Critical thinking
A lot of money and time
were spent protecting the temples. Do you think it was worthwhile? Why? Please give at least three reasons.
They are an important part of world cultural heritage.
They attract tourists every year, which leads to a rise in Egypt’s GDP.
Their successful rescue showed the power of global teamwork.
It’s a waste of time and money which could be spent helping the needy.
The old must give way to the new with economic development.
When they were taken down piece by piece, they were also damaged.
We can use digital technology (like taking 3D photos, making online exhibitions) to record temples. This costs less but also helps pass down culture.
Do you think it was worthwhile?

OR
Now that we have a Drone(无人机) club, our school is considering building a Flight Control Training Area in the place where there is a lake with a lovely bridge. But many students think the lake provides a place where they can relax after class. In your opinion, what can we do to find a solution? Think about it and write down your solutions.
After-class exercise
Make a timeline
Making a timeline that shows when different events happened can help you understand how the events are connected to each other.
Read the passage Cultural Relic Rescue in the Three Gorges Project and draw a timeline for the project.
In our daily life, when you face challenges, you can work with each other to find solutions.
Together, we could make a difference.
