with the cosmic flow of meteor particles.

Наша удивительная планета загадочна и необычайна. Она полна уникальных явлений и загадок. Природа радует нас изо дня в день красивейшими закатами, осенней паутинкой, звездным небом. Кто-то наслаждается утренней росой, другие вдыхают морозный воздух любуясь белым полотном инея. Но нередко природа поражает и заставляет восхищаться такими явлениями, которые буквально очаровывают или наоборот, наводят жуткий страх.

Наблюдать разные природные явления можно в разных местах Земли. Например полярное сияние можно увидеть на территории Северного полушария. Впервые северное сияние увидели скандинавские народы, решив, что это проявление гнева богов. На самом деле полярное сияние имеет электрическое происхождение. Миллионы заряженных частиц сталкиваются в молекулами воздуха, тем самым образуя свечение. Благодаря кислороду свет отражается в желтом, зеленом, красном цветах. Синий и фиолетовые цвета образуется с помощью азота.

Радуга самое радостное и удивительное явление природы. Радугу можно наблюдать сразу после дождя, в виде отражения солнечного света в капельках воды, которые сохраняются в воздухе после дождя. Свет преломляется и дарит нам семь цветов: красный, оранжевый, жёлтый, зелёный, голубой, синий, фиолетовый. Радуга также бывает двойной.

Жители земли очень часто могут наблюдать удивительное космическое явление - звёздный дождь или звездопад. Если смотреть на небо, мы будем видеть множество светящихся точек, которые летят сверху вниз по направлению к нашей планете. Во время полета эти точки, похожие на маленькие звезды, оставляют за собой след светящихся полос. Они не долетают до земли, и сгорают в атмосфере в виде яркой вспышки. На самом деле, как объясняют учёные, падающие тела не являются звёздами, это метеоры. Метеорный дождь образуется ежегодно во время столкновения Земли с космическим потоком метеорных частиц.

Mother Nature can act rather scary sometimes. Almost every day TV channels, radio and newspapers report on natural disasters striking different parts of the world. Scientists say that earthquakes, tornados, floods, droughts, tsunamis, landslides and hurricanes are happening more frequently nowadays. Global warming, pollution and growing industrialization lead to imbalance in our echo-system.

A natural disaster can be defined as an uncontrollable extreme disruption which causes ecological and financial damage and victims of vulnerable population. Sometimes the events can be predicted by special meteorological warning systems and they often happen in the same geographical area because they are related to climate and physical characteristics of the region. For example, Florida is constantly suffering from tornadoes and hurricanes, and Japan – from earthquakes.

An earthquake happens when tectonic plates of the earth move and they make the area shake violently. According to the Richter scale the magnitude of earthquakes is measured from 1 to 10 points. The most powerful earthquake was recorded in 1960 in Chile, its magnitude was 9.5.

Volcanic eruptions occur when hot red magma erupts from the earth’s crust and flows from the top of the volcano. It also throws volcano ashes into the air which are harmful to inhale for human beings and animals.

A tsunami is a series of dangerous huge ocean waves, usually caused by underwater earthquakes. This natural disaster attacks the shore all of a sudden and often results in thousands of deaths. The height of the waves can reach 30 metres.

Flooding is another natural disaster. Floods happen when the water level in rivers and seas becomes too high. Sometimes flash floods can even wash away whole villages.

During extremely hot dry summers our world usually suffers from vast forest fires and severe droughts. Wildfires are especially dangerous in windy weather when they spread very easily. Droughts may result in famine because the land becomes dry and people can’t grow any plants and vegetables on it.

A tornado is an enormous column of twisting wind that moves very fast and destroys houses, raises in the air and throws people, animals and heavy things. Hurricanes and tornados are very common in America and the Atlantic Ocean.

Landslides happen when earth and rocks on slopes become loose or water-laden and they fall down the hills or mountains.

People face great problems after disasters: the water is usually infected, the communication lines (electricity, telephone) are often damaged, most of the buildings and property are destroyed, agricultural crops are also damaged. Natural disasters are great tragedies to many countries and nations. They take a lot of people’s lives. Thousands of people become homeless, unemployed. They need medical and psychological help.

Перевод

Матушка-природа порою действует довольно устрашающе. Почти ежедневно телеканалы, радио и газеты докладывают о природных катастрофах, поражающих различные части света. Ученые утверждают, что землетрясения, торнадо, наводнения, засухи, цунами, оползни и ураганы сегодня происходят гораздо чаще. Глобальное потепление, загрязнение среды и развитая промышленность ведут к дисбалансу нашей эко-системы.

Природную катастрофу можно определить как неуправляемое экстремальное разрушение, которое приводит к экологическому и финансовому ущербу и жертвам незащищенного населения. Иногда события можно предсказать при помощи специальных метеорологических систем предупреждения, и часто они происходят в одной и той же географической местности, поскольку связаны с климатическими и физическими особенностями региона. К примеру, Флорида постоянно страдает от торнадо и ураганов, а Япония – от землетрясений.

Землетрясение происходит, когда тектонические земные плиты движутся и сильно сотрясают местность. Согласно шкале Рихтера магнитуда землетрясений измеряется от 1 до 10 баллов. Самое мощное землетрясение было зафиксировано в 1960 г в Чили, его магнитуда составила 9,5 баллов.

Извержения вулкана происходят, когда горячая красная магма извергается из земной коры и вытекает из вершины вулкана. Она также выбрасывает в воздух вулканический пепел, вредный для дыхания людей и животных.

Цунами – это серия опасных гигантских океанических волн, обычно образовавшихся в результате подземных землетрясений. Это стихийное бедствие атакует побережье неожиданно и часто приводит к тысячам смертей. Высота волн может достигать 30 метров.

Наводнение – это еще одно стихийное бедствие. Наводнения случаются, когда уровень воды в реках и морях становится слишком высоким. Иногда внезапные наводнения могут смыть целые деревни.

Во время аномально жаркого сухого лета наш мир обычно подвергается масштабным лесным пожарам и жестоким засухам. Лесные пожары особенно опасны в ветреную погоду и очень легко распространяются вокруг. Засухи могут повлечь за собой голод, поскольку земля становится сухой, и люди не могут на ней выращивать никаких растений и овощей.

Торнадо – это огромная колонна вихревого ветра, движущегося очень быстро и разрушающего дома, поднимающего в воздух и бросающего вниз людей, животных и тяжелые предметы. Ураганы и торнадо распространены в Америке и Атлантическом океане.
