Procedures
▇ Reading fast facts about animals
I am sure all of you are fond of animals. But how much do you know about them? Here are some interesting facts about them. Read them in pairs.
Is a world population of 6 billion too many? Compare that with animals. There are more than a million animal species. There are 6,000 species of reptiles, 73,000 kinds of spiders, and 3,000 types of lice. For each person there is about 200 million insects. The 4,600 kinds of mammals represent a mere 0,3% of animals and the 9000 kinds of birds only 0,7%. The most numerous bird specie is the red-billed quelea of southern Africa. There are an estimated 100 trillion of them.
Mammals are the only animals with flaps around the ears.
African elephants only have four teeth to chew their food with.
There are about one billion cattle in the world of which 200 million are in India.

A dog was the first in space and a sheep, a duck and a rooster the first to fly in a hot air balloon.
The oldest breed of dog is the Saluki.
The bee hummingbird of Cuba is the smallest bird in the world.
An ostrich can run up to 70 km/h (43mph).
An annoyed camel will spit at a person.
The world's smallest dog is the Chihuahua, which means "tiny dog in the sky."

A group of geese on the ground is a gaggle - a group of geese in the air is a skein. More
The South American giant anteater eats more than 30,000 ants a day.
It is impossible to out-swim a shark - sharks reach speeds of 70 km/h (44 mph). Humans can run about 35 km/h (21 mph).
The sailfish is the fastest swimmer, reaching 109 km/h (68 mph).
The slowest fish is the Sea Horse, which moves along at about 0.016 km/h (0.01 mph).
Dolphins can reach 60 km/h (37 mph).

The heart of a blue whale is the size of a small car.
The tongue of a blue whale is as long as an elephant.
The scales of a crocodile are made of ceratin, the same substance that hooves and fingernails are made of.
A crocodile's tongue is attached to the roof of its mouth and cannot move it.
A snail has two pairs of tentacles on its head. One pair is longer than the other and houses the eyes. The shorter pair is used for smelling and feeling its way around.
The heaviest crustacean ever found was a lobster weighing 19 kg (42 lb), caught in 1934.
The largest jellyfish ever caught measured 2,3 m (7'6") across the bell with a tentacle of 36 m (120 ft) long.
The largest giant squid ever recorded was captured in the North Atlantic in 1878. It weighed 4 tons. Its tentacles measured 10 m (35 ft) long.
The giant squid has the biggest eyes of any animal: its eyes measure 40 cm (16 in) in diameter.
Domestic cats purr at about 26 cycles per second, the same frequency as an idling diesel engine.
Sharks are immune to all known diseases.
Sharks and rays also share the same kind of skin: instead of scales, they have small tooth-like spikes called denticles. The spikes are so sharp that shark skin has long been used as sandpaper.
Animals also are either right-handed or left-handed. Polar bears are left-handed - and so is Kermit the Frog.
There are 701 types of pure breed dogs.
There are about 53 million dogs in the US, and Paris is said to have more dogs than people.
Some bird species, usually flightless birds, have only a lower eyelid, whereas pigeons use upper and lower lids to blink.
Fish and insects do not have eyelids - their eyes are protected by a hardened lens.
Measured in straight flight, the spine-tailed swift is the fastest bird. It flies 170 km/h (106 mph). Second fastest is the Frigate, which reaches 150 km/h (94 mph).
Millions of trees are accidentally planted by squirrels who bury nuts and then forget where they hid them.

New Zealand is home to 4 million people and 70 million sheep.
■Writing a description of animals
The Siberian Tiger
The Siberian Tiger is found in eastern Russia, where they are now being actively protected. About 10% of Siberian tiger populations are in China.
The Siberian Tiger can weigh as much as 650lb (300 kg). In years past, scientists believed that these cats could weigh up to 800lb (350 kg). Apart from the size, Siberian tigers are different from other tigers by their paler fur and dark brown, rather than black, stripes. Since it is estimated that 85% of a Siberian Tiger's diet is composed of red deer and wild boar, protecting these and other prey animals from illegal hunting may be just as important to the tiger's survival as preventing direct killing of the big cats.
The Blue Whale
The Blue Whale is a marine mammal belonging to the suborder of baleen whales. Blue Whales are believed to be the largest animal ever to have lived, at up to 30 metres (100 feet) in length and 140 tons (150 short tons) or more in weight.
Blue Whales were rich in most oceans around the world up until the beginning of the 20th century. For the first 40 years of that century they were hunted by whalers almost to extinction. Hunting of the species was outlawed by the international community in 1966. The current world population is between three and four thousand individuals, which are located in four (or possibly five) groups, the largest of which is in the North-East Pacific. There are two groups in the North Atlantic and one in Antarctic waters. Blue Whales found in the Indian Ocean may or may not be part of the Antarctic group.
The African savannah elephant
The African savannah elephant is the best-known and larger of the two African elephants. Both it and the forest elephant were previously classified as a single species, which was known simply as the African elephant. It is also known as the bush elephant or African bush elephant.
The Savannah Elephant can range from 6–7.3 m (20–24 ft) long and 3–4 m (10–13 ft) high. At up to 10,000 kg (22,000 lb) it is the largest land animal in the world.
Relatively little scientific research has been carried out into elephants' cognitive or perceptual abilities. An exception is a recent report that African elephants are able to use seismic vibrations at infrasound frequencies for communication.
The Northern Bald Ibis
The Northern Bald Ibis is a species of ibis.
This is a large glossy black ibis, with a red face, red "bald" head and red bill. It breeds colonially on cliffs in rocky deserts in Africa north of the Sahara. Its food is insects and other small creatures.
This species is officially critically endangered, with an estimated population in of 420 in the wild [1] and about 1500 in captivity (2004). It retains only a foothold in Morocco, Turkey and Syria. There is a programme ongoing to reintroduce the species into the wild in Austria and Italy.
Reading and Writing
Purpose: To develop Ss’ writing ability and enable Ss to know how to write a description of an animal.
1. Read the table and say which animal the sentences refer to.
Suggested answer:
1) African Elephant 2) Siberian Tiger
3) Northern Bald Ibis 4) Blue Whale
2. Read the description of the Siberian tiger, and analyze how to describe an animal.
3. Write a similar description of another animal in the table.
Sample:
Blue Whale
Whale is the biggest animal in the world, which weighs 100 tons or more. But you can’t believe such a huge animal is just fed on plankton. And it also faces an extinction problem, hunted for oil and meat. Recently, less than 5000 or perhaps only 2000 are surviving. As a result, if you want to have a look at it, you must go to the Arctic Oceans and the Antarctic Waters.
Siberian Tiger
The Siberian Tiger, which feeds on deer or wild pigs, is the largest member of the cat family. Its body parts used to be used in traditional medicine, so it was hunted all the time. As a result, it become a species getting extinct. Today, only about 100survive and hardly can it be found except forest in Siberia and northeast China. Definitely, we should try our best to make it rescued.
The African Elephant
The African Elephant is the world’s biggest land mammal animal. However, it is on the brink of extinction. Only eats grass, leaves and fruit, its number from 1.3million in 1980 had fallen about 400,000, for its ivory is valuable. According to reports, the biggest African Elephant was shot on November 7th ,1974.
It’s a privilege to protect animals, not a duty. Otherwise, when the world became a lonely heaven, we will regret. ?

本模块的写作任务是描写动物，是一篇描写文。在写作中，学生往往是无法自己创造语言的，所以写作在很大程度上是模仿的过程。因此教师在授课中，先让学生收集信息，然后整理信息，再使用自己的语言写作，完成了学习语言中模仿的过程，即“词汇—短语—简单句—复杂句—过度词语—整合全文”的过程，帮助学生由浅到深地提高写作能力。
