Playful activities

Source:

Time goes by quickly and the end of the school year will be there in the twinkling of an eye. Very soon there are tests, assessment, scoring... To take advantage of your little time, you should organise your study plan for all subjects and, in what concerns English, you can very well enjoy playful activities.
Below are some links for you to revise our current topic: Our Blue Planet (Environmental Issues). This is definitely a very popular topic in the news and obviously in school books, and why??? Because the world  - and consequently all living creatures - are suffering from (and with) environmental problems. High time not only to learn the vocab, yes, but also to take action, folks.
Aren't these two points convincing enough for you to care and learn? Well, without further ado, roll up your sleeves and go ahead!!

    A film that begins with so much life and beauty and finishes so sad shape. All we have to help to avoid this environmental disaster that endangers the species.

      Shocking contrasts, yes, and we are to blame!!! If we can destroy so much beauty and so far away, we should also be able to reverse the process, don't you agree?

      Dear @Ayoub,

      Do you also approach this issue at school? Are their recycling points / banks in your school and around Tetouan? What do YOU do to tackle this pressing issue?

    How sad, the planet doesn't deserve it. But unfortunately we who do it. Sometimes we think that a role doesn't do anything, but no. Let's go everybody, we will clean the beaches

      Dear Carlos,

      You're absolutely right! We should all care and do something. What we do to the planet, we do to ourselves.

    How nature is beautiful?
    It really is a shame as nowadays people pollute nature. In doing so they are killing thousands of species.

    where is this place that is? this place is very beautiful, has many animals, but that part where animals die makes me cry, people should not by the objects in the street, they are ... waste polluting the environment and so the animals end up eating these objects then die, we should avoid it, and protect animals.

    Nature is beautiful.
    But this video shows that not everything is always beautiful and in fact the animals dying because of us!
    it is very sad to see the reality, but seeing this video we can correct our mistakes that sometimes kills innocent animals and destroy the world.

      Dear @Rui, @Verónica, @Cissé, @Raquel,
      Ours is a wonderful wonderful and the only one we've got. When / If we exterminate animal species and destroy nature around us, we will destroy our own world. Sooner or later, we'll suffer the consequences - aren't we already???
