18. Imagine you are people from the list in Ex. 17. Act out interviews. Before you begin, decide what attitude you wish to convey by the tone of your voice and the way you speak.

19. Imagine you are fisherman or local hotel owners. Plan and write a letter demanding compensation for loss of trade caused by the oil spills.

From Rye D., Greenall S. CAE: Listening and Speaking Skills, 2004.

20. Discuss the following facts and figures.

1. There are more than 24 thousand enterprises in Russia releasing harmful substances into atmosphere and water basins. These substances are not caught and detoxified by technological processes. Nearly 33 % of emissions come from metallurgy, 29% - from power industry, 7 % - from chemical industry, and 8 % - from coal industry. More than half of the emissions deliver from transport.

2. There are great losses of non-renewable resources. While extracting mineral resources nearly one third of iron ore, 7,6 % of copper ore is lost, not more than 30% of oil are recovered from oil reservoir. Every year in the Russian Federation 45 billion tons of mining wastes are formed, out of which 20 billion tons are related to the nonutilizable toxic wastes. They are partially stored on the areas of plants or discharged into sewage system or drafts uncontrollably.

21. Discuss the following quotation from the standpoint of the ecological problems in mining and oil production

1. One of the first laws against air pollution came in 1300 when King Edward I decreed the death penalty for burning of coal.  At least one execution for that offense is recorded.  But economics triumphed over health considerations, and air pollution became an appalling problem in England. 

~Glenn T. Seaborg, Atomic Energy Commission chairman,

Argonne National Laboratory, 1969

  1. The system of nature, of which man is a part, tends to be self-balancing, self-adjusting, self-cleansing.  Not so with technology. 

~E.F. Schumacher, Small is Beautiful, 1973

  1. When some high-sounding institute states that a compound is harmless or a process free of risk, it is wise to know whence the institute or the scientists who work there obtain their financial support. 

~Lancet, editorial on the "medical-industrial complex," 1973
