Today, we are going to continue our exploration of wildlife protection. As we all know, our planet is home to a vast variety of wonderful creatures. But, unfortunately, many of them are in great danger. First, let's take a look at some pictures. (Show pictures of endangered animals like the giant panda, African elephant, and blue whale on the screen) Can you name these animals and briefly tell me what you know about them? S1: That's a giant panda. It's a national treasure of China. It mainly lives in bamboo forests and loves eating bamboo. But now, its habitat is being damaged, and the number of pandas is decreasing. S2: The African elephant is very big. It has long tusks. People hunt them for their ivory, which has led to a sharp decline in their population. S3: The blue whale is the largest animal on Earth. It lives in the ocean. Ocean pollution and over - hunting are threats to its survival. T: Excellent! You all have a good understanding of these animals. Now, let's think about why so many wild animals are in danger. What are the main reasons? S4: Illegal hunting is a big problem. People hunt animals for their fur, tusks, or other body parts to make a lot of money. S5: Habitat loss is also serious. Humans cut down forests, build cities, and destroy the natural habitats where animals live. S6: Pollution, such as air pollution, water pollution, and soil pollution, makes the living environment of animals worse and worse. T: Absolutely right! These reasons are causing a large number of wild animals to be on the verge of extinction. Now, let's start our listening part. II. Listening Part 1 T: Listen carefully to the following conversation. While listening, think about these questions: What are the speakers talking about? And what reasons do they mention for the extinction of wild animals? (Play the recording of the first part of the listening material) Recording: W: Have you seen that poster with the clock? It's so good, but a little scary, too. M: I know. So many wild animals are dying out. This poster says that between 150 and 200 species die out every day. W: That's terrible. We really need to do something. Why are so many species dying? M: Well, some animals are being hunted and killed. And then there’s pollution and habitat loss, I guess. Animals need a place to live in, just like us, and they need clean air and water, too. W: It seems like people need to be more aware. M: Absolutely. More people need to know. W: Yes, they should make more of these posters - maybe it will help protect the wildlife. T: OK, class. Let's answer the questions. What were the speakers talking about? S7: They were talking about the fact that many wild animals are dying out and the reasons for it. T: Very good. And what reasons did they mention for the extinction of wild animals? S8: Hunting, pollution, and habitat loss. T: Exactly. The speakers pointed out that a large number of wild animals are disappearing every day, mainly due to illegal hunting, pollution, and the loss of their habitats. Now, let's listen to this part again and fill in the blanks on the screen. (Show the blanks on the screen and play the recording again) W: Have you seen that ____ with the clock? It's so good, but a little ____, too. M: I know. So many wild animals are ____ ____. This poster says that between 150 and 200 species die out every day. W: That's terrible. We really need to do something. Why are so many species dying? M: Well, some animals are being ____ and ____. And then there’s ____ and ____ ____, I guess. Animals need a place to live in, just like us, and they need clean air and water, too. W: It seems like people need to be ____ ____. M: Absolutely. More people need to know. W: Yes, they should make more of these posters - maybe it will help ____ the wildlife. (Students fill in the blanks: poster, scary, dying out, hunted, killed, pollution, habitat loss, more aware, protect) T: Great job, everyone. These words are very important for understanding the topic of wildlife protection. Now, let's move on to the next part of the listening. III. Listening Part 2 T: Listen to another part of the recording. Pay attention to the information about a certain animal and what a famous person said. Then answer the questions on the screen. (Play the recording of the second part of the listening material) Recording: Someone has to speak up for endangered animals. Some famous people, such as Chinese superstar Yao Ming and Britain’s Prince William, work hard to help. In October 2015, Prince William gave a moving speech on CCTV: "In the 33 years since I was born, we’ve lost around 70 percent of Africa’s elephant population. Of those that are left, 20,000 are killed every year. That is 54 elephants killed every single day. That means there are elephants which are being killed right now!" In his speech, Prince William also praised China’s efforts to protect wildlife: "I am absolutely convinced that China can become a global leader in the protection of wildlife." T: Now, let's answer the questions. First, which animal was mainly mentioned in this part? S9: African elephants. T: Right. And how much of Africa's elephant population has been lost in the 33 years since Prince William was born? S10: Around 70 percent. T: Correct. And how many elephants are killed every day? S11: 54. T: Excellent. What did Prince William say about China? S12: He said that China can become a global leader in the protection of wildlife. T: Very good. This part of the listening shows us the serious situation of African elephants and also gives us positive news about China's efforts in wildlife protection. Now, let's listen to this part one more time and take some notes. Try to write down the key numbers and the main points of Prince William's speech. (Play the recording again, and students take notes) IV. Post - listening Discussion T: Now that we have listened to both parts, let's have a discussion. First, in groups of four, talk about how you feel after listening to these two parts. What are your thoughts on the current situation of wildlife protection? And what do you think we can do to help protect wild animals? (Students form groups and start discussing) (After a few minutes) T: OK, let's stop here. Which group would like to share your ideas first? Group 1: We feel very sad after listening. The situation of wildlife is really bad. We think we can start from ourselves, like not buying products made from wild animals. Also, we can tell our friends and family about the importance of wildlife protection and encourage them to join us. Group 2: We think schools and communities should organize more activities to raise people's awareness of wildlife protection, such as making posters, holding speeches, and cleaning up animal habitats. Group 3: The government should make more strict laws to stop illegal hunting and protect the habitats of wild animals. And we, as individuals, can participate in volunteer activities related to wildlife protection. T: All of your ideas are great. Wildlife protection is indeed a global issue that requires the joint efforts of everyone. We can start from small things in our daily lives and gradually make a big difference. V. Extension Activity - Role - play T: Now, let's do a role - play activity. I will give you some situations related to wildlife protection. You need to make up dialogues based on these situations. Here are the situations: (Show the following situations on the screen) You are in a zoo. You see a visitor trying to feed an animal against the rules. You go up to stop him/her and explain why it's wrong. You and your friend are discussing how to organize a wildlife protection campaign in your school. You are at a restaurant. Your friend wants to order a dish made from a wild animal. You try to persuade him/her not to do so. (Students choose a situation and start preparing their dialogues. After a while) T: OK, let's start the role - play. Which group wants to show your dialogue first? Group 4: (Choose situation 1) A: Hey, sir/madam, you can't feed the animal. B: Why not? It looks so cute and hungry. A: Feeding animals in the zoo is against the rules. Different animals have their own special diets. If we feed them randomly, it may harm their health. Also, it can disrupt the zoo's management and the normal life of the animals. B: Oh, I didn't know that. Thank you for telling me. T: Well done! Your dialogue is very natural and conveys the message of wildlife protection well. Which group is next? Group 5: (Choose situation 2) A: I think we should organize a wildlife protection campaign in our school. But I don't know where to start. B: Maybe we can start by making posters. We can put them up around the school to let more students know about the importance of wildlife protection. A: Good idea. And we can also hold a speech contest about wildlife protection. It can encourage students to learn more and express their opinions. B: Great! Let's start planning it right away. T: Excellent! Your dialogue shows that you have some creative ideas for the campaign. The last group, please. Group 6: (Choose situation 3) A: Look, this dish is made from a wild animal. I want to try it. B: No, you can't order that. Many wild animals are endangered because of over - hunting for food. If we keep eating them, they will disappear completely. A: But it's said to be very delicious. B: There are many other delicious and legal dishes. We should choose those instead. Protecting wild animals is protecting our own ecological environment. A: OK, you are right. I won't order it. T: Wonderful! Your persuasion in the dialogue is very effective. Through this role - play activity, I hope you can better understand how to communicate the idea of wildlife protection in different situations. VI. Summary T: Today, through listening and talking, we have a deeper understanding of the serious situation of wildlife protection. We learned about the reasons for the extinction of wild animals, such as hunting, pollution, and habitat loss. We also knew about the efforts of some famous people in protecting wildlife. And more importantly, we discussed many ways we can take to help protect wild animals. Remember, wildlife protection is everyone's responsibility. Let's take action from now on. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
