Lesson 2:  Paragraph 1

Learning goals:
-You will be able to explain what ‘fossil energy sources’ means

-You can discuss how the use of fossil fuels affects the atmosphere

-Give an example of climate change in the Netherlands

Language aim:
-You can use the word prosperity in a sentence
-You can explain what the word emission means

(enhanced) Greenhouse effect

Carbon cycle
