the dangerous animals in the reading passage. The following information may help you.P28 T: Now do the task according to the instructions. (Allow them enough time) Which groups want to present yours? Group 1: If we are visiting the far north of Australia near rivers and waterholes, we should pay special attention to the signs which warn us that the crocodile are in the area. when we see the signs we should not dive deeply in the water nor walk on the land near the water. Group 2: When we are visiting beaches, try to keep ourselves away from shark nets and when we hear an alarm is sounded, try to get out of the water quickly. Group 3: Since spiders are usually found in dark, dry places, under stones or amongst rubbish, we should avoid going to these places. If we are bitten by a spider, we should get to a hospital. But never panic. Because the poison is slow acting, and we have plenty of time.

Group 4: When we find a few dead jellyfish on the beach, it means that there are some jellyfish nearby. So we should get out of the place. If we do visit the beach where there are jellyfish we should bring some vinegar, because it can relieve the sting. But if we have trouble breathing or become unconscious, we should be taken to hospital immediately. How to avoid sharks’ bites
