本單元的中心話題為“拯救地球”，通過課堂導入引出水污染、空氣污染、環境破壞，亂砍亂伐樹木等環境問題，圍繞這一主題，結合聽、說、讀、寫的訓練達到熟悉話題表述，語言熟練應用，能運用所學知識就環境問題展開討論，在口頭上和筆頭上闡述自己的觀點，達到語言輸出的目的。

“熱身”（Warming up）部分，運用圖片導入法，通過對所展示圖片的討論，引出環境保護、拯救地球的主題，初步了解學生對現狀、原因、解決辦法的掌握程度，并通過提問了解學生對本單元學習內容、學習策略、學習途徑的愿望，以便教師及時調整其后課堂教學的內容、難度、和深度的把握。

“聽力”訓練由兩大部分組成，分別安排在“聽力”（Listening）和“綜合技能”（Integrating Skills）兩個部分。前者又由兩部分組成，第一部分為紀念“世界地球日”活動上的講話，闡述了保護水資源的必要性和緊迫性。第二部分圍繞保護水資源的主題，介紹了如何保護水資源的具體措施；后者，作為綜合語言運用部分，聽力內容主要為其后的寫作作為鋪墊，除了敏銳捕捉語言信息以外，學生還需要了解發言稿的開篇、論證、以及結束。

Not only you but also I am fond of music.

About World Day for Water

The United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/47/193 of 22 December 1992 by which 22 March of each year was declared World Day for Water, to be observed starting in 1993, in conformity with the recommendations of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) contained in Chapter 18 (Fresh Water Resources) of Agenda 21. States were invited to devote the Day, as appropriate in the national context, to concrete activities such as the promotion of public awareness through the publication and diffusion of documentaries and the organization of conferences, round tables, seminars and expositions related to the conservation and development of water resources and the implementation of the recommendations of Agenda 21.

hat is World Environment Day?

World Environment Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972 to raise environmental awareness and to encourage action to protect the environment.

IV. EARTH SUMMIT

In 1992, more than 100 heads of state met in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for the first international Earth Summit convened to address urgent problems of environmental protection and socio-economic development. The assembled leaders signed the Convention on Climate Change and the Convention on Biological Diversity, endorsed the Rio Declaration and the Forest Principles, and adopted Agenda 21, a 300 page plan for achieving sustainable development in the 21st century.

The Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) was created to monitor and report on implementation of the Earth Summit agreements. It was agreed that a five year review of Earth Summit progress would be made in 1997 by the United Nations General Assembly meeting in special session. This special session of the UN General Assembly took stock of how well countries, international organizations and sectors of civil society have responded to the challenge of the Earth Summit.
