　　Part A: Reading Aloud

　　And this is it. The first ever 3D model of the inside of an active volcano. A unique snapshot in the life of this

　　the world’s oldest lava lake. For the world’s science community it offers much more. It captures an apocalyptic, geological process that has never been observed in action before. The gradual fragmenting of the Earth’s crust, which will lead ultimately to the birth of a new ocean. It’s a drama that will play out over millions of years, forming the backdrop to the lives of the people here in the Rift Valley as it has since the dawn of mankind.

　　Part B：Role Play

　　M: What’re you going to do after you return from Sydney?

　　W: I’m going to stay in the city.

　　M: What will you do all day?

　　W: I’m going to work with my father at the store.

　　M: Have you ever worked?

　　W: No, but I can learn. By the way, do you have any plans for this summer?

　　M: I’m going to camp. I’ve gone to camp for four summers.

　　W: I’ve never gone to camp. What do you usually do at camp?

　　M: We do many things. In the morning, we go swimming and boating. In the afternoon we play basketball or tennis. We sit around a campfire at night. We sing and tell stories.

　　W: That sounds wonderful.

　　M: It’s really wonderful, indeed.

　　Part C：Story Retelling

　　The owner of a missing cat is asking for help. “My baby has been missing for over a month now, and I want him back” said Mrs. Brown, a 56-year-old woman. Mrs. Brown lives by herself in a truck park. She said that Clyde, her 7-year-old cat, didn’t come home for dinner more than a month ago. The next morning he didn’t appear for breakfast either. After Clyde missed an extra-special lunch, she called the police.

　　When the policeman asked her to tell something about Clyde, she told him that Clyde had beautiful green eyes, had all his teeth but was missing half of his left ear, and he was seven years old and white. She then told the officer that Clyde was about a foot high.

　　A bell went off. “Is Clyde your child or your pet?” the officer asked in doubt. “Well, he’s my cat, of course,” Mrs. Brown replied. “Lady, you should know well that you’re expected to report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS, shouldn’t you?” said the policeman. “Well, who can I report this to?” she asked. “You can’t. You have to ask around your neighborhood or put up flyers,” replied the officer.

　　Mrs. Brown thought that a billboard would work a lot better than a piece of paper on a telephone pole. She put up a picture of Clyde on the billboard at the end of her street.
