Step 1 Lead-in
Look at the map of Africa and discuss the following questions:
In Unit 1, we talked about African pyramids, a world wonder that can't be explained by humans. Can you tell me where these pyramids are located? Also,. we got some information about the grasslands of Africa, a faraway but exciting place that welcomes you visit. Apart from the grasslands, what else do you know about Africa?
Do you think it is an island full of mystery, charm and attraction? Is it worthwhile going to Africa for your holiday?
Though we haven't got a chance to visit, we'll read a passage about a plan of traveling in Africa.
Step 2: Fast reading for general ideas
Let's skim the passage and try to find answers to these questions:
1) Who wrote the following letter? (Toby)
2) What animal is uncomfortable to sit on? (Camel)
3) How long will the author stay in Africa? (about four weeks)
Step 3: Detailed reading for important information
1. Let's reread the letter and complete Parts CI and C2 individually to check your reading comprehension and to test your analytical thinking skills.
Answers C1 1 C 2 D 3 B 4 C 5 C 6 C ; C2 325416
2. Now I'd like you to focus on the language and the writing features of the letter.
1) Report back on whether or not you've any difficulty reading the letter.
2) Identify the type of the letter: formal or informal? please give supporting information with the phrases, expressions or even sentences that indicate the types of letters.
3) Now let's go through the letter together and I'll do some explanations where necessary.
4) Look through the reading strategy of this unit to see how to read an informal letter.
3. Let's see the structure of the letter. Try to analyze the relationship between the title, its content and the cohesions between each paragraph.
1) Refer back to the title 'An adventure in Africa' and have a discussion on why the writer uses 'adventure' instead of 'excitement', 'journey' or some other words here. And think of the connection between the title and the content.
2) Identify the words which are used in the letter to describe adventure and try to think of other similar words.
3) Now let's see what words the writer uses in the letter, what route they are taking and what activities they've planed.
(1) Which words help illustrate the title 'An adventure in Africa'?
