What are on the screen? Ss: Tigers. T: What do you think of them?Ss: They are beautiful and lovely.T: Who volunteers to tell us something about this kind of animal in our country?S1: There are mainly three kinds of tigers native to China. They are the Siberian tiger, the South China tiger and the Bengalese tiger.S2: And do they belong to the cat family.T: You are quite right. But which kind of the tigers is the largest?S3: The Siberian tiger is the largest living cat in the world.T: Why did you say so?S3: Because Siberian tigers can be 9 to 12 feet long (from head to the tip of their tail) and are about 3 and 1/2 feet tall. Female tigers are somewhat smaller than the male tigers, and they can weigh between 400 to 650 pounds.S4: It is said that they need to eat about 20 pounds of meat a day to stay alive in the cold climates. It can consume up to 200 pounds of meat a day. S5: In the harsh Siberian winter the tigers coat will lose some of its color. The winter coat doesnt have the red stripes of tigers from warmer climates. The white coat also helps to camouflage it in the snow. It also grows a longer and thicker coat than other tigers to help it survive the cold weather. S6: Siberian tigers mostly live in eastern Russia and some are found in north eastern China and North Korea. Even though there have been many wars, the Siberia tigers are still alive.S7: The Siberian tiger is endangered and almost extinct now. At the beginning of the century, there were about one hundred thousand wild tigers. But at present there are only (estimated) three hundred and sixty to four hundred and six in the wild; four hundred ninety are held in zoo conservation programs. S8: They are in danger because people hunt them. People in China use different parts of their body for medicine to cure diseases. They use weird parts of their body like their brains, eyes and tails. They are also being killed because they sell their bones, whiskers and other parts for money.S9: Another threat is the habitat loss. They are losing their habitat because people keep cutting down trees and there isnt enough land for them. People also kill tigers to protect themselves and their livestock.T: Very good! You know much more than I. But who can explain “animals in danger” to the class?S10: I think animals extinction is natural according to Darwins theory. But if the speed of the animals extinction is too fast, we can say they are in danger. T: Youve got it. Do you know the reasons why many animals are in danger?S11: Most of the reasons are related to human activities.T: You are quite right. Man is really playing an important part. Can you list some of them?Ss: 1. They are killed for body parts or food.2. People want them for pets.3. People have moved into their habitat.4. They are killed by pollution.5. They are also killed by climate change.T: Very good! Now work in groups to discuss what the most important reason is according to the list on the screen.A few minutes later.T: Whats your opinion?Ss: We think No. 1 is the most important reason.T: Maybe you are right. But who can give us some examples?S12: African elephants have been hunted for their tusks for a long time. The so-called “ivory” was used as a source of all kinds of ornaments.S13: Here I have another example. The snow leopard is one of the most beautiful of the big cats and for many years the main threat to the species is hunting for its fur.T: OK. Read the passage on page 51 and discuss the question: What can we do to help the animals in their struggle for survival?After reading and discussing.T: Who volunteers to tell us your opinions?S14: We can save them by writing a letter to the government, starting a petition to make laws or take some other measures to save the animals.S15: We can join some Animal Conservation Organizations to help to protect them.S16: I can do little now but in the future I can save them by adopting an animal from a zoo or making a donation to an Animal Conservation Organization.T: Good! Everybody can make a difference if we have a try. Now read the passage again to find the words to match the meanings in the form on the screen. After a few minutes, check the answers together.Sample answers:MeaningsWordsa type of animal or plantspeciesthe place where animal lives naturallyhabitatprotection, especially natural thingsconservationin dangerendangereda fight which lasts a long timestrugglean area of land where animals are protectedreservedead (for a species, not a single animal)extinctcontinue to livesurvivalliving in a natural state, away from peoplewildwild animalwildlifeStep II PracticeGet the students to learn the useful expressions by practice.T: Turn to page 57 and do Activity 1 in FUNCTION. Which one did you choose?Ss: No 3.T: Yes, You are quite right. Which are more or less formal than the example?Ss: No 1 and No 3.T: Now do Activity 2. Whod like to read yours?S1: Im concerned about the milu deer.S2: Im concerned about the South China tigers.S3: Im worried about the fishes in the East Sea.S4: We really should do more to the bird species.S5: I think we really should do more to Asian bears.S6: Im worried about the wild horses in Inner Mongolia.T: Well done! Now youve learnt some useful structures to express concern. Lets do more practice.Step III SpeakingGet the students to talk about animals in danger with the useful expressions on page 57.T: Work in groups. Follow the steps in Activity 1 of SPEAKING and talk about an animal in danger. A sample discussion:S1: We are concerned about the future of the snow leopard. The snow leopard is one of the most beautiful big cats and for many years the main threat to the species was hunting for its fur. The fur trade has decreased internationally in recent years, but other threats have manifested themselves and the species is still threatened.S2: Im worried about the threats to them. One threat is that herders are increasingly moving their flocks into snow leopard territory and exhausting the local grazing. This affects the snow leopard in two ways. First, domestic livestock compete with wild sheep and goats for scarce grazing. This pushes the wild prey away to other areas. Snow leopards are territorial and if their natural prey is replaced by domestic livestock they will kill them instead. This leads to the second consequence: herders will kill snow leopards in retaliation for killing their animals.S3: Its really upsetting. Another threat is large-scale poisoning of small mammal populations. This has not only affected snow leopards, but also the other predators which feed on them.S4: Recent reports indicate that the snow leopard has been killed for its bones. These are used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as substitutes for tiger bones. The plight of the tiger is well-known and its bones are banned from international trade. The trade in snow leopard and clouded leopard bones has flourished while the spotlight of publicity has focused on the higher-profile tigers. S5: I think we should do more to protect snow leopards. First WWF should have projects in the countries where snow leopards can be found in order to help fund anti-poaching patrols (as WWF has so successfully pioneered for Siberian tigers) in Mongolia, education program and a field study manual in Nepal, and surveys and a public awareness program in Pakistan.S6: I think the local government should be involved in implementing the Snow Leopard Survival Strategy. This will guide snow leopard conservation for years to come and relies upon integrating the needs of local people with those of snow leopards. Activities within the strategy include anti-poaching patrols, compensation schemes (in which the whole village pays into a fund and any money accrued after a period of time is paid back to each villager as a “dividend”) and repair of corrals. These are stone shelters in which livestock are kept at night. By making them “predator-proof”, snow leopards will not be able to get in and kill the livestock.S7: My opinion is that the snow leopard, in common with all the big cats, should be listed on Appendix 1 of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), which is the highest international protection currently available. S8: It can also be protected by laws. I hope more laws should be made in the countries involved according to their different threats such as punishing the poachers seriously, banning on poisoning small mammals .We believe that only by involving local communities in conservation strategies can we hope to secure a long-term future for this most beautiful of big cats.Step IV Everyday EnglishGet the students to do the activity of EVERYDAY ENGLISH and remember the phrases. T: Please choose the correct meanings in EVERYDAY ENGLISH. Then make sentences with the phrases. Who volunteers to report your sentences?S: I will have a try.1.

S1: It lives in the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau.S2: It is an endangered animal.S3: A couple of weeks ago I read a passage. “Tibetan antelope to be put forward as Olympic mascot” from Internet. I think as a nimble animal on the cold Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Tibetan antelope can symbolize the Games athletic spirit of competition and perseverance. Moreover “Tibetan antelope as mascot of 2008 Beijing Olympic Games” symbolizes that multitude nationalities, including 56 nationalities, live happily in a big family. I back up Tibetan antelope as mascot of 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.S4: Ive also read a piece of news recently. Themed “Tibetan Antelope in Hoh Xil ,Outlook for 2008”, a scientific inspection tour has concluded recently and all its members have return Golmud in safe condition. This scientific inspection was organized by the Qinghai Provincial Government. Before the work in Hoh Xil Nature Reserve, the scientific inspection team set off on June 22 and arrived at Tibetan Antelope Protection Station through Golmud for a short adaptation to the local weather. Many media organizations accompanied the inspection tour. I think this scientific inspection plays an important role in the protection of Tibetan antelope as well as in the application of Tibetan antelope bidding for the 2008 Olympics mascot.
