Task 1: Work in pairs. Look at the pictures and discuss the following questions. (4 mins)

- Have Ss look at the pictures and tell their partner what is happening to the tigers, e.g: A tiger is being kept in a cage/in captivity in the first picture. The second picture shows a tiger that

is targeted/hunted/will probably be killed.

- Ask Ss further questions e.g., Are these problems serious? Why do they happen? What can we do about them?

- Call on some Ss to answer the questions. Encourage them to expand on their answers and lead in the listening.

- Students look at the pictures and answer the questions.

- Students share the answers with the class.

Suggested answer:

The two pictures show that tigers are still facing serious threats. In the first picture, the tiger is being kept in captivity, while the tiger in the other picture is being hunted and will probably be killed. We can protect tigers by refusing to buy tiger parts and items made from them. When visiting tiger reserves, we should be responsible tourists and should not pollute or damage their natural habitats.

- Ask Ss to read the sentences and the answer choices, and check understanding.

- Encourage Ss to guess the meanings from the context in which the words and phrases are used. Have Ss also try to replace each underlined word or phrase with each answer choice or part of it to see which one fits in the sentence logically.
