Unit 4
Adversity and Courage
Look & discuss
1. What happened to the
ship in the photo?
2. How would you feel
and what would you
do if you were on this
ship?
a difficult or unpleasant situation
困境;逆境
Possible answer:
This ship in the photo looks like it has got stuck in some ice.
Possible answer:
If I were on that ship, I would feel worried because it is probably far from any land or town and one could run out of supplies quickly. Although it might be best to stay on the ship and wait for help to come, I think I would leave and try to find help, because no one would find you in such a place. Any rescue ship would face the same problem!
