enjoy traveling. As you have seen from the pictures, some places of interest are crowded with tourists. More people are now going out for sightseeing. Then why is traveling becoming more and more popular?

　　As a matter of fact, many of you have ever been to some places of interest, can you tell us the names of the tourist attractions? Well, all these places are located in China. Have you ever been abroad for a visit? Neither have I. Then it doesn't make any difference. We can travel abroad by reading. Here is a passage about An adventure in Africa. (Teach the students how to pronounce the word "adventure and explain the meaning.)

2. Scan the whole text to find the route of the adventure and answer questions:

How will Colin and Toby travel through the desert?

What activity does Toby think is dangerous?

How long will the brothers stay in Africa?

(Present the world map. Show the students the route from London to Morocco by plane.) So this is their first destination for their summer vacation trip. From the map, we know that Morocco is located in northwestern part of Africa. Skim the first second Para. and find the answers to these questions.

(1)What will they be doing there? (slide show)

(2)What will Toby bring a flashlight for? (slide show)

Anyway, traveling in desert is romantic, though it is tiring and a little bit dangerous. But Toby has to continue his adventure. Who will tell me their next destination? (Better find a video clip)

Questions:

(1)What will they be doing while traveling down the Nile?

(2) Is there any danger when they do this activity? How to protect themselves?

(3)What do you think of the game? Since rafting is dangerous and may kill you, will you experience the game? Why?

4. Different people have different points of view. You have the right to choose to die or live. In rafting, Toby and Colin may feel nervous. So they want to relax at the next destination. What is it? And what are they going to do there? Why do the guides have guns with them?
