Listening and Speaking
Pair 1: Discussing Blue Whale Basics
A: Hey, did you know blue whales are the largest animals ever on Earth They can be over 30 meters long—longer than three school buses!
B: Wow, that’s crazy! Do they eat something huge too
A: Surprise, no! They feed on tiny krill, but gulp down tons at once with their baleen plates.
B: Cool. Why are they so important for the ocean
A: Their waste adds nutrients that help plankton grow, which supports the whole food chain. We need to protect them from ship strikes and pollution.
Pair 2: Imagining a Blue Whale Encounter
A: Imagine seeing a blue whale while sailing—wouldn’t that be amazing
B: Totally! I’d freeze—their tails alone are like giant paddles slapping the water.
A: I read they make low-frequency songs to communicate, even across hundreds of kilometers.
B: That’s magical. But aren’t they endangered
A: Yeah, hunting used to nearly wipe them out. Now conservation laws help, but they still face threats.
B: We should spread the word—such incredible creatures deserve to thrive.Need me to tweak the dialogue length or add more specific facts about blue whales I can adjust it easily.

2 What do you know about the Tibetan antelope and the Changtang National Nature Reserve
Reading and Thinking
A DAY IN THE CLOUDS
The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short hike from
camp. To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into
clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain
in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals.
This is why we’re here—to observe Tibetan antelopes.
Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Xizang, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. Watching them
move slowly across the green grass, I’m struck by their beauty. I’m also reminded of the
danger they were in. They were hunted, illegally, for their valuable fur.
My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National
Nature Reserve. The reserve is a shelter for the animals and plants of northwestern
Xizang. To Zhaxi, the land is sacred and protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We’re
not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we’re trying to save ourselves.”
The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The population
dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make profits.
Their habitats were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.

Reading and Thinking
In order to save this species from extinction, the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.
The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered species list. The government, however, does not intend to stop the protection programmes, since the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared.
In the evening, I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me. Much is being done to protect wildlife, but if we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.

Reading and Thinking
Identify literal and implied meaning
Literal meaning is the usual,
basic meaning of the words,
i.e. exactly what the words say.
Implied meaning is suggested but not directly expressed, i.e. you guess the meaning based on what you know.
2 Read the text and answer the questions.
1 Why did the writer visit Xizang
2 What happened to the Tibetan antelope in the 1980s and 1990s
3 What did people do to help protect the Tibetan antelope
4 What does “national protection” mean Can you list more examples
5 How does the writer feel about modern life How do you know
1. Why did the writer visit Tibet
To observe the Tibetan antelopes and learn about the effectiveness of their protection, aiming to record the species’ recovery and spread awareness of wildlife conservation.
2. What happened to the Tibetan antelope in the 18th and 19th centuries
Their habitats were encroached on by human activities, and they were heavily poached for their valuable wool (used to make luxury shawls), leading to a sharp decline in population and an endangered status.
3. What did people do to help protect the Tibetan antelope
Established nature reserves (e.g., Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve) to safeguard habitats.
Strengthened anti-poaching efforts with patrol teams cracking down on illegal hunting.
Promoted international cooperation to ban the trade of Tibetan antelope products.
Launched public education campaigns to raise conservation awareness.
Reading and Thinking
The Tibetan antelope lives high above sea level.
( This is implied by “The air is thin”.)
When they first saw the antelopes, they were very far away.
We should not buy goods made from endangered animals.
Human activities are threatening animals and plants.
The Tibetan antelope is not an endangered species now.
3 Read the sentences below, and decide if each idea is the literal meaning (L) of the text or only implied (I) by the text.
EXAMPLE

4. What does national protection mean Can you list more examples
Definition: Government-led measures to protect endangered species, habitats, and natural resources via laws, policies, and resource investment, ensuring ecological balance.Examples: Giant panda protection (breeding centers + habitat restoration), Siberian tiger conservation (patrols + prey protection), and wetland preservation (e.g., Poyang Lake Wetland Reserve).
5. How does the writer feel about modern life How do you know
The writer is critical of modern life’s negative impact on nature (e.g., overconsumption driving poaching) but optimistic about positive changes from conservation efforts. This is inferred from descriptions of past antelope endangerment (blaming human greed) and praise for protection achievements (e.g., rising antelope numbers showing hope).

Discussion on Living in Harmony with NatureI fully agree—human activities like overconsumption, habitat destruction, and pollution disrupt ecological balance, making lifestyle transformation vital for planetary survival.
Key Actions to Change1. Reduce resource waste: Opt for reusable items (e.g., cloth bags, glass bottles) instead of disposables, and practice energy-saving habits (turn off unused appliances, use renewable energy like solar power).2. Adopt eco-friendly diets: Cut down on meat consumption (livestock farming emits large amounts of greenhouse gases) and choose locally sourced, seasonal foods to reduce carbon footprint from transportation.

3. Protect natural habitats: Avoid purchasing products from endangered species (e.g., ivory, Tibetan antelope wool), participate in tree-planting or wetland restoration activities, and support protected area initiatives.4. Strengthen environmental awareness: Spread conservation knowledge via social media, advocate for green policies, and encourage families/communities to join eco-friendly practices (e.g., community recycling drives).These small shifts collectively alleviate ecological pressure, fostering a symbiotic relationship between humans and nature.

Common Neighborhood Wildlife, Their Needs & Care Solutions
1. Birds
Needs: Food, water, shelter, safe nesting sites (avoiding predators/pesticides).
Solutions: Hang feeders with species-specific seeds (e.g., sunflower for cardinals), place shallow water dishes (refresh daily), plant native trees/shrubs for nesting, and avoid chemical pesticides.
2. Squirrels
Needs: Food (nuts/seeds), shelter (tree hollows), and safe foraging spaces (away from traffic).
Solutions: Leave unsalted nuts/seeds in feeders, preserve mature trees for shelter, and use squirrel-proof bird feeders to avoid competition.
Listening and Talking
3. Hedgehogs (or Raccoons/Opossums)
Needs: Food (insects/fruits), water, and shelter (underbrush/wood piles).
Solutions: Provide shallow bowls of cat food (no milk) and water, leave small brush piles for hiding, and avoid using slug pellets (toxic to them).
4. Bees/Butterflies
Needs: Nectar/pollen, host plants for larvae, and pesticide-free habitats.
Solutions: Plant native flowering plants (e.g., lavender, milkweed), avoid chemical sprays, and leave some untrimmed grass for nesting.
5. Frogs/Toads
Needs: Moist environments, water for breeding, and insect prey.
Solutions: Create a small backyard pond (with shallow edges), add rocks/vegetation for shelter, and avoid draining wet areas.
Most designers set their type arbitrarily, either by pulling values out of the sky or by adhering to a baseline grid. The former case isn’t worth discussing here, but the latter requires a closer look.

Reading for Writing
Give Ugly a Chance!
When it comes to wildlife protection, all
species—the good, the bad, and the ugly—
should be treated equally. Pandas, dolphins,
and other cute wildlife are important, but we
must pay attention to less cute animals, too.
The world needs all kinds—without variety,
our planet cannot survive. So if you want the
future to be beautiful, you have to give ugly
a chance.
Don’t Make Paper with My Home!
Billions of trees are being cut
down every year to make
paper for humans. Every tree
that is cut down is a part of the
habitat of animals such as these
koalas. In this way a lot of animal
homes are being destroyed!
Is it right to make animals
homeless so that humans can
have more paper

2 Who do you think is the intended audience for each poster Why do you think so
3 What does each poster want people to do How do you know
4 In your opinion, which poster is more effective Why
How does each poster stir up emotions
Poster 1 (Wildlife Protection): Uses close-up images of injured animals and the rhetorical question "Their home is gone—can we stand by " to trigger sympathy and guilt; warm tones paired with endangered species data enhance urgency.
Poster 2 (Environmental Action): Contrasts clean and messy community scenes, with the warm text "Your small act changes the neighborhood" to arouse a sense of responsibility and belonging, using daily scenes to connect with the audience.
2. Who is the intended audience for each poster Why
Poster 1: Teenagers and environmental beginners. Its simple language and cartoon-style animal illustrations fit teenagers’ cognitive habits, and the call for "campus public welfare club participation" clearly targets student groups.
Poster 2: Community residents. Focused on community scenarios like "household garbage sorting and corridor cleaning," it mentions "building a civilized community," which aligns with residents’ daily lives and directly addresses the community-dwelling group.
Look at the posters again. Discuss the questions in groups.

3 What does each poster want people to do How do you know
4 In your opinion, which poster is more effective Why
3. What does each poster want people to do How do you know
Poster 1: Participate in wildlife protection volunteer activities and donate supplies. Evidenced by the action guide "Sign up for volunteer teams at www." and explicit text "Donate to protect their habitats.“
Poster 2: Practice garbage sorting and join community cleaning. Supported by direct instructions such as "Sort garbage daily" "Join weekly community cleaning" and images of trash cans, brooms, and other action symbols.
4. Which poster is more effective Why
Poster 2 is more effective. Firstly, its action instructions are specific and actionable (e.g., daily garbage sorting), making it easy for the audience to implement. Secondly, the community-centered scenes are life-related, boosting audience pared to Poster 1’s macro protection theme, it better stimulates immediate action willingness, with emotional resonance more likely to translate into practical behavior.

Think about what the WWF does to protect wildlife.
The World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF) the many
species of plants and animals that around the
world. The WWF wants more people to the
problem, so they will stop hurting wildlife and
solutions. Very few people in modern society actually intend
to harm animals. Most people do not realise that many animal species cannot the changes brought about by
modern civilisation. It is for this reason that the WWF constantly information to stir up public interest in the welfare

2 Read and complete the passage with the present continuous passive voice of
the verbs in brackets.
It may seem that protecting wildlife is something far from the life of a high school
student, but in fact, a lot (do) by young people around the world. In
Washington State, USA, wolverines ( 貂熊 ) (study) by scientists in an effort
to learn how to preserve the population. However, during the winter, it is difficult to
attract the animals to cameras hidden in snowy forests. A group of students heard
about the problem and created a special device which (test) deep in a
snowy forest now. Their invention (use) to send out a certain smell near the
cameras. The shy animals are attracted by the smell and coming around the cameras.
They (observe) by a conservation researcher.
