Unit 2
Natural disasters
Integrated skills (2)—
Speaking and Writing
1. To use proper expressions to discuss what might happen next in the story;
2. To continue the story about Mary’s family caught in a flood.
Lead-in
Last class we read the story about Mary’s family caught in a flood, what happened to them in the following story
Speaking
In pairs, discuss what might happen next in the story. Use the following questions to help you.
What if Mary and her parents try to leave their house What if they decide to stay at home
What safety tips from part A can be used to help Mary and her parents protect themselves
Will any new characters appear Who are they and what will they do
P24 C
A: Do you think they should leave immediately or stay
B: It’s a difficult choice to make. It’s a dilemma for sure.
A: Could you please explain what “dilemma” means
B: It’s a situation where one has to make a really difficult
choice. If they leave, they could get washed away. If they
stay and the rain continues, the downstairs will become
flooded.
Sample
A: I think they should stay. The house is the safest place.
They can move upstairs away from the flood. Besides,
their disaster supplies are up there and it’s more
dangerous outside!
B: What do you mean by that
A: There are damaged roads and power lines everywhere,
not to mention the moving water. At least they’ll be
protected from the bad weather at home.
B: That makes sense. But how will they know how long the
rain will continue and when the rescue workers will come
A: They can listen to the radio for more information. When
the rain stops and the rescue workers come knocking on
their door, they will be waiting—safe upstairs.
B: I agree. Also, it’s easier to identify rescue workers from
upstairs.
A: Exactly. I hope the rescuers arrive sooner rather than later,
and everyone will be safe in the end.
Writing
Continue the story about Mary’s family caught in a flood.
At the beginning of your writing, use transitional words or sentences to make connections with the first half of the story. Make sure the second half matches the first half in terms of characters and content.

Learning about the language
Dialogue is important in a story. It can show emotion, move the plot forward and reveal a character’s personality. Dialogue is usually placed inside quotation marks.
Tip
Follow the original language style and keep the style consistent.
Dialogues
“Mum, Dad,” said Mary suddenly, “I think we should leave here right away！”
“No,” said Dad. “It’s too late! The radio says the city has already been flooded.”
“We can drive our car through the floodwater! Let’s just leave! I’m really scared!” cried Mary.
“We can’t do that, honey,” explained Mum, “otherwise the moving water could wash the car away.”
“Don’t open the door!” shouted Mum and Dad at the same time. “The water may flood in!”
More specific words to replace say
cry, explain, shout, scream, yell, roar, whisper, add, continue, remark, repeat, complain, warn, reply, apologize, comfort, beg, refuse, answer, cheer …
Descriptions of scenes
It had been raining non-stop for three days.
The wind roared and the rain beat on the roof and windows.
The sudden silence in the house seemed to make the wind and rain more frightening outside.
The functions of scene descriptions
Specify the setting
Create tension
Move the plot forward
Descriptions of actions
Mary was looking through the windows at the endless rain outside.
Mary walked to the door. She was curious to see how much water there was outside.
Dad was listening to a weather report on the radio, while Mum was putting their important documents and disaster supplies into a bag.
Dad moved the dinner table against the door, in case the floodwater forced the door open.
Mum waved to Mary to sit on the sofa.
Without saying a single word, Dad walked to the sofa, sat down and hugged his wife and daughter.
Tips on describing actions

参考范文
Seeing that Mary was so scared, her father began to tell a story to relieve her. Mary’s mother was also worried, but she tried to hide herself.
After a while, Mary was about to fall asleep when someone knocked at the door wildly. Mary’s father walked to the door and opened it. Outside their house were some firefighters and a truck. Surprised and excited, Mary’s father began to call his wife and daughter. They got on the truck in a hurry.
The truck drove Mary and her parents to a shelter nearby. Mary’s mother was too scared to take their bag filled with some food and other supplies. Hearing their story, some kind volunteers gave them some food and water. Mary’s mother was so moved that tears began to roll down her cheeks.
