Learning objectives
In this lesson, we will be able to:
Understand the basic information about World Environment Day, including its date, purpose, and the concept of different themes each year.
Master the key vocabulary and expressions related to environmental protection, such as “plastic pollution”, “garbage”, “recycle”, etc. through reading and self-check activities.
Improve their reading comprehension ability by reading the passage about World Environment Day and answering related questions.
1 Read the passage and answer the questions.
On June 5 each year, our class celebrates a special event: World Environment Day(WED). For over 50 years, the United Nations has encouraged people from all over the world to take care of the environment. Each year, WED has a different theme that focuses on some of the most serious environmental problems of our time.
The theme this year in our school was reducing plastic pollution. First, we went outside and collected garbage left on the school grounds. Then, our teacher helped us brainstorm ways to use less plastic in the classroom.
“We could bring our own lunch boxes instead of plastic bags,” said Li Ming.“We can use colouring pencils instead of plastic highlighters and buy school things that come in cardboard boxes instead of plastic ones,” suggested Wang Mei.
“Those are both great ideas!” said the teacher. Then, she told us that World Environment Day is a great reminder for everyone to take care of the world around us. It brings attention to the problems that are harming the planet!
1 Read the passage and answer the questions.
“Protecting the planet is very important. Over 150 countries in the world take part in World Environment Day, but the earth needs help every day,” added the teacher.
Can one person protect the whole planet No. But if everyone makes at least one small change each day, imagine how the world will be in a year, five years, or twenty years.

I can understand the importance of protecting the environment:
Plastic pollution affects the natural beauty of the environment.
Plastic will stay in the ground for years and pollute the soil, water,
and plants.
I can talk about the causes of environmental pollution:
That man over there is leaving his garbage on the beach.
People burn things like gas, oil, and coal. They cut down trees
and create a lot of waste.
I can write about environmental problems:
Global warming affects everything on the planet.
I can take action to protect the environment:
Bring your own shopping bag instead of using a plastic one.
Turn off devices we aren't using like TVs and lights.
Improvement needed:
Self-check
Fun Time
Hand in hand
In nature's embrace, we find our home,
With forests green and oceans that foam.
Let's join hands, together we'll stand,
Protecting the earth, hand in hand.

For birds to sing and skies to brighten.

Preserving nature for each new day.
Plant a Tree,
Set the Earth Free!
