2. Listening and speaking
Show the picture where all the necessary vocabulary items are labeled. Read the text where all of them are mentioned.
At first, let's start with the key vocabulary. We can find a lot of new words, which we need to describe our cities. Look at this picture: you can see the results of man's activity.
There are quite a lot of people in the largest cities, so we call them overcrowded cities. Many people make too much litter, rubbish and garbage. Litter is bits of paper, wrapping, bottles, etc left lying about public places. Rubbish (Am. garbage) is waste (no longer of use) material and food thrown away as worthless. Garbage and rubbish usually dispose in landfill sites. People, of course, have got many cars. And cars burn gasoline, which produces carbon dioxide and other toxic products such as benzene and lead. Companies and enterprises dump their wastes into water. So, bad breath, spilt oil, chemical wastes, litter pollute air, soil, water.
And we should do our best to improve this situation.
