Today, we are going to explore something really exciting in our Video Time. We are going to look at a special kind of sport that takes place in some of the most amazing natural landscapes in China. But before we start, let's talk a bit about what we are going to see. Have any of you ever heard of karsts? Student 1: I think karsts are those strange rock formations, right? Teacher: Exactly! Karsts are rock formations made of limestone. They have been shaped by wind and water over millions of years of erosion, creating these beautiful natural sculptures. One of the most famous places in the world for karsts is Guilin in southwestern China. And guess what? These karsts offer a lot of thrilling opportunities for a particular sport - rock climbing. Now, I want you to think about this. Would you like to have a go at karst climbing? Turn to your partner and discuss for a minute. (Students discuss in pairs) Teacher: Okay, let's hear some of your thoughts. Who wants to share? Student 2: I wouldn't like to try karst climbing. It looks way too dangerous, and I'm really scared of heights. Teacher: Fair enough. The fear of heights can be a big factor. What about you? Student 3: I think I would give it a try. It seems like an adventure, and I like the idea of challenging myself. Teacher: That's a great attitude. Now, another question for you all. What do you think rock climbing can bring to climbers? Student 4: I think it can bring a great sense of achievement when they reach the top. Teacher: Absolutely! Reaching a goal in rock climbing gives a huge feeling of accomplishment. Student 5: It can also make them closer to nature, I guess. They get to be in these amazing natural places. Teacher: Very true. Rock climbing allows people to experience nature in a very up - close and personal way. Student 6: And it must make them stronger, both physically and mentally. Teacher: Right again! It's a great form of exercise that works on both physical strength and mental toughness. Now, let's look at some new words that we might come across in the video. (Teacher writes words on the board: amazing, natural, adventurous, spectacular, unexplored, gymnastic) Teacher: Let's go through these words one by one. "Amazing" means extremely surprising. For example, "The view from the top of the mountain was amazing." "Natural" refers to something as found in nature, like our karsts. They are natural sculptures. "Adventurous" describes someone who is willing to try new or difficult things, or an activity that is exciting and often dangerous. If you decide to go karst climbing, you are being adventurous. "Spectacular" means very exciting to look at. Think of a really beautiful sunset - that's spectacular. "Unexplored" is used for a place where people have not been to find out what's there. And "gymnastic" relates to gymnastics, physical exercises that help increase strength and the ability to move and bend easily. This might be relevant when we see how climbers move on the karsts. Teacher: Now, let's watch the video. While you are watching, I want you to pay attention to how the climber feels about climbing karsts and also notice the words we just learned in action. (Video plays) Teacher: Okay, video time is over. Let's check how well you were listening. First, let's complete some sentences based on what we heard. For me, it's important not just to go and see these ______ landscapes but to interact with them. What word should we use here? Student 7: Amazing. The climber said the landscapes were amazing. Teacher: Correct! The stone here offers up , athletic movement, but it can also be very , sometimes dangerous, but always beautiful. Which words fit in these blanks? Student 8: Gymnastic for the first blank and adventurous for the second. Teacher: Great job! This is what we love to do - to come to these beautiful ________ areas and climb and explore and push ourselves mentally and physically. What word is missing? Student 9: Natural. They were talking about coming to natural areas. Teacher: Perfect. Now, let's have a deeper discussion. Describe your feelings after watching the video. How are they the same as or different from the feelings the climber describes when he talks about climbing the karsts? Let's start with you. Student 10: I felt really excited watching the video, but also a bit scared. The climber seemed more focused and calm, like he was really in his element. Teacher: Interesting observation. And you? Student 11: I was amazed by the beauty of the karsts, just like the climber. But I don't think I could ever be brave enough to do what he was doing. Teacher: That's understandable. Now, let's talk about extreme sports like rock climbing. What is your opinion of them? Is it something worthwhile to do? Why or why not? Student 12: I think extreme sports are great. They push people to their limits and help them discover what they are capable of. Teacher: That's a positive view. What about the other side? Student 13: I think they are too dangerous. There are so many risks involved, and it's not worth getting hurt. Teacher: Both are valid points. Rock climbing, like many extreme sports, has its own set of risks and rewards. It offers a unique experience, a chance to connect with nature, and a way to challenge oneself, but it also requires a lot of skill and safety precautions. Teacher: Let's review some of the key points from the video and our discussion. We learned about karsts, those beautiful natural limestone formations in southwestern China that are a haven for rock climbers. We saw how the climbers feel a strong connection to these landscapes, not just observing but interacting with them. The words we learned - amazing, natural, adventurous, spectacular, unexplored, and gymnastic - really came to life in the video. We also debated the pros and cons of extreme sports like rock climbing. Teacher: For your homework, I want you to write a short paragraph about your thoughts on extreme sports. You can use the ideas we discussed in class, and also include any new thoughts you might have. Think about whether you would ever consider trying an extreme sport like rock climbing, and if not, why not. Make sure to use some of the new words we learned today. Teacher: That's all for today's Video Time. I hope you all had an interesting and thought - provoking experience learning about karst climbing. See you in the next class! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
