.- Unit 6 Traveling and Sightseeing Thinking Ahead Students are asked to discuss the following questions in groups. The reference answers for the questions are offered below: 1. Do you like traveling? Where have you been before? Yes, I do. I have been to quite a lot of places, Mountain Tai, the Great Wall, Korea and Singapore, among which, Singapore impresses me the most for its combination of both a prosperous society and city of natural beauty. Believe me: you can never forget this country once you take a deep breath of fresh air there. 2. How to make a reservation in the hotel? Firstly, you should make it clear when you want to check in, how long you are supposed to stay there. Then, you should tell what kind of room and how many rooms you want. The last but not the least is that, you must leave your name and maybe your contact number, which will surely help you a lot afterwards. 3. What should you pay attention to when at table abroad? mind your manners at table; pay attention to your words and gestures; handle your knives and forks correctly; never talk with your mouth full; never make sounds when you’re eating or drinking something. Part I Video Time In this part, students will have 2 tasks to accomplish. Task 1 In task 1, students will watch a video clip from The Beach and then do the exercises as required. Before watching, they are supposed to read the words, expressions and cultural notes related to the video. Transcript First Visit to Bangkok My name is Richard. So what else do you need to know? Stuff about my family or where I’m from? None of that matters. Not once you cross the ocean and cut yourself loose. Looking for something more beautiful, something more exciting, and yes, I admit, something more dangerous. So after 18 hours in the back of an airplane, three dumb movies, two plastic meals, six beers and absolutely no sleep, I finally touched down in Bangkok. “Hey, you! How about you? You want to go to the waterfall? Come on! Floating market! 1,500! Cheap for you! Come on. Hey!” “Hey, you need somewhere to stay?” “No. I’ll be fine. I’ll find my own place. Thanks.” “What do you want, man?”… And this is it—Bangkok, good time city, gateway to Southeast Asia. Where dollars and Deutschmarks get turned into counterfeit watches and genuine scars. “Good time. Boy? Girl? No problem.”… This is where the hungry come to feed. “You want to drink snake blood?” “Wait a minute. Did you say snake blood?” “Oh, yeah.” “No, thanks.” “What is wrong with snake blood?” “I just don’t like the idea.” “Or maybe you’re scared? Afraid of something new?” “No. I just don’t like the idea, that’s all.” “Ha ha! Like every tourist. You want it all be safe, just like America.” So never refuse an invitation. Never resist the unfamiliar. Never fail to be polite. “Gentlemen, that was excellent.” Never outstay your welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, it’s probably worth it. (From http://asli.blog.dianyuan.com/u/40/114596200.pdf) Key to Exercises Exercise 1 Watching for Global Understanding Students are asked to watch the video clip and answer the following questions. 1) What did Richard do in the plane?

Never fail to be polite. Never outstay your welcome. Exercise 2 Watching for Specific Information Students are asked to watch the clip and fill in the blanks with the missing information. 1) None of that matters. 2) Good time city. 3) This is where the hungry come to feed. 4) Gentlemen, that was excellent. 5) And if it hurts, it’s probably worth it. Task 2 In task 2, students will watch a video clip about the sight spot—Sierra Madre and then do the exercises as required. Before watching, they are supposed to read the words, expressions and cultural notes related to the video. Transcript Sierra Madre Tourism The sheer beauty of northern Mexico’s Sierra Madre Mountains is only one reason why many visitors come a long way to enjoy some quiet time in this part of the country known as the Copper Canyon. “Its natural beauty and panorama that it offers is unbelievable. If you just look at the beauty that you see here. It’s, it’s awe-inspiring.” The views of the beautiful canyons are spectacular. A train ride through dozens of tunnels adds to the allure of the mountains. And the opportunity to interact with the region’s Tarahumara Indians is another reason this isn’t an average mountain destination. “You have the Tarahumara Indians, inhabit in these mountains. And the Tarahumara Indians is one of the most unique native Americans that you still can see in its original state or the, in the original habits that they have kept for thousands of years.” But is this entire natural environment at risk as a result of an increase in tourism itself? Not according to an areal businessman, who believes in playing by the rules of nature for the benefit of the region. “It’s a, it’s a very complex thing, but we believe that is (the) only way to go. And for future generations, we have to start now by preserving what we have and letting older generations also enjoy what we’re doing right now. So, it’s a job and it’s a work that we’re gonna do forever.” Tourism officials say there is no reason to worry. They say there aren’t enough visitors in the Copper Canyon region to prompt cause for concern. But they are preparing for the future by researching and developing conservation plans. “Of course, we want to develop the area but we’re taking care of nature. It’s very important for us to protect nature. The Copper Canyon is very very important for tourism in the state of Chihuahua.” “We want to be more cautious. We created an organization called Sierra Madre Explorer that is dedicated, you know, to keep the, the, perhaps, to keep the destination as untouchable as we can. And so that’s a big effort we’re doing because we see a big responsibility to keep it very very clean and very eco-safe.” Regardless of the reason, mountain lovers are pleased that at least for now the precious landscape won’t be touched by the hand of economic progress. (From http://bbs.putclub.com/index.php?showtopic=130873) Key to Exercises Exercise 1 Making a Sound Judgment Students are asked to watch the video and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F). T 1) The beauty of northern Mexico’s Sierra Madre Mountains is one reason why visitors come to enjoy this part of the country. F 2) Tourism officials want to develop the area without taking care of nature. T 3) They have already created an organization to protect the holiday destination. F 4) Nowadays the landscape is touched by the hand of economic progress. Exercise 2 Essay Writing In the video we can obviously feel that people are worrying about whether tourism will do harm to the natural environment. In other words, they are concerning about the ecological crisis. Students are asked to write a composition entitled The Ecological Crisis on the Booming Tourism to express their opinions on this topic. They should write at least 200 words. Sample The Ecological Crisis on the Booming Tourism Traveling is among many people’s favorite recreations, which enables us not only to broaden our horizons, but also to shape our mind and spirits. However, just like a coin has two sides, tourism may bring about a serious problem—ecological crisis. The environment has been suffering with the boom of tourism. In order to attract tourists, many places have been turned into resorts. Forests are gone, prairies are destroyed, rivers and lakes are polluted, and wild animals are dying out. These horrible scenes should give rise to our great attentions. We must protect our eco-environment while enjoying the beautiful scenery. In order to keep a balance between tourism and ecology, the concept of eco-tourism, which intends to bring people closer to nature with as little disturbance as possible, should be advocated. Funding environmental programs and limiting excessive exploitation of natural resources should be done by all levels of governments. What we need to do is simple: do not litter; strictly observe regulations at resorts, and use as few plastic bags and boxes as possible, only by which, can we hope to build a harmonious environment for traveling. At last, we should keep in mind that when we travel we should take away nothing but memories and leave nothing but footprints. Part II Listening Activities In this part, students will have 3 listening tasks to accomplish. Task 1 In task 1, students will listen to a dialogue about taking a reservation over the phone and then do the exercises as required.
