Activity 2
I think it is worthwhile to reproduce the Amber Room. Because it represents the culture and a period of history in St. Petersburg. It is a trace and feature surviving from a past age and serving to remind people of a lost time.
S1：The Great Wall in China is in danger. Some parts of the wall have been destroyed by the wind，air and rain. Thus it is dangerous for people to climb parts of the Great Wall. And there is also some rubbish on the Great Wall, which destroyed the beauty of the Great Wall. S2: The pyramids in Egypt are also destroyed by the wind, air and rain. Some of them need to be repaired.
Now, boys and girls, I met a “moral dilemma”. That means I must make a choice between the interests of the family and the interests of the society. Things are like this: My old granny happened to find an ancient vase under the tree in the earth of our garden. It’s so beautiful and special. Now, my family fell into a moral dilemma. Can you help us to make a decision: A: What should we do B: Can we keep it for ourselves or report it to the government C: Have you come across such a situation — to make a difficult choice
