Why was it necessary for Shackleton to travel to South Georgia lsland
Shackleton had to travel to South Georgia Island to get help to rescue the rest of his crew.
We had stayed on Elephant Island for only a day, but Shackleton was already worried. He realized that many of us were too ill to survive very long without rescue. He decided to go to South Georgia Island for help. He chose five members to join him on the trip and I was one of them.

2. Why was it important to include a navigator in the team
It was important to include a navigator so they would know where they were going and not get lost.
I have been working on ships for my whole life and my strong navigation skills could guide us across the dangerous sea.
Listen for the detail.
Answer the questions.
Why did Shackleton choose the most difficult and unfriendly man to join the rescue mission
Shackleton chose him because he wanted the crew left behind to remain cheerful and positive and the man would have had a negative influence on the crew.
However, to my surprise Shackleton also picked the most difficult and unfriendly member to join us on the trip. I later learnt that he did this because he wanted the group remaining on the island to stay cheerful and positive until we returned.
Listen for the detail.
Answer the questions.
4. Why did Shackleton look extremely old
Shackleton looked extremely old because he was very worried about the fate of his crew left behind.
However due to the rough seas, we could not get near to the island, Shackleton became worried about the men. He was very anxious and began to look extremely old. We tried for three months to rescue the 22 men.

Let's meet the following candidates.
Who should join the rescue team
Prepare for the discussion.
A: We have to decide on which two sailors Shackleton chose
for his rescue team. Let's look at Frank Wild.
B: He is a good leader and is experienced in exploring the
Antarctic. So, I think he's suitable to join the rescue team.
C: Hmm, I think we should move on to the next sailor. According
to Perce's diary entries, Frank Wild was left with the other
crew members on Elephant Island.
A: I agree. Let's move on to the next candidate. What do you
think about Frank Worsley

Role-play
Recruitment Meeting
Group work -- brainpower of Shackleton's team
1. Read the information of each candidate.
2. Discuss who should join the rescue team and give reasons.
Role-play: Recruitment Meeting
A: OK, we need to choose the two sailors that joined Shackleton's rescue
team. Let's look at our choices.
B: So how about Frank Wild and Tom Crean They were both experienced
in exploring and living in the Antarctic, and they also had many good
qualities, such as being kind and strong.
C: Yes, but look at Perce's diary. Frank Wild stayed on Elephant Island with
the others. So we can cross him off our list.
B: Oh, yes, well spotted. Then what about Tom Crean Anyone have any
ideas
A: Well, he was good at living in the Antarctic, so maybe he stayed on the
island to help, but I think his strength and bravery meant that Shackleton
would have chosen him for the dangerous mission.
Sample Conversation
Role-play: Recruitment Meeting
B: Agreed, so one choice is Tom Crean. OK. let's move on to another
candidate. How do you feel about Frank Worsley
A: I think he is a good choice because he was an excellent navigator.
C: I agree. The rescue team needed a good navigator. He could be our
second choice.
B: But what about Hubert Hudson He was also good at navigating.
A: Yes, but he was also the best at catching penguins, so I think he would
have stayed on the island with the others so they had enough to eat.
C: Sounds reasonable. But we should also look at Thomas Orde-Lees. He
was an excellent skier. so maybe he could be helpful on the mission.
B: Hmm ... maybe, but I think he didn't have as much to offer as Frank and
Tom. Besides, Perce complained about him in his diary, so I think he
probably stayed on the island.
A: I agree, so let's choose Frank and Tom.
