Read these texts and find some time to discuss the content with your classmate.
Consider different issues with your classmate:
There are now twice as many people as 50 years ago.
Cities are part of the system we’ve invented to keep people alive on Earth. People tend to like cities
There are nearly eight billion humans alive on the planet now, and that’s a big number: more than twice as many as were alive 50 years ago.
The tendency of people to move to cities, either out of desire or perceived necessity, creates a great opportunity.
They will have to be green cities.
Peace, justice, equality and the rule of law are all necessary survival strategies.

4A+9B: ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT_INDEPENDENT LEARNING
ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT
Everyone of us has an ecological footprint.

LISTENING AND VOCABULARY PRACTICE
TRANSPORT OF THE FUTURE
http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/persian/features/6-minute-english/ep-180208
Air travel has become commonplace for many people. Commonplace means ‘not unusual’.
Driverless vehicles
Far-fetched – like flying cars that we see in sci-fi movies – it's difficult to believe because it's unlikely to happen.
CITIES OF THE FUTURE
http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/thai/features/6-minute-english/ep-160714
What is the percentage of the world's population that will be living in cities in 2050?
Decent cycle lanes. Good transport networks are very important
Urban sprawl is the way a city spreads into undeveloped land around it, often without planning permission.
They end up building their own communities and houses on unoccupied land. And these communities are becoming in some places the majority not the minority and they're off the grid so they're not often serviced by either the social services but also many of them don't have water, sanitation and electricity.
Shanty towns – poor communities where the houses are built out of cheap materials
Infrastructure.
/ˈɪnfrəˌstrʌktʃə/the basic systems and structures that a country or organization needs in order to work properly, for example roads, railways, banks etcSome countries lack a suitable economic infrastructure.a $65 billion investment package in education, health care and infrastructure
COMMUTING
http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/persian/features/6-minute-english/ep-160128
Hundreds of millions of us make the same journey day in day out (done or happening every day for a long period of time).
Packed in like sardines describes people standing so close together that they can't move – like fish in a can!
it's no fun being stuck in a traffic jam
Let's face it – travelling by car or by public transport can be really miserable!

4A+9B_EARTH HOUR_LISTENING AND SPEAKING PRACTICE_INDEPENDENT LEARNING
Earth Hour Tonight: What Time? What's the Point?
Millions will turn off the lights for Earth Hour. Is it a bright idea?
The organizers urge people to turn off lights and other nonessential appliances in a symbolic show of support for action against climate change and for energy conservation in general.
Let us use 60 minutes of darkness to help the world see the light.
Despite Earth Hour's growth since its introduction in Sydney in 2007, not everyone's on board. Earth Hour itself doesn't have a significant impact on actual energy consumption or greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to global warming.
What is your attitude towards EARTH HOUR?
Discuss it with your classmates.
