LISTEN!
• Well from this list there are one or two things that we can throw out straightaway.We
definitely don`t need them.You don`t need a compass,because you are not going to travel
very far.Digital camera no.Mirror no.Rope no.And mobile telephone,,,,it`s no good,you
won`t get a signal and you don`t need an umbrella you are not in the middle of LondonYou
are in a tropical rainforest..So also you don`t need sunscreen or sunglasses.It`s hot and i t`s
humid.But there is not direct sunlight.Because of all the trees and the vegetation…It will
be pretty dark.Pencil and paper not necessary unless you want to write a shopping
list.Things you need well number one.The most important thing to survive is water.You can
take bottled water that`s ok.But it won`t be enough.So number two is water purification
tablets…You have got streams and rivers.But have got to be careful…So as well as that,you
will have to eat.The best thing to take is energy bars.Not very exciting but they will keep
you alive for three days.There are coconut and fruit as well if you need them.Leave the
fishing rod at home,it`s too dangerous with all the crocodiles.The biggest problems come at
night.You have got insects and snakes and all kind of things,so you must have a tent to
sleep in,and the fire to keep the animals away…And for a fire you need matches-Idon`t
thing a magnifying glass is going to help you-and in case the fire goes out,a torch,with
plenty of batteries.Also take some insect repellent-those mosquitoes can be pretty nasty-
and you always want a good knife,there are hundred reasons why you will need it.So how
many is that?That is 9…Well,I`d say also you need somethings to make yourself feel
human.It`s hot,it`s wet and it can be pretty tough .So it`s a good idea to take some clean
clothes a toothbrush and some toilet paper.You are not absolutely necessary ,but you will
feel a whole lot better if you have them.

32. If you have a chance to choose a
partner for the trip …
• Whom will you choose and for which personal
abilities and characteristics???

33. Your lesson is over…
• The next lesson all the words that you have
learnt during the course and please practise
every dialogue you have written and shared
with us during the couse….
