Reading Ask students to read after the tape first. Work in pairs and read the conversation repeatedly and then ask some pairs to act out the conversation.

It was interesting to learn about the Wolong Panda Reserve. But it’s sad to think about all those animals in danger. The surprising thing was to hear how many animals are in danger.

Step IV Speaking (7: P73) Pronunciation T: In English, a sentence can be divided into several parts or groups. When we read these sentences, we can often pause between these groups. Now listen to and repeat the sentences in activity 6. Speaking Ask students to work in pairs. Ask and answer the questions in activity 7. T: Whales are large animals in the sea. Some whales can weigh 160 ton. They are really frightening. But are you surprised to find out that whales are in danger? Why do some animals have no place to live in? … Now work in pairs and discuss the questions in activity 7. Sample conversation: S: I learned about whales when I was very young. They are very large animals. I thought human beings are afraid of such animals. S: But now whales are in danger too. It’s surprising! S: Whales are hunted for meat and skin. They have no place to live in. S: I think it’s because human beings destroyed or polluted their living places. S: I agree. I think it’s cruel for human beings to kill animals for their meat. S: I don’t think so. If we don’t eat animals, what to eat? S: We can eat vegetables and fruits. Most people do so now. S: I can’t agree. I think some animals are for eating. S: Till now, many animals have bee endangered or extinct. Most people want to help animals in danger. And I would like to find out more about animals in danger. S: Me, too. Let’s try to do something to protect these animals. Then ask them to work with a partner and talk about the animals in Activity 1 and then report the discussion results. Sample version: The elephant is the most important animal to protect. There are many elephants work for people, but many people kill the elephants for their teeth.
