November Week Four

This week's conversation led us to talk about global warming, specifically about parts of the world which could be drastically affected by its consequences, such as the tiny island nation of Kiribati.

Listening:
There are many possibilities for learners to practice listening. Try Listen-a-Minute about Global Warming, a video about the problem, or a ESL Video from National Geographic.

For original version try some of the videos that appear on this National Geographic page explaining causes and solutions to this global threat.

Reading
Learners should check out a text about climate change from Breaking News English, a reading comprehension quiz, or a reading passage about climate change.

For original version I recommend exploring some of the resources over at Climate Hot Map, a NYTimes article about Kiribati, or any of the fantastic writing by Elizabeth Kolbert.

​Writing:
This week, please write an essay about different places around the planet which will likely suffer drastic effects of climate change.  What will happen? What can people do to prepare for or prevent such disasters?
Best,
Kelly
