uproot any wild plant. Picking of wild flowers will not be prohibited unless they are sold, or are included in the Bill's schedule of rare

species. The Bill has rightly been widely welcomed because so many of Britain' wild plants are already in danger of disappearing, and

it is high time that the law recognized the need for their conservation. It would, however, be self-deception to suppose that the Bill by

itself can provide the protection that is needed. Measures of this kind, which are concerned with the actions of individuals, either

greedy or ignorant, in remote and lonely places, are extremely difficult to enforce. If our rare plants are to be saved, only the greatest

vigilance, in and outside the nature reserves, will save them.

6. You are asked to tell a group of foreign students (schoolchildren) about the nature conservation and environment protection in your country.

You should cover the subject in about fifty words. Use the Topical Vocabulary.

7. Work in pairs. Discuss any of the environmental problems of today. You may speak about nature conservation in regard to nature destruction, environmental protection in regard to pollution. One of the students is supposed to introduce a subject of mutual interest, the other

student disagrees with his partner's viewpoint on the subject under discussion. Use the Topical Vocabulary.

M o d e l :

A: I must admit I'm mostly interested in the nature-man relationship. I think it is the core item of the environmental protection policy.

We should be environment-conscious to foresee the ill-effects of unrestricted industrialization and urbanization. I see these problems

as a global imperative for environmental protection today. I am all for fighting pollution and against destruction of nature by man ...

B: I don't share your fears. You paint the situation black. I can hardly see any unfavourable connection between urbanization, on

the one hand, and pollution, on the other. Could you possibly explain what you mean by "the nature-man" relationship?

8. Speak about the after-effects of environmental pollution and nature destruction. Consider the following:

1. Destruction of wildlife. 2. Land pollution. 3. Water pollution. 4. Air pollution. 5. Noise disturbance. 6. Radioactivity. 7. Unrestricted

industrialization.

9. During the last 20 years environmental protection has become a vital necessity for people. What do you think has stimulated man's interest

in the problems of environment? Consider the following and expand on the points which you think especially significant:

1. The problems of environment include a wide range of burning issues: nature destruction and pollution, extermination of wildlife

on global scale, endangering human health with industrial wastes, etc.

2. There are the by-products of massive industrialization confronting all great industrial countries with the most serious problem of

environment mankind ever faced, that of pollution.

3. The "green belts" not only provide restful relaxation, they are regarded as important allies in the battle against air pollution.
