Unit 2 - Text and family worksheet

Good afternoon!

Here is the text we read today after we studied the chart. Tell your parents about the chart, read the text with them and don't forget to do the activities for the next session!

Children like you use means of transport every day. There are many good things about them but also many other problems you need to know.

Means of transport are good because:

• They get you to school on time.
• You can learn things about them with your friends as a hobby.
• You can visit far away places with your family.

But there are also problems:

• Cars consume a lot of gasoline. Gasoline is not infinite and it will run out.
• Cars and planes cause a lot of pollution.
• Traffic jams are usual because there are so many by cars.

These are for you to do on your own. Your options are:

• means of transport
• infinite
• contamination
• visit
• large

These are the questions. Fill in the gaps and answer.

• Everything about _____ is good. True or false?.
• Gasoline is _____. True or false?.
• Cars and planes are responsible for a lot of _____. True or false?.
• With vehicles, we can _____ far away places. True or false?.
• Roads are _____ and there are never traffic jams. True or false?.

This is for you to do with your family. Translate it for them, choose your options and answer:

• I go to school [by bus/walking/by car/by train/other] everyday. My parents think that is good/bad.
• There are ___ cars in my house. We use ___ cars daily. I think we [can/can not] live without all of them.
• My parents [know/don’t] that gasoline will run out.
• We [know/don't know] eco-friendly alternatives, like gas buses or electric cars.
• We [have/have] not considered carpooling when my parents take me to school or they go to work.
• We [walk/don't walk] to places instead of taking cars because we know it is healthy.

Let me know in the comments if you have questions so we can all read them.
