Pair Work Think and share.
1. What physical problems did the professor suffer
after he fell into the sea
2. What do you think the “creature” is Find evidence
from the extract.
When he fell into the sea, the professor couldn't breathe, and his mouth filled with water. Later he became terribly tired and cold.
The creature is probably a submarine because it is made of steel and it has people inside. The professor found out that is was “smooth, polished”, “produced a sound of metal” and “made of metal plates”.
Pair Work Think and share.
3. What social class do you think the professor and
Conseil belong to Underline the expressions that
indicate their social status.
The professor and Conseil probably belong to different social classes. Conseil might be the servant of the professor because of the following reasons:
(1) He never called the professor his title or his name, but called him master;
(2) He talked to the professor in a very polite and humble way, e.g. “If master would be so good as to hold onto my shoulder”;
(3) He tried his best to serve the professor even with his life.
Pair Work Think and share.
4. What kind of person is Conseil Find evidence
from the extract to support your judgement.
Conseil seems to be a kind and loyal person because Conseil swears he will drown before he leaves the professor.

The crash was so violent that I have no clear recollection of falling from the boat. Might I hope to be saved The darkness was intense. I saw a black mass disappearing in the east. It was the boat! I was lost.
20,000 Leagues Under The Sea
“Help, help!” I shouted, swimming towards the boat in desperation.
I was sinking! I couldn't breathe! “Help!” My mouth filled with water; I struggled against being drawn deeper, deeper down. Suddenly
I felt myself quickly drawn up to the surface of the sea; and I heard these words: “If master would be so good as to hold onto my shoulder, master would swim with much greater ease.” I grabbed my faithful
Conseil's arm with one hand.
“Is it you ” said I.
“Myself,” answered Conseil.
“That crash threw you as well as me into the sea ”
“No; but, being in my master's service, I followed him.”
Conseil was cool and calm. Nevertheless, our situation was no less terrible. Near one o'clock in the morning, I suddenly felt terribly tired. Conseil had to keep me up, and our preservation depended on him alone. “Leave
me! Leave me!” I said to him.
“Never!” replied he. “I would drown first.”
“Help! Help!” cried Conseil. It seemed to me as if a cry answered him. There was no mistake! A human voice responded to ours!
Then, I know not why, the thought of the strange, terrible animal came into my head for the first time! But that voice! I had almost no strength left; my fingers could hardly move; my mouth, opening and closing, filled with salt water. I became colder and colder. I raised my head for the last time. then I sank.
At this moment a hard body struck me. I held onto it; then I felt that I was being drawn up, that I was brought to the surface of the water,
that my chest collapsed — my eyes closed, unconscious. I soon woke up, and half opened my eyes. I saw a face which I immediately recognised. “Ned!”I cried.
“The same, sir!” replied the Canadian.
“Were you thrown into the sea when the boat crashed ’
“Yes, Professor, but more fortunate than you, I was able to find safety almost immediately upon this island in the sea. Or, more correctly
speaking, on this large whale. Only I soon found out why my weapon had not entered its skin, but bounced off.”
“Why, Ned, why ”
“Because that creature is made of steel.” I moved myself quickly to the top of the being, and kicked it. It
was evidently a hard, solid body. The black back that supported me was smooth, polished, nothing like an animal. The blow produced a sound of metal; and, incredible though it may be, it seemed as if it was made of metal plates. This monster was a human
construction. We were lying upon the back of a sort of underwater boat. I searched all over the outside for an
opening, a hole, but found nothing. At last this long night passed. Daybreak appeared. Suddenly a noise came from inside the boat. One iron plate was moved,
a man appeared, uttered an odd cry, and disappeared immediately. Some moments after, eight strong men, their faces covered, appeared noiselessly, and drew us down into their incredible machine.
