Retell the story with the structure and mind map
After Shackleton and other five members sailed away from Elephant Island, the crew members left on the island tried all they could to stay alive while waiting for rescue. They got drinking water from melted ice and burned animal fat for fire, solving food problems by varying the meals of sea animals. And they had to be careful not to go outside to often so as to avoid getting ill. With so many difficulties and challenges, however, their discipline and team spirit kept them optimistic and eased their fears in a positive and successful way. Their optimism and faith in Shackleton had helped them persevere in staying alive for so long. And in return for their trust, Shackleton paid them back by his commitment to save them at last.

Write a summary
This story is about the 1914-1916 expedition by Ernest Shackleton to make the first land crossing of Antarctica. For this task he used the ship, Endurance, with a 28-man crew, including one stowaway.
Shackleton is described as calm and brave and takes his crew’s safety very seriously. The rest of the crew are also brave, though a few are not very positive, and all were at times understandably worried and desperate about their situation.Overall though, they remained positive. This was helped by the good relationship Shackleton had with his crew who trusted him and knew he would do his best to save them.
The crew faced great troubles once Endurance got stuck in the ice. Soon they had to abandon the ship and camp on the ice. They had to face the extreme weather and cold as well as a dangerous environment and all with limited supplies. All of this added to the mental challenge, so they had to maintain a positive state of mind.
Shackleton’s motive was always to make sure his crew survived, and theirs was to last until he had found help.
What I like most about this story is that although their expedition failed in achieving its goal, it was not the disaster it could have been. This was due to Shackleton’s perseverance in getting help and the crew’s bravery in surviving for so long. My impression of them is very positive as they must have struggled greatly in such a position of adversity. I felt very happy when I learnt that the whole crew survived.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LISTENING!
