Task 1: Are the following activities good for conserving wildlife? Rank each activity in order of its importance to conserving wildlife.(10 mins)

money is used to protect and rebuild habitats, release species back into the wild, and carry out

research.

- The third most important activity is volunteering to help local wildlife. As volunteers, peoplecan directly contribute to conservation efforts and gain invaluable experience.

- We ranked the other four items in the following order: 5 - 4 - 1 - 7. They are all examples of learning about wildlife and raising awareness of endangered species conservation.

Suggested answer:

A: Today, we’re discussing suitable activities for the World Wildlife Day. The aim is to raise students’ awareness of wildlife protection. Does anyone have any interesting ideas?

B: I think we should start the event with a speaking competition about wildlife conservation. Students can debate the importance of wildlife and how we can protect it.

C: I like your idea, but how will a speaking competition help preserve wildlife?

B: Well, this will be a good way to attract lots of participants. I know that many students in our school are good at debating. This competition will be an excellent awareness raising activity. Don’t you agree with me?

A: Yes, I totally agree with you. I also suggest that we organise a wildlife photography exhibition. Using visuals is the best way to present information and convey our message.

C: OK, but we need to find suitable images. Perhaps we can ask the school Photography Club for advice. How about raising funds for endangered species? We should support an animal native to our area, such as the sea turtle.

B. Great idea! ...

Task 3: Work in groups. Summarise your ideas and present the activities for the World Wildlife Day to the class. Vote for the best ideas.

- Students work in groups, practice before taking the stage.

Suggested answer:

We discussed suitable activities for the World Wildlife Day to raise students’ awareness of wildlife protection. We decided on three main activities. The first one is a speaking competition about wildlife conservation, where students can debate the importance of wildlife and how to protect it. This activity will attract many participants and serve as an excellent awareness-raising activity. The second activity we suggest is to organise a wildlife photography exhibition as visuals

are an effective way to convey the message. We also discussed asking the school Photography Club to help us find suitable images. The third activity we propose is raising funds for an endangered species, for example, a native animal like the sea turtle.
