  1. READING Unit 11: Sources of energy

  2. Warm up Look at these pictures

  3. Warm up Use pictures above to complete these sentences: • We use ______ to turn turbines. • We use ______ to run machine, cars, motorbikes. • We use ______ to make electricity. => 1. Wind power 2. oil/ petrol 3. coal , wind/ water/sun power

  4. Guided questions • What is our major source of energy ? • Is this major source limited ? Why ? • How many sources of energy are mentioned in the text ? • Which one do you think is the alternative source of energy ?

  5. Vocabularies: - Alternative (adj): that can be used instead of something else: thaythế. Ex: There is a vegetarian alternative on the menu every day. • Reserve (n): supply of something that is kept to be used if it is needed: sựdựtrữ.

To exhaust (v): to run out of, to weaken, to empty: làmkiệtquệ => synonym: exhausted Ex: A full day's teaching exhausts me. • Release (v): let sb/sth free: phóngthích Ex: Large amounts of energy are released by the sun everyday. • Limited (adj): not very great in amount or extent: cóhạn. Ex: We are doing our best with the limited resources available.

Why ? 3- How many sources of energy are mentioned in the text? 4- Which one do you think is the most potential energy of all the alternative sources of energy?

  9. Answers: • Our major source of energy is fossil fuels (oil, coal, natural gas). • Yes, It is limited. Because our demand is increasing very quickly and fossil fuels will be exhausted within a relative short time. • They are fossil fuels, nuclear energy, geothermal heat, solar energy, wind power, water power. • I think solar energy is the most potential energy of all the alternative sources of energy.

  10. Task 2: Table completion unlimited very dangerous plentiful, infinite, clean, safe possible in the day time clean and unlimited expensive clean and unlimited No wind => no energy available Possible

  11. Task 3: Gap - filing Complete the summary of the reading passage by filling each blank with a suitable word. We need energy to live and work. Our major source of energy comes from (1)________.
