[...]... roofs of houses can create enough energy to heat or cool an entire house Solar energy is not only plentiful and infinite but also clean and safe Although there are some disadvantages, the potential of alternative sources of energy is great However, how to make full use of these sources of energy is a question for researchers all over the world How many sources of energy are mentioned in the text?... clean source of energy, and there is lots of it Unfortunately, if the wind does not blow, there is no wind energy When water moves from a high place to a lower place, it makes energy This energy is used to create electricity Water power gives energy without pollution However, people have to build dams to use this energy And dams cost a lot of money, so water energy is expensive Sources of energy Advantage(s)... FOSSIL FUElS SOURCES OF ENERGY nuclear 4 power geothermal 5 heat solar energy ALTERNATIVE SOURCES wind power water 6 power Task 4:Complete the summary of the reading passage by filling each blank with a suitable word from the box one environment unlimited sources alternative energy limited fuels We need energy to live and work Our major source of (1) energy one ……….… is oil Oil is (2)… … kind of fossil... there is lots of it Unfortunately, if the wind does not blow, there is no wind energy When water moves from a high place to the lower place, it makes energy And as dams cost a lot of money, so water energy is expensive The sun releases large amounts of energy every day This energy can be changed into electricity Many countries use solar energy for their daily life Solar panels on the roofs of houses can... for hundreds of years, but it can be very dangerous Another alternative source of energy is geothermal heat, which comes from deep inside the earth Scientists use this heat to make energy However, this energy is available only in a few places in the world The sun, water, and the wind are other alternative sources of energy The wind turns windmills and moves sailboats It is a clean source of energy, and... infinite wind energy Water power It’s clean, plentiful, expensive infinite Task 3: Read the passage and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F) 1 Our major source of energy comes from fossil fuels T 2 The sun gives out large amounts of energy every day T infinite, clear, safe 3 Solar energy is plentiful, finite, ,unclear,unsafe 4 The potential of alternative sources of energy T is... Paragraph 2 Nuclear energy can provide enough electricity for the world’s needs for hundreds of years, but it can be very dangerous Another alternative source of energy is geothermal heat, which comes from deep inside the earth Scientists use this heat to make energy However, this energy is available only in a few places in the world Sources of energy Advantage(s) Disadvantage(s) Nuclear energy It’s plentiful... Task 1 Find out in the text the words which means: 1 energy obtained from the power of the sun, alternative wind, water: release 2 to give out: limit 3 With end: 4 power: energy 5 use until it is completely finished: exhausted TASK 2: Scan the passage and write down the advantage (s) and disadvantage (s) of each alternative source of energy Sources of energy Nuclear power Geothermal heat Wind power Water... kind of fossil fuel The limited fuels amount of fossil (3) … …… in the world is (4) ……….… Therefore, we must save it, and at the same time, we must find new sources of energy Geothermal heat and nuclear power alternative are (5) …… .sources of energy They can give us sources electricity Other alternative (6)……………are the sun, waves unlimited and water These sources are not only (7)…………… and environment... Advantage(s) wind power It’s clean, plentiful, If the wind does not blow, there is no wind infinite energy It’s clean, expensive plentiful, infinite water power Disadvantage(s) TASK 2: Scan the passage and write down the advantage (s) and disadvantage (s) of each alternative source of energy Sources of energy Advantage(s) Disadvantage(s) Nuclear power It’s plentiful It can be very dangerous Geothermal . potential of alternative sources of energy is great . However, how to make full use of these sources of energy is a question for researchers all over the world. How many sources of energy are. and disadvantage (s) of each alternative source of energy. Sources of energy Advantage(s) Disadvantage(s) Nuclear power Geothermal heat Wind power Water power Sources of energy Advantage(s) Disadvantage(s) Nuclear. natural sources of energy are limited. - Limitation / ˌlɪmɪˈteɪʃn/ (n): the act or process of limiting or controlling somebody/something. Is there a limit to the amount of the natural sources of energy
