Look at the pictures and answer the questions.
1.What does each picture show
The first picture shows that an earthquake has happened. The road is cut off.
The second picture tells us that a disease has broken out and is probably spreading.
In the third picture, we can see a ship sinking.
Look at the pictures and answer the questions.
1.What does each picture show
The fourth picture shows us a dense jungle.
In the fifth picture, we can see an astronaut in space.
The sixth picture shows us a severe drought.
Look at the pictures and answer the questions.
2.What difficulties would people have surviving in these situations
Below are the difficulties people would have surviving in each situation.
eg. (1) People would find it difficult to leave the area to find safety, or to receive supplies such as food, water, medicines and fuel. Power and communications may have been cut off by the earthquake. There is a risk of further quakes via an aftershock.
Sample
(2)People may face difficulties such as quarantine, shortage of hospital services and panic-buying of essential medicines, food or other supplies. There may be misinformation and panic.
(3) People who are unable to escape the ship on a lifeboat face the immediate dangers of drowning or of dying from exposure. Those who do escape on a lifeboat need to ration their food and water, and hope for rescue as soon as possible.
(4) People would find it difficult to travel and navigate. It would also be difficult to find food and water. Wild animals and venomous insects are also potential problems.
Sample
(5) Space is an extreme environment for human beings. They face danger from extreme temperatures, low pressures and radiation.
They must carry everything they need with them, even air. The lack of gravity makes simple actions such as eating, drinking, moving and even sleeping difficult. Anyone who spends too long in a zero-gravity environment risks losing bone and muscle mass.
(6) Without water, people and livestock face death within a short period of time. In addition to water shortages, drought causes crop failure, so people would face food shortages as well. This could affect people who do not live in the drought-affected area. Severe food shortages can cause famine, migration, collapse of social order and war.

Watch the video and answer the questions.
1.Where do the people in the video live
2.What difficulties do they face How do they overcome those difficulties
3.What part of the life there would be most challenging for you Why
The people in the video live in Antarctica.
People living in Antarctic face a lot of difficulties.
eg. (1) They have to endure extreme weather including freezing temperatures, fierce winds and strong blizzards. When they go outside the stations, they wear special clothes for protection. As weather can change from calm to white-out in minutes, people have to take a special survival bag in case they are trapped outside overnight.
Sample
(2) One of the most difficult things is the long days and nights. They may cause issues with the scientists' body clocks. The darkness also makes outdoor research impossible.
(3) It is almost impossible to grow fresh produce there because of the extreme conditions, and most food is imported. It is difficult for scientists to have a varied diet, and they can't get enough fresh fruit and vegetables.
(4) They have to face psychological problems.
To keep the scientists psychologically healthy, research stations offer activities and entertainment including live music and lectures.

3.What problems could they encounter in cities
In the wild.
Yes. Because they are normally in the wild, and they are sometimes dangerous for humans. It’s also difficult for them to find shelters and food in the cities.
They may have difficulty finding food, shelter and mates. If people find them, they may be trapped or killed.

conclusion
post-reading
Humans build cities not only to make themselves live, also to let the wild animals survive.
When building cities, humans should not occupy the living space of wild animals.
It is a sign of modern civilization to let wild animals find habitats in cities just like human beings, which can contribute to a good biodiversity and a complete ecology.
Now think about what people can do to achieve a balance between the need for urban development and the protection of wild animals.

3.Some environmentalists argue that we should restrict urban development to leave enough natural habitats for wild animals. Do you agree with this Give your reasons.
Yes, I agree with this opinion. With the acceleration of human urbanization, more and more animals' habitats have been destroyed or invaded. This has deprived the animals of their homes and food. They have nowhere to go and face threats to their survival. Therefore, human beings should slow down the speed of urbanization.
