Intoduction

High School English Teaching is a new world for living the wonderful experiences that four practitioners of the English language had during a certain period of classes. In this blog we as practitioners want people to know about the new world called "high school." 

Moreover, we want to share some techniques that we used in order to develop the classs because we lived some new experiences that helped us to be better when teaching.

We hope this blog can help people to have an idea about teaching English to high school students.

Our topic was

3. DEFORESTATION

4. NATURAL DISASTERS

1. POLLUTION


 POLLUTION IN EL SALVADOR HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BIGEST PROBLEM. THE AIR, SOIL, AND WATER ARE CONTA,MINATING BY HUMANS. THERE ARE MANY POLLUTANTS THAT DESTROY OUR COUNTRY FOR EXAMPLE; THERE ARE MANY DANGEROUS CHEMICALS THAT END UP IN RIVERS AND IN THE OCEAN THAT MAY CAUSE PLANTS AND ANIMALS DIE. ALSO, THERE ARE SOME POLLUTANTS LIKE SMOKE STACKS, OIL SPILLS, CHEMICAL WASTE, RAW SEWAGE, TRASH, FERTILIZERS, AND LANFILLS THAT POLLUTE THE AIR , THE WATER, ETC.SO, THESE POLLUTANTS CAUSE THE ACID RAIN.

NATURAL DISASTERS
Natural disasters are changes which are so great they may cause damage to the shape of the land or to the lives of people and other living things. Here in El Salvador we have experienced some natural disasters,as for example, earthquakes, volcano eruption, and flood.
