Making a difference

Some questions about your situation

On the next few slides, we are going to see what you do to make a difference in the world. Also, we will talk about what you think other people can/should do to make a difference. Please answer all questions in English.

In what way(s) do you try to make a difference in the world?

What do you think is the biggest problem in the world right now? It can be anything, not just the thing you mentioned on the previous slide.

Do you try to convince (overtuigen) other people to work to make a difference in the world?

1. Yes, I do
2. No, I don't

If you answered yes to the previous question: how do you do this? If you answered no: why do you choose not to try?

Read the article on page 57 of your book, and...

You will get six questions about the article. For each sentence, say if it is true or false. For the false sentences, rewrite them so they are true.

1. Black rhinos are far more endangered than tigers.

2. At the beginning of the last century, there were ten times more tigers than now.

3. The fishing industry gets more money for fish that are in danger than for the ones that are not.

4. The fishing laws are very strict, and the fishing industry keeps to them.

5. Financial interests play a big role in deforestation.

6. Sea levels rise as sea temperatures fall.

So, I could explain this lesson's grammar...

... but it's best if you try it yourself.
