V.Teacher sticks two envelops on the board one is renewable energy the another non-renewable energy. The teacher sticks the various pictures of energy resources.

To develop critical thinking skills

T. asks questions

A method ‘Fish bone’

• Give Ss time to think about the difference between them and elicit answers from Ss around the class.

• Monitor the activity around the class and then ask some groups to share their answers with the class.

1.What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy?

2.which types of renewable energy use wind turbines and photovoltaic cells?

3. How hydroelectric power is produced?

4.How geothermal energy is produced?

5.Do you know about biomass and biofuels?

6.What about biogas?

Students put the pictures inside those envelopes according to the name of each envelope.

Ss answer the question

Ss’ own answers

1.The difference between renewable energy sources is that renewable energy sources do not run out, whereas non –renewable energy sources are only available in a limited amount.

2.The equipment for extracting solar and wind power are solar panels and wind turbines. The photovoltaic cells inside solar panels, transform the sun’s radiation into electricity.

3. Hydroelectric power is produced using dams, waterfalls or in any place where water flows downhill.

4. Geothermal energy is produced using the heat from the Earth’s core. It heats up water, turns it into steam and turns a turbine.

5. . They are both produced using organic matter from plants.

6. They have a biogas tank at the local farm. The farmer puts the waste in there and it's broken down by bacteria to produce a really smelly gas.

VII. Ex.3 p.78

To introduce the topic; to listen and read for specific information

• Group work.

Teacher asks the students ask and answer group’s questions. Ss share their questions and answers with the class.

Questions

1.What had developed Italian scientist Alessandro Volta two centuries ago?

2.What have we been using inside our smartphones?

3. Are there any concerns with this batteries?

4.How was the problem solved?

5. Are pumped hydroelectric facilities efficient today?

6.Should we save the energy?

Ss share their questions and answers with the class.

Answer Key

1.Two centuries ago, Italian scientist Alessandro Volta had developed how to generate electricity, but the process has evolved over the years.

2. We have been using small versions inside our smartphones for years, the lithium – ion battery. It is the ideal candidate as it can both deliver and store energy.

3. The main safety concern with lithium – ion batteries is overheating. This is because delivering energy to a battery causes a chemical reaction, and if energy is delivered to quickly it can cause the system to short circuit or catch fire.

4. Programmers have developed intelligent software which will regulate the speed of charging and eliminating the risk of overheating.

5. Currently, 95% of global energy storage in pumped hydroelectric facilities. Decpite being the oldest form of energy storage technology, they are still efficient today. However each one needs two large reservoirs.

The method “Kill the fly”

To consolidate new vocabulary through synonyms

• Direct Ss to the words in bold in the text and give them time to match them to their synonyms in the list using their dictionaries to help them if necessary.

• Check Ss’ answers around the class.

Answer Key

generated – produced

offshore – not on land

grid – a network of electricity

fluctuate – change

outweighs – is more than

reliable – stable

reservoirs – places where water is stored

capacity – available space

supply – quantity produced

demand – quantity required

overheating – becoming too warm

X. • Read out the definition and elicit whether Ss have heard of 'energy storage' before.

• Ask Ss to write down two questions they have about energy storage.

• Play the recording. Ss listen and check if they can answer their questions.

• Ask various Ss to share their questions and answers with the class.

Suggested Answer Key

1 How can we store energy? (We can use batteries such as lithium-ion batteries.)

2 What are the benefits of using energy storage? (We can have energy any time we need it.)

1 What is the oldest energy storage solution?

(Pumped hydroelectric facilities are the oldest energy storage solution. They involve pumping water uphill from one area to another and

generating energy as it flows downhill again.)

XII.Present/Past tenses

Ex.7 p.79

To revise present and past tenses

• Refer Ss to the Grammar Reference section to review the theory on present and past tenses.

• Then elicit examples in the text (had already discovered, has evolved, are committing, are moving, have been using, have developed) and when/how we use different present/past tenses.

• Give Ss time to complete the email with the correct present/past tense.

• Check Ss' answers around the class. Ss justify their answers.

Answer Key

1 received (past simple, action happened at a stated time – last week)

2 have been researching (present perfect continuous, emphasis on the duration of an action that started in the past and continues up to the present – for three days now)

3 had been looking into (past perfect continuous, an action which started and finished in the past, before another action – before my company's

lithium-ion battery production took off)

4 had expressed (past perfect, an action which finished before another past action – prior to our expansion in this field)

5 hadn’t considered (past perfect, an action which finished before another past action – before I read your proposal)

6 are thinking (think is a stative verb – when used in a continuous tense it means ‘consider’)

7 want (present simple, stative verb in the present)

8 had intended (past perfect, an action which finished in the past and whose result was visible at a later point in the past – but the weather forced me to cancel it)

9 forced (past simple, an action which happened at a stated time in the past – a few hours ago)

10 hasn’t arrived (present perfect – an action which started in the past and continues up to the present – the time word 'yet')
