Unit 5
You will hear a man called Tony James giving a talk about an extreme
camping trip.
OK, thanks for coming along to find out about our extreme camping
trip. Before | start, can | remind you about the training day? Because
it may rain tomorrow, we've decided to do this on Saturday instead
of Thursday. If you want to come on the trip, you must attend.
There are different ways to experience extreme camping, but for us
it means bringing no food or water with you. But don’t worry, you
won't be hungry. We're camping at Sandy River and it’s easy to find
lots of delicious fruit and vegetables nearby, which you can eat raw.
The guide will also show you where to look for eggs. You can find
these in trees, of course, but some birds leave them in holes in the
ground or in the grass, like snakes do.
Something that's surprisingly good to eat is insects. These are really
good for you and actually very tasty. And I'm not talking about flies
and wasps — the ones I'm talking about are much bigger. | promise
you'll love them!
Because you really have to be an expert to be successful, one thing
you won't have to do on this trip is hunting. You don't want to waste
time and end up with nothing to eat.
Now of course we're not bringing any cooking equipment like a
camping cooker or a frying pan, so you're going to learn how to cook
your food on a hot rock. It’s a bit slower than using a normal cooker,
but works well.
What about drinks? You'll have to live without juices and hot
chocolate, I'm afraid. You'll get all the water you need from rivers and
streams, but you must remember to boil it for at least three minutes
to make sure it’s safe to drink.
OK, before | continue, any questions?

Our day at the zoo began quite well. | was there with some

First, we saw some baby elephants. Then we watched some
very funny penguins. By midday, we were getting hungry,
so we decided to go for lunch. As we were walking towards
the café, we suddenly heard people shouting. A tiger had
escaped! We immediately ran to the café and shut the door
behind us. It was quite scary, but fortunately the tiger was
caught quickly and no one was hurt.
Finally, the café offered a free meal to everyone, so the day
