GLOBAL WARMING.
Visit the links to answer these questions:
1. What is global warming?
-Carbon dioxide and other air pollution that is collecting in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun's heat and causing the planet to warm up.
2. What is the process involved in the greenhouse effect?
-The greenhouse effect is the warming that happens when certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat. These gases let in light but keep heat from escaping, like the glass walls of a greenhouse.
3. What signs warn us about global warming?
-An average increase in the Earth's temperature, which in turn causes changes in climate. A warmer Earth may lead to changes in rainfall patterns, a rise in sea level, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans.
4. Can you quote another term for global warming?
-Climate change, greenhouse effect, enhanced greenhouse effect, radiative forcing.
5. Watch the video and explain this idea: Global warming: panic or reality?
-Reality. Because every time there is more natural catastrophes for the climatic change. If we do not avoid it, everything will finish.
*Give five ideas to stop global warming.
1- Choose a compact fluorescent light bulb over an incandescent bulb.
2- By opting for a refrigerator with the Energy Star label - indicating it uses at least 15 percent less energy than the federal requirement.
3- Not going to the school with bicycle anywhere in going there by car.
4- Attempting to make a person alone in the car not go.
5- Recycling the different types of garbage

A POSTER
WRITING -A POSTER
Many years ago tourists produced an increase of the pollution in our beaches.
The massive arrival of the bathers to the beaches, it gad negative environmental consequences in these areas.
So what's the problem?
-Massive building on the banks of the line of the coast. Many of these constructions were realized illegally or without regulation.
-Elimination of the line of the natural dunes of sand.
-Uncontrolled spillage of waste water to the sea with the consequent microbial and chemical pollution of the water of the sea. The fecal spillages were done and in certain places still they are done, of direct form to the sea.
-Elimination of the rubbish deposited to the sea bed.
-Pollution of the sand of the beach by fungi that cause infections to the skin.
-Accumulation of residues to the coast and to the sea: plastic, tins, etc... These materials can cause even the death of the fished ones.
-Acoustic pollution and of the water generated by the navigation of playtime.
Don't leave rubbish in the beaches.
Deposit the garbage in the garbage's bin that they find in the beach.
Don't pollution our beaches!!

DESCRIBING A TV PROGRAMME
WRITING: DESCRIBING A TV PROGRAMME
My favourite TV programme is the Ventdelplà series,
I like Ventdelplà because the stories in the programme are great.
I also think that it's mysterious.
In the series, Teresa, is the main character.
She lives with her family in the quiet village of Ventdelplà.
She has two children, one husband and a lot of friends.
She goes to work and lives an ordinary life with her friends but she also has problems with the bad people in the village.
In my opinion, the best character is Jaume.
I like Jaume because he's interesting and funny.
He's Teresa's friend.
