A text play（课本剧）of HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFE Daisy: (waking) Who are you? Why are you here in my bedroom? Chair: Excuse me. I am the famous Flying Chair.

Daisy: What are you here for? Chair: I am here to take you on a trip. Where would you go? Daisy:

I’d like to see animals that gave furs to make this sweater of mine. Chair:

During the history of the earth there have lived on the earth many, many kinds of animals. But many have disappeared because of various reasons. Daisy: Yes, you are right. I learned from books that tens of millions of years ago, a rare new species of dinosaur, a bird-like dinosaur, came into being. It could climb trees and was very lovely. Then it died out because something hit the earth suddenly, putting much dust into the air. So the earth got too hot for the animal to live on. Chair: But no one knows for sure what caused all those ancient animals to die out, disappearing from the earth for ever. Daisy: I shall get dressed and put on my jeans and sweater soon. Then let’s fly away to Tibet China to see the antelopes. Chair: Here we are in Tibet! Turn around. There is a antelope there with a sad face. Antelope: Hello, friends. Welcome to my home. You two look so friendly, unlike those who came to kill us to use our furs make sweaters.

Daisy: Sweaters like the one I am wearing?

Oh, I am terribly sorry.

Antelope: The bad men came in groups to kill my family members for the wool. They took it from under our stomach.

Chair: I shall take a picture of you and the antelope, to be shown to all the world people. Daisy:

Come Antelope! Let’s have a picture taken together. We shall be off to Zimbabwe too see elephants there. Chair: Here we are. This is a national park for animals. People came to see them and help with them. Daisy: Look, there comes an excited elephant. Hello, dear Elephant! Why are you so excited? Elephant: We are all excited because things have changed a lot here.

Chair: Why? What happened? Elephant: We became endangered years ago. People came to destroy the farm and kill us for trunks. They are actually our long teeth.

Daisy: I have heard of that. They take your teeth and make them into art work. Chair:

Man is really selfish and disgusting. But Daisy is a nice girl. Now let’s have a picture taken together. Elephant: Those bad men used to come and kill us. But now are well protected by the government and the good people. We are happy now.

Daisy: Good- bye, Elephant! Chair: Take care, Daisy. We shall hurry to our last stop, the thick rain forest in South America.

Daisy:

Wow! Look to the right. A lovely mother monkey is there. She seems to be rubbing herself. Hi, Monkey Mother! What are you doing? Monkey: I am rubbing a millipede insect over my body to protect myself from the mosquitoes. Daisy: How intelligent you are!

Monkey:

It contains a powerful drug which affects mosquitoes. There are lots of plants and little animals in the rain forest here which can be helpful to man. Daisy: Is that so? I am going to take photos of all those useful plants and animals. I will show the photos to my classmates so that they understand you lovely animals and the forest better. I will apply to be allowed to work here to help you get a better living in the forest. Monkey: Thank you so much! Some unfriendly people came to catch us, to put us in the zoo in the city. We monkeys prefer living in the forest.

Daisy: Good- bye, Monkey! I will report what I learned on this trip to WWF. I will invite all my schoolmates to join us in the protecting project. The future is to be bright for both you the animals and us the human beings. See you!

5. Studying the passive voice, focusing on the present perfect passive voice Passive Voice

The passive voice is used when focusing on the person or thing affected by an action.

The Passive is formed: Passive Subject + To Be + Past Participle

It is often used in business and in other areas where the object of the action is more important than those who perform the action. For Example: We have produced over 20 different models in the past two years. Changes to: Over 20 different models have been produced in the past two years.

If the agent (the performer of the action) is important, use “by”

For Example: Tim Wilson wrote “The Flight to Brunnswick”

in 1987. Changes to: “The Flight to Brunnswick”

was written in 1987 by Tim Wilson.

Only verbs that take an object can be used in the passive.

The following chart includes sentences changed from the active to the passive in the principal tenses.
