causes or consequences CAUSES
CONSEQUENCES
  • Nuclear pollution
  • Tones of rubbish
  • Fires
  • Air pollution
  • Aerosols
  • Deforestation
  • Hunting

GRAMMAR REVISION OF THE EXPRESSION OF CAUSE AND
CONSEQUENCE
ACTIVITY 3 Read the sentences below and decide
whether they are causes or consequences
  • Half of the Earths forest is already cut down
  • 2) Ten of the hottest years are among the last
    fifteen
  • 3) Every year a British throws away the
    equivalent of six trees in paper
  • 4) In 1965 a person in Western Europe drove 8km a
    day. In 1995 the number os km a day was 27
  • 5) Animal species that live in cold countries
    will disappear
  • 6) The UK uses three times more energy than India

  • ACTIVITY 4
  • a)Match the causes below with their corresponding
    consequences
  • CAUSES
  • Industries keep burning coal and oil
  • 2)Millions of trees are cut every year
  • 3)The Earths temperature is rising
  • 4)Millions of aerosols are used everyday
  • 5)Acid rains are becoming more and more frequent
  • 6)Thousands of fires are caused by men every year

21
CONSEQUENCES A) The balance of O2 and CO2 is
severely damaged B) The ozone hole is increasing
in size C) Polar caps are progressively
melting D) The level of CO2 in the atmosphere is
increasing E) Several ecosystems have been
dramatically destroyed F) Animal life and human
health are seriously damaged
22
b) Join the previous causes and consequences with
BECAUSE, SINCE and AS to form compound
sentences Example 1-D The level of CO2 in the
atmosphere is increasing BECAUSE industries keep
burning coal and oil
2-AThe balance of O and CO2 is severely damaged
BECAUSE thousands of trees are cut every year
3-C AS The temperature of the air is rising,
polar caps are progressively melting
4- B The ozone hole is becoming bigger BECAUSE
millions of aerosols are used every day
23
5-F SINCE acid rains are becoming more and more
frequent, animal life and human health are
seriously damaged
6-E SINCE thousands of fires are caused by men
every summer, several ecosystems are dramatically
destroyed
