* Discussion

- give comments

- prepare the next lesson (writing)Typescript

The natural environment includes all natural resources that are necessary for life: the air, the ocean, the sun, and the land Because they are vital for life, these resources must be protected from pollution and conserved Ecologists study their importance and how to use them carefully.

According to ecologists, resources are divided into two groups: renewable and non renewable When a resource is used, it takes some time to replace it If the resource can be replaced quickly, it is called renewable If

it can not be replaced quickly and easily, it is nonrenewable For example, grass for animals is a renewable resource When cows eat the grass, the resource is used If the soil is fertilized and protected, more grass will grow Coal, however, is non renewable because it takes millions of years to make coal All fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources.

Solar energy airs, and water are renewable resources because there is unlimited supply However, this definition may change if people are not careful with these resources The amount of solar energy that reaches the earth depends on the atmosphere If the atmosphere is polluted, the solar energy that reaches the earth may be dangerous If life is going to continue, the air must contain the correct amount of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and other gases If humans continue to pollute their air, it will not contain the correct amounts of these gases.
