Protecting
the rainforest

First, download two screenshots (PDF file, 1 mo) taken from Greenpeace.org and read them quietly.

Now, watch the video (or download it if YouTube is not available).

The idea here is to learn how to use the handout entitled How to present a document for an English exam which you can find in the survival section or download by clicking right here.

Simply use the elements above each writing section to coin sentences about the video, of course you have to adapt the elements and add some others. After having filled in all the sections you will realize that you have gathered all the elements needed to write a short presentation of the document.

Word bank :

• Chainsaw = tronçonneuse
• The rainforest = la forêt tropicale
• The timber trade = le commerce du bois
• To chop down = to cut (trees)
• To expose = dénoncer
• Monkeys = singe
• Apes = gorilles
• Advertisement = la publicité
• A video commercial = un spot de pub tv
• A warehouse = un entrepôt
• Endangered species = espèces menacées
