Task 1. The following statements list some advantages and disadvantages
of various sources of energy. Read and tick () the appropriate box A ( for
the advantages ) or D (for the disadvantages ), then compare the results with
partner’s.

A D
1.Fossil fuels will be exhausted within a relatively short
time . 
2.Geothermal heat is available only in a few places in
the world. 
3.If the wind does not blow, there is no wind energy.

4.Water power provides energy without pollution.

5.A nuclear reactor releases radiation which is
dangerous to the environment. 
6. Solar energy is not only plentiful and unlimited but
also clean and safe. 
7.It is expensive to built a dam for hydroelectricity.

Task 2: Work in pairs. Talk with your friend about the advantages
and disadvantages of using each alternative sources of energy ,
using the suggestions from Task 1.

I think that wind Why do you

power can be an think so?
alternative source of
energy.......
 Sources of Advantages Disadvantages
energy
Nuclear
energy It is unlimited It can be
dangerous
Geothermal
It is available It is only available in
heat some places

Solar energy It is not only plentiful It is only possible

and infinite but also during the day time
clean and safe

It is clean If the wind doesn’t

Wind power and unlimited blow,there is no
wind energy.

It is clean and It is expensive to

Water power build a dam
unlimited
for hydroelectricity
Example :
A: I think that wind power can be an alternative sources
(1)
of energy.
B: Why do you think so?
A: Because our major sources of energy are running out
while the wind is abundant and unlimited.
(2)

B: I know it is also clean and safe to the environment.

(3)
However, it is not available when there is no wind.
(4)
