2. What does David think about training
wild animals to do tricks?
David thinks training wild animals to
do tricks is crazy.3 Listen again and answer the
questions.3. Does Ji Yang think it is a problem for
the polar bears to leave their cold home
in the Arctic? Why or why not?
Ji Yang doesn’t think it’s a problem for
polar bears to leave the Arctic, because
they have ice and cold water to swim
and play in so they’re not too hot.David Evans and Ji Yang are visiting Sea World in Australia.SEA WORLD – A FISHY EXPERIENCED= David JY= Ji YangListening textD: Where do you want to start? Here’s a park map from the information centre.
JY: There are at least two things I really want to do. There’s a show where people water ski on bare feet, and then there’s a dolphin show that’s one of the best in the world. The dolphins are trained to do amazing tricks. After the show we can feed them.D: Tricks? I think training wild animals to do
tricks is crazy – wild animals shouldn’t be
forced to do tricks! How about that roller
coaster? It looks like fun.
JY: Nah – we can go on a roller coaster in any
amusement park. It would be more fun to go
and see the polar bears. There are two little
ones and two big ones that were brought
from the Arctic.D: That’s crazy! Australia’s Gold Coast is too hot for polar bears—we should just leave them in the Arctic!
JY: Oh, don’t worry – they have ice and cold water for the polar bears to swim and play in, so they’re not too hot! After we see the bears, I think it would be fun to do some diving and see some colourful fish.D: I’ve read about their rescue programme and I’d really like to find out more about it. They save fish, sea birds and other endangered species. So it’s not just an amusement park.
JY: Well, you can get educated – and I’ll have some fun!Useful expressionsIn my opinion…

I’m afraid I have to disagree.
I’m sorry, but I don’t agree.
But have you considered that…? Talking on page 69Sample dialogue:
S1: Do you think it is right or wrong to
teach wild animals to do tricks?
S2: Well, I think it’s OK! The animals
have a good life in the zoo or park, so
I think it’s no problem for them to learn
to do something funny for us to laugh at.
What do you think?S1: Well , I can see your point, but I also see that it’s not natural. People have taken them out of their natural environment and then forced them to learn tricks. Wild animals are not pets!
S2: Yes, I understand, but no one is hurting the animals! I think the animals really enjoy learning new things and have a good relationship with their trainers.S1: That may be true in some zoos and parks, but I don’t think most wild animals like to learn tricks – they are being forced to do something that is against their nature.
S2: Well, then do you think it is right or wrong to take wild animals out of their natural environment and bring them to live in zoos?S1: I have to say I think it’s wrong. I think people should protect the natural environment for wild
animals, not take them out.
S2: But bringing the wild animals to live in zoos and parks has allowed scientists many opportunities to study them more closely. They have used this knowledge to help wild animals still in their natural environment.S1: Yes, that’s true, but they needn’t keep the
animals in the zoos for their whole lives, They
ought to return the animals to the wild. I read
that some animals in zoos have difficulty
having babies. Some animals cannot continue
their family line because of the environment
of zoos.
S2: But I read that many zoos will not buy
wild animals any more- they will only buy
animals born in other zoos, so some zoo
animals must be able to have babies. The Plynesian cultural centre Reading task on Page 72 The Polynesian Cultural Center in

of their boats. To build a boat like this,
you need a very tall, straight tree. You first
cut down the tree and remove the branches.
Then you cut the tree in half so you have
two long pieces of wood. You use one piece
to make the boat. Remove the inside for a
person to sit in. Take the bark off the
outside of the boat and put oil on it so it
will easily go through the sea. Some
Polynesian boats have sails. Over here, we have a house made of
palm leaves and branches. To make a house
like this, you need to collect a LOT of
palm leaves! After collecting them, weave
them together to make a large flat piece.
This is the “wall” of the house, so you will
need to make it very long. Part 2After finishing the wall, join the two edges by weaving the ends of the palm leaves together. Then put sticks up to hold the wall up. Finally, make two other flat pieces of palm leaves for the roof, and place them on top so that water can drip onto the ground when it rains. Now you have a palm tree house!一、单词拼写
