Writing About Renewable Sources of Energy

I Renewable Sources of Energy
1 Read and do the tasks

Text “A”

Because fossil fuels can run out and are bad for the environment, it is important that we start switching to other energy sources, like renewable energy sources. These are energy sources that are naturally being reproduced such  as sunlight, wind, and water. This means that we can use them as much as we want, and we do not have to worry about them running out. Additionally, renewable energy sources are usually much more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels.

So, you might be wondering, 'if renewable energy sources do not harm the environment and will not run out, then why are we not using them everywhere and all the time?' It is because many of them are currently expensive to harness, are inefficient, or have other disadvantages. For example, using energy from the wind might be great in an area that is really windy all year-round, but it wouldn't work so well in an area with very little wind.

 

Lexis:

Run out (v): to use all of something and not have any more left .

Switching to (gerund):  changing from doing something to doing something else.

Harm (v): to damage something.

Harness (v) : to control and use the natural force or power of something.

2 Analyse then do the tasks

a. Analyse  the data about renewable energy sources in the table below.

 Renewable energy sources  Where  Advantages  Disadvantages
 Biomass  Urban dumps-farms Available -reduces waste Air polluting -expensive
 Geothermal Places with water Available-clean can cause earthquakes-consumes a lot of water
Hydroelectric Moutains -rivers Very clean - very safe very expensive (it needs a lot of investments)

Solar energy

Sunny areas Quiet- clean expensive
Tidal wave Bays -beaches Clean- available enormous - energy potential Expensive
Wind Coasts-moutains Clean - enormous energy potential Noisy ( turbines) - expensive

3 Keep in mind

The text you have studied is expository.The topic sentence  deals with the fact that non-renewable energy sources do not last long and are harmful to the environment.

Examples of non-renewable sources of energy are fossil fuels : coal, gas (methane) and petroleum.

Therefore, it is essential that we turn to the use of renewable energy sources.

Renewable energy sources have advantages and disadvantages. Most of them are less polluting and safer than fossil fuels, However, they are more expensive.
