Task 3
Work in groups. You are going on an expedition across a desert with some of your friends, you choose the five most important things you should bring a long with you. Explain your choice.
1. Food/ water: difficult to find in a desert => bring as much as possible.
2. A knife: help eat easily/ protect from the attack of animals.
3. A camel: can stand the weather there.
4. A box of match: make fire to keep warm at night/cook food.
5. A walkman: use to relax .


If I’m going on an expedition across a desert with some friends, I should bring... because ...
Task 3
Example
I think we’ll bring a lot of food and water. They can help us to survive in the desert if we get lost.
In my opinion, I think we should bring a large blanket to protect ourselves from the cold and windy weather at night.
A box of matches is very necessary for us to make a fire at night.
Homework:
1. Base on the task 3-write a short paragraph (about 80 words). Using suggestions:
“If I’m going on an expedition across a desert with some of my friends, I should bring… because…”
Thank You!
