PairworkBoy: Can you tell us about the manatees, please?
Man: Sure. We’re trying to save them.
Boy: Why? Are they endangered?
Man: Yes. There used to be a lot of manatees, but now there aren’t very
many of them.
Boy: Do you know how many there are?
Man: At this point, there are only about 2500 in the U.S. In 1972, it was
discovered that they were endangered. Since then, the government
has passed laws to protect them.
Boy: Where do they live?
Man: Their favorite habitat is the water under the trees in mangrove swamps.
Boy: And why are they endangered?
Man: Some of the swamps have become polluted. Also, there sometimes
isn’t enough food for all of them. As you can see, they’re large. The
average manatee is about ten feet long and weighs about 1000
pounds. They need about 100 pounds of aquatic feed a day.
Boy: Aquatic feed?
Man: Oh, that’s underwater plants and vegetation. That’s what they eat.tapescriptsRead 2a on page of 138.How to protect animalsSet up a club to save the animals
Protect the environment.

…Discussion3b Dear Editor,
I visited our zoo yesterday and I was very surprised to find hardly anyone there. Zoos are very important places. They are like living textbooks for young people.They provide homes for many endangered animals and help to educate the public about caring for them. If we don't support our zoos, they won't have enough money to take care of so many fine animals. I urge all of your readers to visit our wonderful zoo soon.
Sincerely,
Animal Friend
True of False Questions:
(1). The zoo that the writer visited was very crowded. ( )
(2). He thinks the zoos are better homes for many endangered animals. ( )
(3). The writer is strongly against for keeping the animals in the zoos.( )FTFVsLet’s talk:
After watching the photos, what do you think about it?3a Dear Editor,
I am writing to say that I am against building a new zoo in our town. Zoos are terrible places for animals to live. I've visited a lot of zoos in my life, and I have never seen one I liked or one that was suitable for animals to live in. Just last week, I visited a zoo and couldn't believe what I saw. The animals are kept in tiny cages and can hardly move at all. And they are only given food once a day. Is this a good way for animals to live? I don't think so.
Sincerely ,
Disgusted
Answer my questions:
Why does Disgusted want to write this letter ?
Has he visited any zoos yet ?
What did he think of those zoos ?
Can you list the reasons that Disgusted is against ? What are they ? Underline the reasons why the writer is against the zoos.
(1). Zoos are terrible places for animals to live.
(2). The animals are kept in tiny cages and hardly move at all.
(3). They are only given food once a day.
Reading3a and 3bFill in the chart.Animals are kept in tiny cagesAnimals can hardly move at allAnimals are only given food once a day.Zoos are living textbook.Zoos provide homes for endangered animals.Educate people about caring for them.DebateZoos are good for animalsI think… I believe that…
I feel that…I agree with you. I disagree with you.Practice in groups:1.S1 : I think that animals shouldn’t be kept in zoos．
S2 : I believe that animals in zoos live longer than animals in the jungle.
2. S1: I think that animals should not live in zoos．
S2 : I disagree with you.I feel that zoos provide clean and safe places for endangered animals to live.3.S1: I think that zoos are not suitable for animals to live in．
S2: Why do you think so?
S1: Because animals there are only given food once a day.They’re hungry．
S2: I disagree with you． I believe that many animals only eat once a day or once every few days． So, there is no need to worry about that．
Make a report Today we had a dicussion of whether we need to build zoos to prtcect the endangered animals. _________________________________________
_________________________________________Firstly, zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world. Secondly, zoos look after the animals very well. Thirdly, zoos protect the animals and keep them from becoming extinct. Pros:Cons: Most animals are kept in small cages. Most cages are not clean, either. The food in the zoos is not natural. In the forest they can find the food by themselves.Summary Dear editor:
After reading the two letters, I realize that I must say something about animals and zoos． I don’t agree with Disgusted．In fact, many animals only eat once a day or once every few days, so feeding them just once a day is not a problem at all． I think zoos are very important to animals. They can stop many endangered animals from being killed or hunted．They can provide man with places for research work．Also we can visit the animals in the zoos to learn some knowledge to protect the animals better．

description
The average manatee is about ten feet long and weighs about 1, 000 pounds. They need about 100 pounds of aquatic feed a day.
In the end you are going to read the conversation. While reading, you must try to study all the predicates, underline all the expressions and blacken all the connectives.
2c Pairing and speaking
You are going to interview a zoo attendant. Now use the facts from above activities to role play a conversation between you and the attendant.
A: How big are manatees?
B: They’re about 10 feet long and they weigh about 1,000 pounds.
A: How much do they eat everyday?
B: They need about 100 pounds of aquatic feed a day.

Procedures
■Warming up by talking about how you would protect the animals
Wang Hua: Help put a stop to killing of animals for food.
Li Hong: I think that nobody should hunt animals for sport and people shouldn't destroy all the forests and cut down all the trees. And we should have no taxes.
Huo Jing: I want to save the endangered animals. I will never wear a fur coat and I can give money to WWF. They can save animals.
Guo Yang: I want scientists to stop using animals as experiments.
Fang Qing: I would like to get people to help clean up the environment so more animals wouldn't get caught in the trash people throw on the ground.

Da Shirong: I would like to suggest that all the kids that decided to have animals, should learn to love and protect them. Please be a responsible pet owner.
Xue Qinglin: I would like the world to stop harming animals and stop cutting down forests and trees
3a Reading and underlining
Turn to page 120. Disgusted has written a letter to the editor. Now read it to underline the reasons why Disgusted is opposed to zoos. While reading remember to cut/ the sentence into thought groups, study all the predicates, circle all the linking words and underline all the expressions.
Useful expressions from the text
write to say that …, be against building a …, in our town, terrible places for …to live, visit a lot of … in one’s life, be suitable for …to live in, just last week, be kept in tiny cages, can hardly move at all, be given food once a day, a good way
Now read the letter again to turn it into a conversation.
3b Reading and writing
A man called Animal Friend wrote a letter to the editor, too. Now read this letter on 120. While reading remember to cut/ the sentence into thought groups, study all the predicates, circle all the linking words and underline all the expressions. That’s grammar study, too.
Useful expressions from the text
visit a zoo, be very surprised to find …, very important places, living textbooks for …, provide homes for …, many endangered animals, educate the public about …, care for …, support zoos, have enough money, take care of …, urge … to visit wonderful zoos
Now read the letter again to turn it into a conversation.
4 Teaming up and debating
Next we are going to have a new activity—to debate.
Let’s make two teams. Team A is to debate against keeping animals in the zoos, and Team B is to debate for keeping animals in the zoos for protection and education of the people.
Useful expressions
I think that…
I agree with you.
I believe that…
I disagree with you.
I feel that…
I agree with…
A: I think that animals should not live in the zoos.
B: I disagree with you. I feel that zoos provide clean and safe places for endangered animals to live.
A: I don’t think so.
B: A zoo is a place where many different species of animal are kept and usually can be seen by members of the public.
A: Why can people go and see the animals in the forest?
B: In that case, more harm will be done to the animals.
A: Kept in the zoos animals are losing their natural nature of living.
B: Most modern zoos are also centers where animals are studied so that more animals in the forest could be saved and protected.
A: Some rare animals are dying out.
B: Yes, they are. Rare animals could be preserved when they are in danger of dying out.
A: You are right in saying that. But I still think that it is not right to put animals in the zoos. They belong to the forest, the river, the sky and the sea.
Period 4: Ranking, Speaking, and Listening (Page 121)
(How can we save endangered animals?)
Objectives
To review all the structures learned
To read, listen and speak about how to save endangered animals
Procedures
■Warming up by learning about recycling
To save animals we have to recycle what we use. So the nature is protected and the animals’ homes are protected. Then what is recycling?
Recycling is the reuse of thins that would otherwise be wastes. Everything can be reused and recycled. Old cars can be reused and recycled. Old radios and TV sets reused and recycled. The rubbishes reused and recycled.
To know more about how to save animals go to page 121.
1a Thinking and ranking
If all animals are endangered, if the earth is endangered, then we are endangered. What can we do to save the endangered animals, the endangered earth, and us human beings?
Now go to page 121, to rank the items in the box from the easiest to the most difficult.
5 Stop riding in cars
4 Recycle books and paper
1 Turn off the lights when you leave the room
2 Turn off the shower while you are washing your hair
3 Don’t use paper towels or napkins
1b Pairing and speaking
In pairs you are going to talk to compare your answers.
A: Recycling paper is really easy.
B: I agree. But it’s hard to stop riding in cars.
A: Turning off the lights when you leave the room is not difficult at all.
B: I agree. But there are some people who always leave their lights on when they are away.
A: Turning off the shower while you are washing your hair is not difficult to do.
B: No, it isn’t difficult to do. I don’t use paper towels or napkins.
A: Really? I have to learn from you to better protect our planet.
2a Listening and checking
Julia and Jack are talking about saving on the energy and others. Now listen to the tape and check on page 121 the things they are talking about.
Now go to page 137 and read the tapescript. While reading remember to cut/ the sentence into thought groups, study all the predicates, circle all the linking words and underline all the expressions. That’s grammar study, indeed.
Useful expressions from the conversation
turn off the lights, save electricity, usually do that, in a hurry, how come …, read …about …, the average person, turn off …, wash one’s hair, have very short hair, in the shower for a few minutes, take one’s own bags, go food shopping, stop riding in cars, start riding bikes, ride 45 minutes to and from school, live close to school
Now read the conversation again to turn it into an article.
2b Listening and checking
Listen again to check√the things that Julia is doing now, the things she will do in the future, and the things she would never do.
2c Pairing and speaking
We learned a lot from what Julia and Jack talked about. Now in pairs role play a conversation using the information from the chart above to say what is true for you.
A: We really shouldn’t use paper napkins, you know.
B: I know. I stopped using them last year.
A: We should fall into the habit of turning off the lights when we go out.
B: I have been doing that ever since I started schooling.
A: We had better turn off the shower when we are washing our hair.
B: I have never done that before, and I will never do that in the future, either.
A: Why, are you not a good citizen?
B: Yes, I am a good citizen. You see I keep very short hair. I am only in the shower for a few seconds.
A: And we should take our own bags when shopping.
B: I agree with you. Next time I go shopping to Meet All Supermarket I will refuse to accept the plastic bags that are offered there.
A: What about not riding in cars?
B: What? Not riding in cars to school?
A: Yes, you may take the school bus to and from school.
B: All right. I agree not to ride in the cars.
