The following I will give you something
to choose and write down their names as many as possible.Now write down the words as many as possible. Let’s go!Talking on P55
This activity requires students to think critically and learn
to be resourceful. Two sample dialogues are as follows:1. A: Well, I’m not sure about some of these things but I know
a can/tin opener is not very useful.
B: Why not?
A: Think about it: cans/tins are heavy to carry on a bike. So
no cans/tins means no can/tin openers.
B: Yes, you are right.And I’m not sure about the need for an
umbrella.
A: But certainly it will rain on their trip. So it is useful.
B: I disagree. How can you hold an umbrella and ride a bike?
A: Oh, yeah, I see what you mean. So they should have
raincoats.
B: Yes, and raincoats are not as heavy. A: How about the radio? I mean, can they really use it?
B: Maybe in China to get the weather.
A: Yes, sure, but most of the trip is not in China. They don’t
know the languages.
B: Right, OK, so we agree that a can/tin opener, umbrellas
and a radio are useless.
A: So which is the most useless? 2. A: I think a tent and a blanket are the most useful.
B: I agree, they need them to spend night. And I’m sure of
the need of a compass.
A: I don’t think so. As long as they travel down the river,
they’ll never lose their way.
B: Yes, how about a water bottle?
A: In my opinion it’s the most useful. They need water all
the way.B: Right. I’m sure they need a map.
A: Yes, if they have a map, they’ll know where they are.
B: Now a tent, a blanket and a map are the most useful.SummaryHomework:Read the text again and find the useful words and expressions.
