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. 2). Why can’t Wei Ping make a snake run away?
Because snakes don’t have legs (this is
where the humor lies)A 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.Listening text B: Here is your coffee.
P: Mmm. Thanks.
B: So have you finished all your 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. Oh, 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 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 grass and
native animals.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 don’t
think you’ll be able to make the snakes
run away.
P: But you said…
B: Snakes don’t have legs, mate.AUSTRALIA’S DANGEROUS CREATURESA funnelweb spiderA box jellyfishA brown snakeA great white sharkA saltwater crocodileHow many poisonous snakes and how
many poisonous spiders are there in
Australia? Are they all capable of

humans? What about box jellyfish?
Most jellyfish can cause severe pain to anyone who touches them but only the box jellyfish can kill a human.4. What kind of crocodile has occasionally
attacked a human?
The saltwater crocodile.3. How many kinds of sharks are there in Australian waters? How many kinds are likely attack humans?
160 different kinds of sharks but only 2 or 3 kinds are likely to attack humans. 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 people 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. Vinegar can help relieve the sting of jellyfish. If a person has trouble breathing or becomes unconscious, they should be taken to hospital immediately.Debating Australia is a dangerous place to visit.VSAgainstForWritingRead this email and write a reply.Dear _______,
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 Darwin 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,
Li Haidi This email ask you for advice, so you should plan your replay carefully, you need to:list all the reasons for and against the trip;
decide on your point of view with reasons;
put the reasons in the order of importance;Write your email in this way:
1. tell Li Haidi what you suggest
2. give each of your reasons in
one paragraph
Finish it in this way:
I hope you will find my advice useful. Best wishes, (your signature)Dear Haidi,
Thanks for your email. How wonderful it is 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.
Sample WritingsDon’t worry abut the dangerous creatures. They are 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 timewhichever holiday 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, MurrayHomework There are a large number of wild animals in Australia. Please collect enough information of other animals in Australia and write a report.
