Does Bob share his worry?
Do you think by the end of the conversation, Bob has talked Wei ping into going camping? Why do you think so?1 What is Wei Ping worried about?
He is worried about snakes.
2 Does Bob share his worry?
No. Because he does not believe they are likely to see any and he knows what precautions to take against being bitten.3 Do you think by the end of the conversation, Bob has talked Wei ping into going camping? Why do you think so?
He probably has talked him around because he assured Wei Ping that there was very little danger. Also the fact that Wei Ping summarized the advice Bob gave him suggests that he has accepted bob’s assurances.How to avoid _______ bites

2 Why can’t Wei Ping make a snake run away? 1 Why did Wei Ping misunderstand bob
when he said “ When we walk through the bush…”?
Because Wei Ping may think the bush means wild and dangerous land, but Australians use it to mean the countryside where there aren’t any houses or farms or other signs of humans.
Why can’t Wei Ping make a snake run away?
Because snakes don’t have legs (this is where the humor lies)Listening textA CAMPING HOLIDAY
Wei Ping (P) is studying at university in Australia. Just before the summer holidays his friend Bob Martins (B) invites him to go camping. Wei Ping is a little nervous about this.B: Here is your coffee.
P: Mmm. thanks.
B: So have you finished all the work for
this term?
P: Yes, I’ve just finished the last essay.
Now I am really looking forward to the
holidays.
B: Oh? Have you got anything planned?
P: No, not really.B: Well, why don’t you come camping
with me and my friends?
P: Oh, that’s very kind of you but …
B: But?
P: Well, you see I’m terrified of snakes.
B: Really? Oh, you don’t have to worry.
Snakes are scared of humans and they
move away as soon as they hear you
coming. Just remember to make a lot
of noise with your feet.P: Yes, but what if one is hiding under
some wood and I disturb it
B: Well, the best thing is not to move any large
pieces of wood. O, and as much as possible,
avoid walking in really long grass where you
can’t see what’s on the ground. And if you
do have to walk through long grass, you
should wear boots and long trousers that you
can fold inside your boots. Then, if a snake
did try to bit you, it wouldn’t get to your skin.P: I don’t know. It still sounds dangerous.
B: Look, most snakes can’t kill you anyway.
And we always stay in camping grounds
that have short grass so we hardly ever see
snakes. And when we go into to the bush
we always make a lot of noise.
P: Bushes? Are we going to walk through
bushes?P: I don’t know. It still sounds dangerous.
B: Look, most snakes can’t kill you anyway.
And we always stay in camping grounds
that have short grass so we hardly ever see
snakes. And when we go into to the bush
we always make a lot of noise.
P: Bushes? Are we going to walk through
bushes?B: No, the Bush! That’s what Australians call
the part of the countryside where there
aren’t any houses or farms or other signs
of humans. You know, the natural areas
with trees and grasses.
P: Oh, I see. So, when you go into the bush
you must wear boots and long trousers.
You shouldn’t move anything that is lying
on the ground and you must make a lot of
noise so the snakes run away.B: You’ve got the right idea. But I son’t
think you’ll be able to make the snakes
run away
P: But you said…
B: Snakes don’t have legs, mate.Reading on page 27AUSTRALIA’S DANGEROUS CREATURESA funnelweb spiderA box jellyfishA brown snakeA great white sharkA saltwater crocodile1. How many poisonous snakes and how many poisonous spiders are there in Australia? Are they all capable of killing humans?

The island used to be a very harsh prison for the most dangerous prisoners. In your group discuss the best ways to protect yourself from each of the dangerous animals in the reading passage. The following information may help you.How to protect yourself from these dangerous animals?Saltwater crocodiles are found a long way from settlements only in the far north of Australia near rivers and waterholes. There are usually signs to warn people that crocodiles are in the area. Crocodiles stay hidden in the water or on the land close to water.Many beaches have shark nets to keep sharks away from swimmers. In hot weather, small planes fly along the coast looking out for sharks. If one is spotted an alarm is sounded to warn peole to get out of the water.Spiders are usually found in dark, dry places, under stones or amongst rubbish. The poison is slow acting so there is plenty of time to get to the hospital.When jellyfish are close to the beach, you usually find a few dead ones on the beach. Vinegars can help relieve the sting of jellyfish. If a person has trouble breathing or become unconscious, they should be taken to hospital immediately. the beautiful scenery of the Three?Gorges

I am thinking of going on a camping trip in the Northern Territory. The trip is organized by a well-known tourist company with a good reputation.
We will be camping some of the time in Dawin and some of the time in Kakadu National Park. It sounds like lots of fun and I would see lots of wildlife, but I’ve heard so much about the dangerous creatures in Australia that I’m a bit scared about going out of the city.
Perhaps I’d be better staying in Sydney. I know there are lots of interesting things to see there too. What do you think I should do?
Best wishes

Thanks for you email. How wonderful for you that you are going to Australia.
I think you’ll have a great time on the camping trip and you’ll get to see native animals in their natural setting. Also you’ll make some good friends on the trip, which is much more difficult while staying in a hotel in the city.
Don’t worry abut the dangerous creatures. They Sample Writingare not as dangerous as some people think and anyway you’ll be with an experienced tour guide who will keep you safe. Just do everything the guide says and you’ll have a safe and enjoyable time.
Do write again when you get back and tell me all about your trip.
Your friend,
JohnDear Haidi,
Aren’t you lucky going all the way to Australia? I’m sure whatever you do, you’ll have a good time.
Personally, I would rather visit Sydney. I’m not very fond of sleeping in tents and I like to have my own nice, clean bathroom. Also there are mosquitoes in the National park and I always suffer from mosquito bites.Sydney is a very nice city and the weather is usually good. There are all sorts of interesting places to see, like the Sydney Opera House and the harbor bridge, and there are lots of wildlife parks you can visit to see native animals. Plus there are lots of great shops and restaurants in Sydney and the nightlife is pretty good too.
I think you would have a good time whicheverholiday you went on. You’re more adventurous than me so you would probably enjoy camping. Don’t worry about the dangerous creatures--- you’ll be quite safe on an organized tour.
Have a good time wherever you go and write back and tell me about it. Love, Murray There are a large number of wild
animals in Australia. Please collect
enough information of other animals
in Australia and write a report.Homework退出The end课件28张PPT。Leaning about LanguageDiscovering useful words and expressions Complete the sentences with words below.1.

Read the paragraph below, paying particular attention to the underlined words, some of which may be new to you. Try to work out the definitions of these words and write them down in the second column. Then check your answer using an English-English dictionary and write the dictionary definitions in the third column.The first migrants arrived in Australia after
a long voyage on small sailing ships. Life
was very tough at first because they did not
have adequate equipment or food. One of
the first things they did was to dig the soil
and sow vegetable seeds. However, it wasn’t
easy to grow enough food for everyone and
in the first few years they faced starvation.
Despite all the hardships of those early years,
many of the migrants succeeded in building
a good life for themselves. In the early days,
There were not nearly as many women
migrants as there were males, so many of the
men remained bachelors. Many dreamed of
having a wife who would share their life and work alongside them as they built houses
and established farms. Within a reasonably
short time some had established large sheep
farms and began to export meat and wool
back to England. We know a lot about these
early years of European settlement because
most migrants corresponded with their
families at home and many of their letters still
survive. These early settlers owed their
survival to hard work and determination to
succeed. You will find it easier to learn English words in clusters. Read aloud the following words and write down as many words related to them as possible. Compare your lists with a partner.3.Example: rain, rainbow, rainfall, rainy, raindrop, raincoat, rainforest, rainwaterrain tax home rust time night autonomy defend tolerate celebrate nation city birth associate reserve waytax: taxation, taxed, taxable, taxman, taxpayer

Leaning about LanguageDiscovering useful structures Read through this paragraph and underline all the predicative. 1. A kangaroo kept getting out of his enclosure at the zoo. Knowing that he was a good jumper, the zoo authorities increased the height of the fence around him, but, the next morning, the kangaroo was out of his enclosure again. So the keepers’ solution was to build an even higher barrier. However, the next morning, the result was disappointing--- the kangaroo was not in his enclosure. The authorities, being desperate, increased the height of the fence again and again and it was soon over forty meters high. A camel in the next enclosure asked the kangaroo, “How high do you think they’ll go?” The kangaroo said, “ That's a good question. It seems to me, they’ll just keep going higher until somebody remembers to shut the gate at night!” Underline the predicative in this conversation and then practice it with a partner.2.KIM: The meat seems to be shrinking!

In what part of Australia do you think most agriculture takes place? Give reasons.
Why do you think the population of Australia is so small when it is such a large country?
Choose five words or phrases to describe Australia.What kind of people do you think make Australia their home?
People chose to settle in Australia might be : 1) want a better life than they had at home , a change of lifestyle or a challenge; 2) attracted by the climate, the beauty of the country or the opportunity to improve the situation that they had in their original country; 3) forced to leave their country for some reason and must find somewhere else to live. So we have a reason to believe that people who go to a new country to start again are likely to be courageous, curious and strong minded, and they enjoy challenges, since there might be tremendous hardships. They are probably confident of their abilities and open to new ideas and ways of doing things.2. Each year large numbers of people became Australian citizens. Why do you think they choose to become citizens?They choose to become Australian citizens in order to feel truly a part of their new country, to feel secure in their new country and know they cannot be made to leave, or to gain an Australia passport and enjoy the rights of a citizen. Only Australian citizens can vote so some may take a greater part in political life of the country.3. When do you think traveling by train across Australia would be appropriate and when do you think traveling by plane would be most suitable? Obliviously, if you have to get to your destination quickly, you would travel by plane. It is also cheaper to travel by plane as these long distance train is luxurious and therefore expensive. You might travel by train for the experience or to view the scenery on your journey. You might travel by train because you are frightened of flying.4.In what part of Australia do you think most agriculture takes place? Give reasons.(Text 1 is most relevant for this question.) As you need water to grow things, farming is most suitable in the wetter, coastal areas of the country.5. Why do you think the population of Australia is so small when it is such a large country?Part of the reason is that much of the centre of Australia is uninhabitable desert. Another reason is that the Aboriginal population was fairly stable for thousands of years and others settled in the country just over two hundred years ago. A third reason is that the government has strict quotas on how many people can immigrate to the country. 1.
