He is worried about snakes.

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 text
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.
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.

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.

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 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

Dear Haidi,
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

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,

Dear 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 whichever
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, Murray
Homework
