Module 2 Going Green. Перевод текста из книги Spotlight 10 класс

Перевод текста из книги Spotlight 10 класс Афанасьева О.В, Дули Дж, Михеева И.В.
Страница 41

Перевод:

Воздушное загрязнение происходит не только из-за заводов и наших машин. Мы также являемся причиной этого в доме с продуктами, которые мы используем, и нашим образом жизни. Воздух внутри дома может быть загрязнен чистящими продуктами, пылью, краской, средствами от насекомых, сигаретным смогом или паром от готовки. Мы часто вынуждены держать двери и окна закрытыми, чтобы сохранить внутри наших домов прохладу летом или тепло зимой. Это задерживает загрязнения и создает условия для существования насекомых, пыльных клещей и плесени. Некоторые загрязнения, такие как смог и средства от насекомых, могут послужить причиной дыхательных проблем, таких как астма, особенно для тех людей, у которых аллергия на пыль. Для уменьшения воздушного загрязнения в доме вы должны открывать двери и окна 2-3 раза в день, использовать натуральные чистящие средства и не разрешать курить.

Оригинал:

Clean Air at Home.
Air pollution doesn’t just come from factories and our cars. We also cause it at home with the products we use and the way we live. Air indoors can be polluted by cleaning products, dust, paint, insect sprays, cigarette smoke or steam from cooking. We often need to keep doors and windows closed to keep the insides of our houses cool in the summer or warm in the winter. This traps pollutants and can make places for insects, dust mites and mould to live. Some pollutants such as smoke and insect sprays can cause breathing problems such as asthma, especially for those people who are allergic to dust. To reduce air pollution at home you should open the doors and windows 2-3 times a day, use natural cleaning products, and do not allow smoking.

Lesson 18. № 14. ГДЗ Английский язык 4 класс Верещагина. Почему Джуди закричала?

Read the text and say why Judy shouted.

THE KEYS
Last summer we went to visit our granny. She’s got a nice,
little house in the country. It is very comfortable. There’s a liv-
ing room, two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, a hall and a
toilet in it. There are many different flowers in front of the
house and behind it. There are a lot of fruit trees too. We like
to visit our granny but we don’t often go there, as we are very
busy.
That summer day our granny was out but we had the keys
with us. I wanted to have a nice day in the country. We, my
little brother John and I (my name is Judy, by the way), went
to the country by car. When we came and got out of the car,
John shouted, “I want to watch TV.”
I opened the door, put my bag on a little table in the hall
and went back to take the food out of the car. At this moment
my favourite dog Rex closed the door and I didn’t know
what to do. John was in the house. The front door was locked
as was the back door. The windows were closed and
I couldn’t get in as the keys were in my bag which was in
the hall. I shouted: “John, please, come here! Open the door!”
John couldn’t do it because he was only five. “OK, John,
then give me the keys through1 the letterbox.”2
He did, but they were the car keys and not the house keys.
“John,” I shouted. “They are not the house keys. They are
the car keys. Give me the house keys, please.”
John heard and took the house keys out of the bag. He gave
them to me through the letterbox. Then I could open the door.
I thanked my brother, gave him the keys and went to the car
to get the food. While3 I was at the car John locked the door
from the outside and put the keys into the house through the
letterbox.
How do you like that?

Here you will find some tips and ideas on how to have your first online lesson with adults. Lesson ideas introduced in the article are suitable for Pre-Intermediate+ levels.
