Hello!
How are you? Today, let's do a little more on the topic of places!
Activity
Look at the picture above. What comes to your mind when you see it? What do you imagine? This is what a student of mine a few years ago wrote about this picture:
The sea
water is the bright incomparable sky-blue. It’s a beautiful day for the beach.
Crowds are
heading to the ocean shore. Beach towels dot the sand with color. Plastic
buckets and balls roll round in the breeze. You can swim, you can wade or just
rest. There are lots of things to do. It seems
that people bring all the activities to the beach. But the sandy shore is a
busy place even without
tourists.
Look!
There is an abandoned pirate ship on the sandy shore. Do you want to know more
about the
abandoned ship? Let me tell you.
Long long
ago, a young man became a pirate after he ran away from home and joined the
crew on a privateering ship. One day, he dreamt there be treasure on the sandy
shore. So the next day he began to dig. He dug until the hole was deep and the
dirt pile was high. He kept digging and sighed “I’m tired, I can’t dig anymore.”
Then he spied something. But he only found a pirate ship. He was quite
disappointed. When he wanted to give up his friend told him “let’s get in the
ship, maybe the treasure is buried in it.” Finally, they got a small box and a
little treasure. They took the treasure away but left the abandoned pirate ship
on the sandy shore. Now, we can see it on picture.
I will give you a handout with this story, plus more background, about this place. The picture above goes with the story - but the real background about what is in this picture may surprise you.
Have fun! See you next week!
