How to speak about causes and consequences

Hey,

today we first corrected the exercise about since / for and we continued speaking about the audio document we had started last time.

Here is what we said about the causes for global warming:

Global warming is due to greenhouse gases.
GW is provoked by carbon dioxyde.
GW is triggered by the pollution of power plants.
GW is generated by the pollution of cars.
GW is caused by the burning of oil.

 

Then we spoke about the possible consequences:

Factories trigger water pollution. Since the industrial revolution, many species of fish have died. People have polluted the water, and that's why some people can't drink it in some parts of the world.

Vehicles produce CO² emissions. They generate air pollution. For years, cites have been polluted; that's why in the future we may lack oxygen.

Vocabulary:

(to) pollute
pollutant

Finally, I gave you a worksheet to increase your vocabulary about the environment and natural disasters. We will finish it next time.

HW: complete the grid and make sentences to express the consequences of global warming on the planet.
