W ANG WEI: Oh, I think that’s exciting, don’t you?W ANG KUN: Remember that the air will be hard to breathe and it’ll be very cold.W ANG WEI: That’s going to meke it an interesting experience.W ANG KUN: I wish you weren’t so stubborn.

We saw so many beautiful things: a glacier that flowed like a river of ice through a valley that cut the mountains into two parts. We also discovered a river that was falling off the mountain and became a wonderful waterfall. This was even more exciting to see than the rapids where the water seemed to boil. Later we followed the river to a quieter plain and finally into a delta and the sea.Discovering useful structuresLook at the questions in the Warming up again.

I hope you’ll have a pleasant journey. Thank you for your time.You have got some plans for the future. Use the present continuoustense to express your future actions. Give as much information as you can.EXAMPLE: (this evening) I’m going out this evening. /I’m not doing anything this evening. / I don’t know what I’m doing this evening.1 (tomorrow morning)2 (the day after tomorrow)3 (next Saturday evening)4 (next month)Using LanguageReading and discussing1 What items are Wang Kun and Wang Wei carrying with them?

At one point we were so high that we found ourselves cycling throgh clouds. Then we began going down the hills. It was great fun especially as it gradually became much warmer. In the valleys colourful butterflies flew around us and we saw many yaks and sheep eating green grass. At this point we had to change our caps, coats, gloves and trousers for T-shirts and shorts.To climb the mountains was hard↘work∣but as we looked↗around us, we were surprised by the view. || We seemed to be able to see for ↘miles. || At one ↗point we were so ↘high ∣that we found ourselves cycling throgh ↘clouds. || Then we began going down the ↘hills. || It was great ↘fun especially as it gradually became much↘warmer. || In the valleys ∣colourful butterflies flew ↗around us ∣and we saw many yaks and sheep eating green ↘grass. || At this ↗point ∣we had to change our ↗caps, ↗coats, gloves and trousers for T-shirts and ↘shorts.Listening and speakinglistening is about.dialogue.LISTENING TEXTJOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONGPart 3 CHATTING WITH A GIRLThe next day the travellers see a girl (G) walking along the road.
