To help students rewrite the read text Procedures 1. Warming up by reading about going camping

When I was younger I went camping all the time but now I never go and every summer I say that I’m going to and it never happens, so I’m hoping this summer I finally do it. My and my boyfriend want to go hiking up in the white mountains and I would really like to go camping up there as well. We’ll see….

I can’t wait! To be at the lake and cooking around the fire. Sleeping in the tent(on an air mattress) MMMM the coffee! LOL I went camping all over Southern Ireland. I’ve had a fantastic time. you meet really nice people, and the cost is better. It’s a great way to see the country. I need to get out of town for a mini-vacation, probably over the weekend. I’d like my boyfriend to come with me. I’m not sure where I’m going. I might even leave w/o a destination in mind. Fun,

fun.

I’d probably sleep in the car. It’s not camping only. I could do everything else though. Like go to a lake, have a bonfire, and be stinky w/o a shower. Good times. 2. Listening about camping Go to page 26, please. We shall listen to a conversation between Bob and Wei Ping about their would- be going camping in the summer holiday. 3. Reading for forms

Read the text AUSTRALIA'S DANGEROUS CREATURES on page 27 to: cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the predicative, darken the connectives and underline all the useful expressions.

4. Copying useful expressions and making sentences be home to…, different kinds of,

have more…than any other country in the world, the poison of most snakes, be disturbed and feel threatened, have a poisonous bite, have no effect on…, have venom, kill a human being,

without any medical treatment, vary in size from just 20 centimetres to over 14 metres, look dangerous, all but two or three kinds, be harmless to…, another potentially dangerous sea animal, cause severe pain to sb., be worth doing, be aware that…, a handful of…, reported deaths 5. Writing a reply Read the email on page 29 first. And then write a reply to Li Haidi. Dear Li Haidi, I am pleased that you emailed me yesterday. I learned that you are going on a camping trip in the Northern Territory. I think all you really need is food, water and shelter to survive. Keeping this in mind camping is actually pretty luxurious. So take as much food and water with you as possible. Or take lots of money. You can buy food and water on the way to and from the camping.

I hope you will find my advice useful.

Best wishes,

Wang Zhen Dear Li Haidi, I think you can go camping during the holiday. It might be fun!

I spent a lot of time as a child in the wilderness. Those are some of my fondest memories and happiest times. I haven’t gone camping yet as an adult and I don’t know what keeps stopping me. Other than no $$ for equipment, not enough time, etc. I want to go somewhere away from other people and just soak up nature. I want to lay on the ground at night and watch the amazing, infinite sky. I want to hear the streams and frogs and crickets and birds and bees…smell the campfire and the forest. I want to put my feet into the icy cold stream and go, “brrrr!” I want to find cool rocks. Guess I better start planning this :) I hope you will find my advice useful.

Best wishes,

Mary Smith Dear Li Haidi, Happy to get your email. You are right to choose to go camping. My boyfriend (giggling ensues, still love that!) and I are planning a camping trip this summer in Maine. Yea, it will be absolutely beautiful. I am so excited! And I will be so out of my element, but also so in my element. Go camping! Best wishes,

Closing down by writing, by imitation, a passage of your own based on the text on page 27 A possible version Wuyishan is home to more than 5,110 different kinds of animals．In fact，Wuyishan has more kinds of snake than any other area in the world．Luckily, the poison of most snakes can kill or paralyze only small creatures. A few varieties，however，can kill humans，so it is just as well /that snakes are very shy /and usually attack /only if they are disturbed/ and feel threatened．

There are also approximately 3, 728 different kinds of plants in Wuyishan. The mountains around Wuyi City contain over 160 different kinds of vegetables, which vary in size /from just 20 centimetres/ to over one metre．However，although they look nice because of their colors and shapes, all /but two/ or three kinds taste bad to humans．
