Reading Exercises - Environment

Beyond Books Reading texts on the environment for intermediate / advanced English A choice of texts in graded English on subjects concerning ecology and the environment The texts listed below are designed as private reading texts or classroom resources for students of English at intermediate and advanced levels. Each text has been graded according to the CEF (Common European Framework) benchmark for language learning. Some intermediate texts are classed "C1" - which makes them technically texts for advanced learners. However the C1 ranking in these cases is deceptive, being notably due to the technical vocabulary used; the texts have quite a few long words. In actual fact much of this vocabulary does not make the documents harder to understand for non-native speakers, as these "complicated" technical words will often be similar if not identical to the terms used in the learner's own language – thus making understanding of the text easier, not harder. 1. NEW Black taxis going green. 2. NEW (Technical) The electric car revolution, realistic or optimistic? Other ideas?

Free Book: Free Online Clipart Sourcebook Announcing the Free Clip Art Sourcebook: links to thousands of categorized free images, all in one place! When I was a magazine art director about 100 years ago, we didn’t have electronic free clip art. That might seem incomprehensible to younger people, but we had to jump through all kinds of hoops just to get images onto the pages of a magazine. I used to design a lot of small ads every month, many of which required some kind of artwork to make them stand out. But now I’ve developed a new problem: I have a lot of free contemporary and vintage clip art and scrapbook images. The Free Clip Art Sourcebook doesn’t just link to free clip art and scrapbook images; it’s free to download too. You need the free Adobe Reader to view the Free Clip Art Sourcebook. Please note that the images are subject to the Vintage Holiday Crafts terms of use.

K-12 Lesson Clearinghouse - High School - Green Energy Challenge - Renewable Energy Guide for Buildings - Green Education Foundation | GEF | Sustainability Education Lesson Description:This unit provides students with information about the actions a builder or homeowner can take to increase heating and cooling efficiency of a home while reducing dependency on nonrenewable sources of energy. Differences in insulation materials and their heat conductive properties will be compared in the laboratory activity. Conserving valuable energy by improving r-values for insulation in each residential and commercial building is a point to emphasize. After completing this unit, students will be more knowledgeable consumers regarding energy efficiency and passive solar, photovoltaics and wind power options.
