Protected area in Poland

Hello again!

A really good video to identify adjectives! Just that, write down the adjectives you understand, if possible, followed by their corresponding nouns.

Some of you have done this activity already, so I'll be posting your answers in the comments. I'll be posting the answers in a week or so, or when I consider you've participated enough. So, come on, don't just wait for the key, and write your exercise in the comments!

The video is on how a protected area in Poland threatened by the construction of a highway was saved by environmentalists.

Enjoy it!

    - Protected area.
    - Guided scientific evidences.
    - Devastating impact.
    - Red dot.
    - environmental laws.
    - Rare and extincting in other places species and habitats.... ???

    - First major victories.
    - A prestigious goverment enviromental price.
    - Heavy trucks.
    - So many accidents here...
    I can be wrong ... but I think that's what I've heard ...

  3. Hi Rebeca and David!

    I'm so sorry about not commenting as often... You know, internet problems still!

  4. Hello everyone!

    Thank you for being so patient... Time management is proving to be really hard lately...

    Also, I've realised you're not commenting as often, so waiting for this video to have eight or nine comments seems a bit pointless.

    So! The key to this one activity:

    last
    great
    majestic
    untouched
    abandoned
    protected (area)
    red (line, dot)
    scientific (evidence)
    devastating (impact)
    Polish
    European environmental law
    alternate (route)
    major (victories)
    postcommunist (Poland)
    prestigious (prize)
    heavy (trucks)
    And again: untouched

    I hope you got many answers right! See you soon!
