Host: Welcome back to our new TV Game Show, the Go Green Game Show. And we welcome our last candidate, Mr.
Black. Mr. Black, you are from Manchester and you are a mechanic.
Mr. Black: Yes, I am.
Host: So, are you ready for our last series of Go Green questions?
Mr. Black: Yes, I am.
Host: Are you ready to win the super prize, a ten-day trip to Australia, including trekking on Ayer’s rock, shopping in
Sidney, scuba-diving in the Great Barrier Reef?
Mr. Black: Well, I can’t swim.
Host: Never mind that, even if you can’t swim, your wife can still go shopping in Sidney. Good, now then, first
question. Come on, relax, Mr. Black. How do you call the gas emitted by cars, planes, factories….?
Mr. Black: I really don’t know… A gas? Oxygen?
Host: No, Mr. Black, no, it isn’t oxygen. Second question: some forests of the Amazon are completely destroyed or
burnt. How do you call this phenomenon, “deforestation”, “defenestration” or “deterioration”?
Mr. Black: Er… Can you repeat the question, please?
Host: No, that is impossible. Next question, what is the most populated country in the world?
Mr. Black: er…Manchester?
Host: Well, Manchester is not a country, Mr. Black. Right, last question Mr. Black, which country pollutes more than
any other country?
Mr. Black: er… I really don’t know, I would say… France?
Host: No, Mr. Black, it is not France, I’m sorry. Well, Mr. Black, I’m afraid you won’t be going to Australia for your
next holidays, you will stay in Manchester. Bye, Mr. Black, good luck with your garage. Well, this is all for now, we
hope you enjoyed the game, we hope YOU were able to answer the questions. See you next Tuesday on our new

Exercice 15

OIL COAL GAS

Exercice 16
We rely upon energy in every area of our lives. To create this energy we have to burn fossil fuels such as gas, oil
or coal. When we burn these fossil fuels, we produce energy of course, but we also produce greenhouse gases like
CO2. Too much CO2 in the earth’s atmosphere makes temperature rise, this is global warming.

Exercice 17
Conditions Consequences
If we do nothing, temperatures will rise
If temperatures rise, the melting of the ice-caps will increase.
If the melting of the ice-caps increases, sea levels will rise.
If sea levels rise, it will alter climate conditions and generate floods
and droughts.
If climate conditions are altered, it will affect forests, crops and water supplies.
If climate changes affect forests, crops and water it will also affect humans, animals and many types of
supplies, eco-systems.

Jack and Jill When Jill came in,
Went up the hill, How did she grin,
To fetch a pail of water, To see Jack’s paper plaster,
Jack fell down, Her mother, vexed,
And broke his crown Did whip her next,
And Jill came tumbling after. For laughing at Jack’s disaster.

And home did trot, And Jill did cry,
As fast as he could caper, But her tears did soon abate,
To old Dame Dob, Then Jill did say,
Who patched his nob, That they should play,
With vinegar and brown paper. At see-saw across the gate.
