Act 2 True- False Statements Predictions
* Set the scene: There are 6 statements about
the information of some to natural disaster
All of you have to read them and guess
whether they are true or false
- Hang the poster of T/F statements on the
board
- Get students to work in pairs to guess which
statements are true and which are false
- Students predict whether the six statements
are true or false
- Give feedback
Step 2: While-reading (17’)
Act 1 Checking predictions:
- Have students read the text on page 78 and
check their perfection
- Students read for the first time and check
their predictions
Get students to correct false statements
Answer key:
Act 2 Complete the sentences
- Have students work in pairs and complete
the sentences in exercise 5b on page 79
Answer keys:
1 The majority of earthquakes occur around
the Pacific Rim
2 During the earthquake in Kobe, many
people were killed when homes, office blocks
and highways collapsed
3 A tidal wave can only occur when there is
an abrupt shift in the underwater movement
of the Earth
4 In Australia, a tropical storm is known as a
cyclone
+ Shift (n) sự dịch chuyển, thay đổi + Hurricane (n) = cyclone = typhoon + Erupt (v): Eruption (n): Phun trào + Funnel (n): Cái phễu
1 Most of earthquakes in the world occur in the Ring of Fire
2 The earthquake in Kobe in 1995 caused severe damage
3 A huge tidal wave traveled from California
to Alaska and hit Anchorage in the 1960s
4 Typhoon, hurricane and tropical storm are different words for the same natural disasters
5 The eruption of Mount Pinatubo is the world’s largest ever volcano eruption
6 A Tornado looks like a funnel
