Задания

1. Essay (150–200 слов): Write about the most pressing environmental issue in your country and propose three practical solutions. Explain why these solutions would be effective and what challenges might arise in implementing them.

2. Short answer (a few sentences): Explain the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy sources. Give two examples of each and discuss their environmental impact briefly.

3. Reading/Explanation (about 120–160 слов): Describe the process of eutrophication and analyze its environmental consequences in lakes or rivers. Include causes, stages, and effects on biodiversity and water quality.

4. Analytical paragraph (150–180 слов): Choose one renewable energy source (solar, wind, or hydro) and evaluate its potential for widespread use in your region. Consider advantages, disadvantages, and any regional constraints (climate, geography, infrastructure).

5. Persuasive paragraph (100–150 слов): Write a persuasive paragraph arguing why individuals should reduce their carbon footprint and how they can do it in daily life. Include concrete, realistic actions.

6. Formal letter (short, proper format): Write a formal letter to your town council about a local environmental issue (for example, air pollution, waste management, or litter). Include at least three proposed actions the council could take. Use a respectful, formal tone.

7. Discussion/Analysis (about 180 слов): Discuss how climate change could affect biodiversity in your country and describe one practical adaptation strategy for a local ecosystem. Use specific examples if possible.

8. Explanation with list (140–180 слов): Explain the concept of carbon footprint. List at least five everyday activities that contribute to it and propose simple ways to reduce or offset each one.

9. Project proposal (250–350 слов): Propose a school project aimed at reducing plastic waste in your school. Outline goals,具体 activities, required resources, timeline, responsibilities, and methods of evaluation and report.

10. Personal reflection (100–150 слов): Reflect on your own environmental habits. Write about two concrete changes you will make in the next term and explain why you chose them and how you plan to implement them.

Образец ответов / Answer key (примерные ответы)

1. Sample answer (essays are open-ended; ниже — краткий план и ключевые идеи):

• Most pressing issue: climate change and its local consequences (heatwaves, droughts, floods), plus plastic pollution as a close second.
• Three practical solutions:
  1. Invest in renewable energy (solar, wind) to replace fossil fuels.
  2. Improve energy efficiency in buildings and industry (insulation, efficient appliances, smart grids).
  3. Expand public transport and cycling infrastructure to reduce car emissions.
• Доп. моменты: политика цен на углерод, общественное–частное партнерство, мониторинг прогресса, образование населения. Потенциальные препятствия: начальные вложения, сопротивление переходу, технические проблемы интеграции в сеть.

2. Sample answer:

• Renewable energy sources: solar, wind, hydro.
• Non-renewable energy sources: coal, oil, natural gas.
• Environmental impact: Renewables have little or zero emissions during operation; lifecycle impacts exist (production, land use), but generally far better for the climate. Non-renewables produce significant greenhouse gas emissions, air and water pollution, habitat destruction due to extraction, and resource depletion. Transition requires storage, grid upgrades, and policy support.

3. Sample answer:

• Eutrophication: nutrient enrichment (mainly phosphorus and nitrogen) enters water bodies, fueling excessive algal growth.
• Consequences: algal blooms, oxygen depletion when algae decompose, dead zones, loss of aquatic life, reduced water quality, harmful toxins, economic costs.
• Causes: fertilizer runoff, sewage discharge, detergents.
• Solutions: reduce nutrient runoff (buffer zones, better agricultural practices), improve wastewater treatment, restore wetlands, reduce household pollution.

4. Sample answer (solar as example):

• Advantages: abundant in many regions, decreasing costs, scalable, low emissions.
• Disadvantages: intermittency (depends on sun), storage needs, up-front costs, land use concerns.
• Regional considerations: average sun hours, climate, existing grid, availability of space for panels, incentives.
• Overall assessment: strong potential with storage/backup power and supportive policies.

5. Sample persuasive paragraph:

• A well-structured 100–150 word paragraph arguing that reducing carbon footprints improves air quality, health, and climate stability; concrete actions include using public transport or cycling, eating less meat, energy-efficient appliances, turning off lights, reducing waste, and supporting renewable energy. Emphasize that individual actions compound and influence policy and corporate behavior.

6. Sample formal letter (short format):

• Dear Council Members,
• I am writing to express concern about [local issue, e.g., plastic waste in the river]. The problem harms wildlife, pollutes public spaces, and affects community health.
• Proposals: (1) ban or tax single-use plastic bags; (2) install more recycling bins and improve collection in public areas; (3) run a community awareness and cleanup campaign; (4) consider school-based programs to engage youth and families.
• Thank you for your attention and consideration.
• Sincerely, [Name], [School/Community member]

7. Sample answer:

• Climate change can shift species distributions, alter breeding cycles, and increase stress on sensitive ecosystems.
• Adaptation example: create ecological corridors to connect habitats, allowing species to migrate; restore wetlands to buffer floods, store carbon, and improve water quality; implement invasive species control where needed.

8. Sample answer:

• Carbon footprint: total greenhouse gas emissions caused by an individual or organization.
• Five activities: driving alone (carpool, public transit), air travel (prefer trains, plan trips efficiently), meat consumption (eat less meat or adopt a few meat-free days), energy use at home (improve insulation, switch to LED lighting), consumer choices (buy fewer disposable products, reuse, recycle, choose sustainable brands).
• Reductions: carpool or use public transport, take fewer flights, eat more plant-based foods, improve home energy efficiency, reduce waste and choose recycled products.

9. Sample project plan:

• Goals: cut plastic waste by X% in the school within the term; increase recycling and awareness.
• Activities: conduct a waste audit, install labelled recycling/compost bins, run a “Plastic-Free Week,” organize assemblies and posters, set up a student green team.
• Resources: bins, posters, recycling service, sponsors, classroom time.
• Timeline: month 1 audit and planning; month 2 implementation; month 3 evaluation and report.
• Evaluation: measure waste tonnage before/after, survey student attitudes, track participation, present results at a school assembly.

10. Sample reflection:

• Two changes: (a) replace short car trips with walking/biking or public transport; (b) reduce single-use plastics by bringing a reusable bottle and bag.
• Why: These changes reduce personal emissions and waste; feasible in daily routine; will be tracked with a simple log and reinforced by school actions (campaigns, reminders).

Примечания к преподавателю/оцениванию

• Так как задания открытые, допускаются различные допустимые ответы. Оцените по: полноте аргументации, логичности структуры, лексическому диапазону и грамматике, соответствию теме Environment, глубине анализа и конкретности примеров.
• Для баллов можно устанавливать диапазоны слов, но главное — ясность мыслей и конкретные примеры/предложения.

Если нужно, могу адаптировать задания под конкретную школьную программу, уровень сложности или региональные реалии.
