1.What are the problems faced by Venice
2.Are there any similar cities or towns in China Introduce one to the class.
Venice is faced with the problems caused by water. Saltwater is slowly damaging the bases of Venice’s buildings，making the city gradually sink. Floods also hit the city each winter，causing more problems.
威尼斯几乎到处都是水，主要交通工具是船。靠100多条水道和400多座桥梁接连威尼斯的70多个小岛。

Look at the pictures and answer the questions.
1.How does the natural environment influence the lives of the local people in each picture
2.What is the natural environment of your home town like How is your life influenced by it
inclined roofs
heavy snow
thick clothes
In Russia, it can get very cold with heavy sown in winter, so people live in houses with inclined roofs and wear thick clothes for outdoor activities.
In the UK, the mild climate(温和的气候) and parks in towns and cities provide a pleasant natural environment in which people can relax and enjoy life.
Britain is an island country and the surrounding sea gives England a varied climate.
They never know what the weather will be like from one day to the other. It can be sunny one day and rainy the next.
As they have such a variable climate changing from day to day, it is difficult to predict the weather. In general they have warm summer and cool winters.
China
In parts of north and north-west China, it is common for people to live in cave dwellings([ dwel ]). In Shaanxi Province, where the loess([ l s]n.黄土) is relatively compacted(adj.结实的) and suitable for carving, it has been a tradition for centuries. There are two main kinds of cave dwellings: cliffside dwellings(悬崖边的窑洞), which are carved out of the side of a cliff and often face south, and pit dwellings(地坑式窑洞), in places where there is no hill. A cave dwelling often consists of a main courtyard off which rooms and sunken courtyards are dug. Warm in winter and cool in summer, these dwellings are a perfect example of people living in harmony with nature.
In Myanmar, the climate is hot and humid(adj.潮湿的) and there are many rivers. Many people live in bamboo houses on stilts(n.桩子), which keep them above the water.
The structures are designed to suit the weather and avoid floods, snakes and other beasts(n.野兽). The roofs are usually laid with grass or tile(n.瓦片).

Connect with our life
内蒙古属于典型的大陆性中温带季风气候,具有降水量少而不匀、寒暑变化剧烈的显著特点。冬长夏短、雨量不多。草原上气候寒冷，牛羊成群，牲畜膘肥体壮。牧民“逐水草而居”，居无定所，这种生活方式要求他们尽量减少不便携带的物品，而对于食物，他们则采用干制的方式，使其方便携带。辽阔的草原地广人稀，在长期的环境适应中，人们养成了说话声音洪亮，唱歌的音域及音调特别高的习惯。任何文化的产生都离不开特定的地理环境，蒙古族的一切都与草原环境有着生生相惜的亲密关系。

Lead-in: Brainstorm
Zhuang people is the most populous([ p pj l s] adj.人口众多的) ethnic minority in China. They are mainly distributed (v.分散;分布) in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Yunnan, Guangdong and Guizhou provinces.
Zhuang is one of the earliest peoples to cultivate( [ k lt ve t] v.培育;耕作) and plant rice. Rice culture is very developed, and rice has naturally become the staple(adj.主要的) food of Zhuang people. Therefore their main agricultural method is growing rice.
Introduction of Zhuang
Yao people is the most widely distributed ethnic minority in South China, mainly in
in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Hunan, Guizhou and other places.
Yao people is mainly distributed in Lingnan which is warm in four seasons, suitable for rice and vegetable growth. So they take corn and rice as their staple foods.

1. Imagine mountains wrapped in silver water, shining in the spring sun. Summer sees the
mountains turn bright green with growing rice. During autumn, these same mountains are gold, and in winter they are covered in sheets of white frost. These are the colours of the

2. These terraces were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people, to whom Guangxi is home.
Starting in the Yuan Dynasty, work on the terraces took hundreds of years, until its
completion in the early Qing Dynasty. Reaching as far as the eye can see, these terraces cover tall mountains, often from the bottom to the very top.

Para 2.The history the Longji Rice Terraces
Who built the terraces
When did people begin and complete the terraces
It is a vast project.
The time lasts long.
What other evidence show it is a vast project
Think deeply: Why did it take so long time
no modern tools
no modern technology
large mountain areas
3 So why did these people go to so much trouble to turn the entire mountains into terraces
Firstly, there are few large, flat areas of land in the region. Building the terraces therefore meant that they could increase the areas in which they could grow rice. Secondly, although the region has plenty of rain, the mountains are steep and the soil is shallow. The flat
terraces catch the rainwater and prevent the soil from being washed away.

Para 3. The reason for building the terraces
为什么当地人要如此大费周章，把整片山区变成梯田呢？首先，这里缺乏大面积的平原，建造梯田意味着他们可以扩大水稻的种植面积。其次，尽管该地区雨水充沛，但山地坡度大，土层浅薄。水平的梯田能够储存雨水，防止土壤被冲走。

How do the terraces work
4. But perhaps what is most significant is the way in which people have worked
in harmony with nature to make these terraces and grow rice. The terraces are cleverly
designed, with hundreds of waterways that connect with each other. During the rainy season, it is along these waterways that rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces. The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour. This forms clouds from which rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again.
These terraces also provide a perfect environment for birds and fish, some of which feed on
insects that can harm the rice crops.

Para 4. The most significant thing about the Longji Rice Terraces.
但也许最令人惊叹的还是人们与自然和谐相处建造梯田和种植水稻的方式。梯田设计巧妙，其间有数百条相互连接的水渠。在雨季，雨水会沿着这些水渠从山上流入梯田。水分经太阳蒸发成水蒸气，水蒸气形成云，而雨水又从云中再次落到山上的梯田里。这些梯田还为鸟类和鱼类提供了绝佳的栖息地，而一部分鸟和鱼又以危害水稻作物的昆虫为食。

mean a lot to the local people for whom traditions hold much value. This knowledge is
passed down through families, which means that new generations continue to use ancient
methods of agriculture to maintain the terraces. Today, the Longji Rice Terraces attract thousands of visitors who come to admire this great wonder created by people and nature working together.
