  • and the Colombian natural places you have studied or visited write a short paragraph where you will tell us ¿how often you take action to take care of the environmental places that you have visited or have heard about or would like to visit.
  • 2. Use adverbs of frequency for this task and use the verb tenses you know.
  • For example: “When I go to a natural place, I always try to keep clean the place of garbage, I never litter because I know that could destroy the environment. I usually bring a bag to collect the garbage I find; I hardly ever use plastics to eat or drink something, I often bring my recipients to serve my food or drinks. Sometimes I try to suggest my friends to do the same, I think we all can take care of our natural places, but we have to start with little actions.”

INTERACTIVE GAMES

Play the games and take a screenshot of your score.

Look for information of environmental social leaders in Colombia. Then choose one Colombian environmental social leader and write about his or her history and what had he or she done to protect the natural environments of Colombia.

For example:

Francia Elena Márquez Mina (born 1 December 1981) is a Colombian human rights and environmental activist and lawyer, who is the 13th and current Vice President of Colombia. She was born in Yolombó, a village in the Cauca Department. She first became an activist at 13, when the construction of a dam threatened her community. Before she became the vice president of Colombia she had participated in the defence of the Ovejas river, a significant water source for her community. Also, in 2009 Francia had helped lead protests against attempts by the government to evict Afro-Colombians, especially artisanal miners, from ancestral land near the town of La Toma. Besides, Márquez had organised a 350-kilometre long march from Cauca to Bogotá in 2014. The March, which consisted of 80 Afro-Colombian women, saw an increase in attention to illegal mining in Cauca, as well as the social and environmental destruction the community and suffering the illegal mining had caused. For all these reasons, I consider Francia Márque the woman I want to be one day.
