Step 1 Warming up
T asks Ss a few questions to aro their interest in the class.
1. What are the advantages of exploring the ocean?
The ocean’s many unique life forms, habitats and geological formations not only help us better understand life, but also open up various opportunities for new discoveries and innovative solutions to existing problems. For instance, current discoveries of life forms in
the ocean have scientists excited about the possibilities of life on planets that have extreme environments. Further exploration could lead to new medicines, food and renewable energy sources. Besides, monitoring changes in the oceans could help scientists learn ways to address changes in the environment, such as climate change. Exploring the ocean is also a good way to find out more about how the area beneath the Earth’s crust functions. This could lead to developing better early-warning systems for natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis.
2. If you were to write an article about Mount Qomolangma how do you describe your article?
In the bottom-to-top order /from different zones/in spatial(空间）order.
