Which of these women do you think is a great woman? Give reasons for your choice. Step II. Pre-readingLook at the photos and the title A PROTECTOR OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE and predict the contents of the text. (Key: From the photos and title I guess that the text tells about a woman scientist who is working in Africa to protect the wildlife there. She studies a family of chimps, delivers a speech on their behaviour, arguing for them to be left in the wild and protected. )Step III. Reading1. Read and find out the topic sentence of each paragraphSkim the text and identify the topic sentence of each paragraph. You may find it either at the beginning, the middle or the end of the paragraph. (Key: 1st paragraph: Our group are all going to visit the chimps in the forest. 2nd paragraph: Nobody before has fully understood chimp behaviour. 3rd paragraph: For forty years Jane Goodall has been helping the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals.)2.

Read and deal with difficult sentencesAs you have read the text times, you can surely tell which sentences are difficult to understand. Now put your questions concerning the difficult points to me the teacher. Step Discussion Do you agree with Janes ideas? Why or why not? (Key: I agree with Janes idea, because leaving the animals in the wild is the only good way to protect them. The animals belong to the forest, just as we belong to the civilized world. ) What do you think is the best way to protect wildlife?(Key: I think the best way is to understand and respect the life of animals.

(For reference: Our group are, Watching a family of chimps is, Nobody before has fully understood)2. Something about subject-verb agreementWe all know these meanings of agree, but when we talk about subject-verb agreement, were talking about something different: matching subjects and verbs according to number. That is, when you have a singular subject, you have to match it with a singular verb form: The boy plays. When you have a plural subject, you must have a plural verb form: The boys play.3. Summary In short, simple sentences, you should have no problem with agreement. You can hear the problem: The boys plays. When its wrong , it just sounds funny. Step 4 Exercises 1.
