- The topic of today's lesson is "Ecological Problems and Ecological Tourism". The problem of our lesson is the global situation in ecology and what we can do with it.

We'll try to discuss some environmental problems in the Volgograd region.

2. Работа с текстом "How Can One Individual Effect on the Environment"

It's needless to say that environment is the most topical issue of all times, especially nowadays. And when politicians, heads of the countries speak about environment, the most frequently used phrase is: "Every person should do his best to improve the environmental situation. It's in the hands of every human being." So let's consider the one person's ways of affecting on the environment.

First of all, one should begin with his own house. Everybody knows that there are some kinds of house utensils you shouldn't put into the garbage - like fluorescent lamps, some chemicals and so on because this rubbish haven't ability to decompose and can lead to pollution of the environment. And of course we shouldn't forget to be able to bring our garbage to its destination - to the rubbish bin.

The next point is cars. I'm not trying to convince you to that every individual ought to stop using his SUV and use a bicycle as everyday kind of transport. But nowadays thanks to car corporation's interest in antipollution campaigns there are so-called "clear" cars, that drive with help of new, not so polluting oil and have new system of engines. What's more, these cars are a little cheaper, so it's double bonus. And, of course, using a bike in your holidays or not so busy working days is also a little step forward less polluted environment.

And the last, but not the least way of effecting on environment is person's everyday behavior, everyday way of life. Spitting out chewed gum, empty juice or pepsi can, breaking branches, washing car in the nearest river or lake - all these small and insignificant, unimportant acts really do some harm to the surroundings where you are living, where your children , grandchildren and grand-grand children will be living.

It's easy to think that one bad action can lead to nothing. That one thrown out cigarette-butt is just a drop in the ocean, just one of many left there, and it can't influence anything. But it's time for everybody to understand that it's not. It' wrong. One man's step towards less polluted surroundings is almost nothing. But all the steps in sum are the straight way to your unpolluted future.

- Перспективы развития экологического туризма на территории природных парков Волгоградской области обсуждались стали в последнее время активно обсуждаться на различного рода пресс-конференциях.
На территории Волгоградской области создано 7 природных парков, которые занимают 600 тыс. га. Одним из основных направлений сохранения природного потенциала региона является развитие экологического туризма. На территории области разработано 57 туристических маршрутов - пеших, конных, водных и автомобильных. Только в прошлом году специалисты природных парков провели 136 экскурсий, в которых приняли участие около 2 тыс. человек. По словам вице-губернатора Павла Чумакова, Волгоградская область является уникальным регионом по природно-климатическим условиям, поэтому жителям следует более бережно относиться к окружающей среде, приложить все усилия, чтобы сохранить природное разнообразие для будущих поколений.
