This next activity again an adaptation is completely

This next activity (again an adaptation) is completely different and aimed at learners at higher levels. Students are encouraged to research other situations as a project. As you can see the level of English is good and we have provided a dictionary translation of the words that may be unknown. There a lot of possible backup activities that we could introduce to grab the imagination of our learners. . What do you think they could be? Materials Task………. . Think of at least five different activities (apart from the ones included here) and outline how you would integrate them into this powerpoint presentation.

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE TEXT An Amazing Rescue – thanks to a mobile phone Two young adults had a miraculous escape when their boat capsized in the sea near the south coast of England. They called for help with a mobile to someone in Japan. Ken and Emily Booth, who are brother and sister, were on a sailing holiday near Southampton when a freak storm caused enormous waves to capsize their dinghy. They were thrown into the sea and spent thirty minutes in the freezing water trying to right the capsized dinghy. They were unsuccessful as they couldn´t get back into the dinghy, and neither could they attract the attention of passing ships. The situation was getting more serious as time went on. After nearly 40 minutes, when they were both in danger of hypothermia, Emily remembered she had brought her mobile phone in a watertight container and used it to make the call that saved their lives. online Text adapted from Inspiration Student´s Book 3, with our thanks CLICK HERE TO GO TO EXERCISES

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE TEXT Emily didn´t think about calling the emergency services on 999. Instead, in a state of panic, she phoned her father, who was in Tokyo on a business trip some 6000 miles away. Emily explained ‘I thought it would be quicker to phone someone I knew and tell them our position. I dialled Dad´s number and he contacted the coastguard. ’ After nearly an hour in the freezing water and only ten minutes since the call, both a helicopter and a lifeboat were roaring towards them. Ken and Emily were winched up into the rescue helicopter and hurried to safety. Afterwards, the coastguard said that the teenagers were lucky to be alive and very, very lucky that the mobile had worked. ‘Anyone in trouble should contact the coastguard direct on 999, ’ he added. Ken and Emily were both treated for shock and survived their ordeal, thanks to the work of the RNLI, the Coastguard and a mobile phone. . . online Text adapted from Inspiration Student´s Book 3, with our thanks CLICK HERE TO GO TO EXERCISES
