3. English student's book 3

The author describes a visit to a Chinese opera in Shanghai, highlighting its unique combination of song, dance, and striking design, which makes it very different from modern pop performances.

2. History and Performance Setup:

Chinese opera has a long history, with actors originally performing on streets using temporary stages, hanging lanterns, and minimal lighting.

3. The Show and Acting Style:

The opera “Lady White Snake” featured elaborate costumes, sharp singing, dancing, and acrobatics. Actors use their whole bodies to act out stories,relying on symbols and props to convey meaning.

4. Make-up, Symbolism, and Impression:

Actors’ colorful make-up represents character traits like bravery or cruelty. The author found the performance breathtaking and encourages everyone to experience a Chinese opera.

The main idea of this text is to tell about Chinese opera, what people show in it.

The writer visited Chinese opera in Shanghai. Chinese opera has a long history and began long ago with actors performing on temporary street stages using only lanterns for lighting.

2. Costumes & Singing

The actors wore bright, colourful costumes with red, gold, and silver. The singing style was high-pitched and ancient. It was designed so voices could carry over large outdoor crowds.

3. Acting & Symbols

The actors didn’t just sing — they also danced and performed acrobatics. There were very few props or scenery because they used symbols to tell the story (for example, a whip meant riding a horse).

4. Make-up & Impression

The make-up had special meanings for each colour (red for loyalty, black for strength, blue for cruelty, gold and silver for mystery). In the end, the performance was breathtaking and changed the writer’s opinion about opera.

The makeup was very detailed and meaningful. Each color represented a different personality trait. In the final scene, all the actors appeared together in bright costumes and makeup. The writer found the ending breathtaking. In the end, she realized she enjoyed Chinese opera much more than she expected.

There are no permanent residents in Antarctica, but scientists from different countries work there. They study climate, ice, and animals.

Some animals can live in Antarctica, such as penguins, seals, and whales. Penguins are the most famous animals there.

Antarctica is a unique and important place because it helps scientists understand climate change and our planet.

Made with help of ChatGPT.

It is governed by an international treaty and is dedicated mainly to scientific research and limited tourism. Antarctica is the fifth-largest continent (about 40% larger than Europe) with an average ice thickness of 1.9 km.

It holds the record for the lowest natural temperature on Earth (−89.2°C), and winds can reach speeds of up to 320 km/h.

Link: With help of chat gpt

There are no permanent residents, only scientists working in research stations. Antarctica is protected by international agreements and is mainly used for science.

It is the fifth-largest continent, and temperatures can drop to –89°C, with very strong winds.

Read the article –choose 3 activities you would like to try on and explain why, explain a bit more wildly

A team of two or four athletes pushes the sled at the start, then jumps in and rides together.

The sled can reach speeds of up to about 150 km/h (93 mph) on narrow, twisting tracks.It is an official Winter Olympic sport that has been competed in since 1924.

I would like to try this sport because it gives you a powerful adrenaline rush at very high speeds. And it’s a rare and unique activity.

It is most famous at Cerro Negro, one of the youngest and most active volcanoes in Central America.

Riders wear protective suits and goggles, then sit or stand on a wooden board to descend steep and rocky slopes.Speeds can reach up to about 80 km/h, making it a thrilling and unusual adventure. I would like to try this activity because it would be fun to hike up the volcano and slide down it enjoying the unique view.

Link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcano_boarding

These cars are extremely powerful and can reach speeds over 300 km/h .

Drivers need incredible skill, quick reflexes, and strong focus to handle sharp turns and high acceleration. I would like to try driving these cars because I like to watch formula one and I know that it would be an unforgettable experience for me.

Formula 1 driving is the experience of controlling a high-speed race car used in the top level of motorsport. These cars are extremely powerful and can reach speeds over 300 km/h. I would like to experience this adrenaline activity because I like Formula 1

Its high speeds and because it is the pinnacle of motorsport

I think this is self-explanatory—who wouldn’t want to fly in a fighter jet that can reach Mach 2 or even 3? I know I wouldn’t be able to pilot it myself, but it would still be an amazing experience. Feeling the intense G-forces and seeing the landscape from such a unique perspective would be unforgettable.

World’s Steepest Roller Coaster

I am a big fan of roller coasters, so I think this experience would be both fun and intense. I have been on many roller coasters before and always enjoyed them, but the world’s steepest one is, I believe, in Saudi Arabia—and I haven’t been there yet.

Formula 1 Driving

I think I would really enjoy driving a Formula 1 car because I like fast cars, and F1 cars are among the fastest in the world. It would also be exciting to race against my friends and experience real competition.

There are no cities and no permanent residents. Only scientists live there for some time to do research. They study animals, weather, and climate change.

Many animals live in Antarctica, such as penguins, seals, and whales. These animals can survive in very cold conditions.

Antarctica is protected by international agreements and is mainly used for science. It is the fifth-largest continent, and temperatures can drop to about –89°C.

In my opinion, Lake Baikal looks very special and peaceful. I think it is a perfect place for people who love nature and quiet places. I would like to visit it one day to see the clear water and the unique nature around the lake.

The area is home to many animals and plants, some of which cannot be found anywhere else. The nature around the lake remains wild and largely untouched. Visitors can go for walks, take boat trips, or simply relax and enjoy the scenery. In winter, people can even walk across the frozen surface of the lake. There are also places to stay nearby, such as small hotels, guesthouses, and tourist bases. One popular place is the village of Listvyanka, which is located close to the lake.

In my opinion, Lake Baikal looks very unique and peaceful. I think it is an ideal destination for people who love nature and quiet surroundings. I would love to visit it one day to experience its clear water and special natural beauty.

It is a very beautiful trail along the coast that connects small, colorful villages. The views are amazing, with blue sea, cliffs, and hills. Many people walk there every year to enjoy nature and take photos. You can also stop in the villages to buy food or rest. It is one of the most popular hiking trails in Europe.

There are different trails in the park, so people can choose how long they want to walk. Some routes are short and easy, while others are longer and more challenging. Along the trail, you can see many waterfalls flowing from one lake to another. The sound of water and birds makes the place calm and relaxing. The park is also home to many animals, such as deer, birds, and even bears, although they are rarely seen.

Plitvice Lakes National Park is protected as a national park and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This means it is very important and must be preserved. Thousands of tourists visit it every year because it looks like something from a dream or a fairy tale. The best time to visit is in spring or autumn when the colors of nature are the most beautiful.

Walking through this park is like going on an adventure in nature. You can explore forests, cross wooden bridges, and see amazing waterfalls up close. It is a perfect place for people who enjoy hiking and discovering new places. I would like to visit this park one day because it looks peaceful, unique, and unforgettable.

It is getting hotter in many places.

Animals are losing their homes because forests are cut down and ice is melting.

Some animals cannot find enough food or water.

Others have to move to new places to survive.

The oceans are also getting warmer, which is dangerous for sea animals.

Many animals are in danger of extinction.

If people do not help, the situation will get worse.

We should protect nature and take care of our planet.

First, glaciers and ice sheets are shrinking. This happens because warmer air and oceans melt the ice faster than it can reform. Every year, huge amounts of ice disappear.

Second, melting ice causes sea levels to rise. When ice from land melts into the ocean, it adds more water. This can lead to flooding in coastal cities and islands.

Another problem is that ice normally reflects sunlight. When it melts, darker ocean water absorbs more heat, making the planet warm even faster. This is called a “feedback loop.”

Melting ice also affects animals like polar bears and seals. They lose their natural habitat and struggle to survive.

In conclusion, melting ice is a serious result of global warming. It impacts sea levels, animals, and the speed of climate change itself. Reducing pollution and protecting the environment can help slow this process.

The park’s most famous hikes include Angels Landing, a steep ridge trail with chains and wide canyon views, and The Narrows, where visitors walk through a river between towering canyon walls. There are also scenic drives and viewpoints like Canyon Overlook.

Zion has a desert climate, so summers are very hot while spring and fall offer the best hiking conditions. Wildlife such as bighorn sheep, deer, and many bird species can often be seen throughout the park.

Because of this, ice in cold places is melting, and sea levels are rising. We also see more extreme weather, like strong storms, long dry periods, and big fires. Many animals and plants are losing their homes and finding it harder to live.

We can help by using clean energy, like solar and wind power. It is also important to recycle, use less plastic, and plant more trees. If we all work together, we can protect our planet and make the future better.

Warmer weather causes glaciers to melt faster.

Melting ice makes sea levels rise.

Climate change causes more heat waves.

Some places experience more droughts.

Climate change affects animal habitats.

Strong storms and heavy rain become more common.

Climate change affects how plants grow.

Temperature changes can affect the seasons.

People can help by reducing pollution.

First, burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. This makes the planet warmer.

Second, climate change affects nature. Many animals and plants struggle to survive as their environments change.

In conclusion, climate change is a serious problem, but reducing pollution and using clean energy can help protect the Earth.

Blake managed to make a fire and build a simple shelter to stay alive. He knew they needed to signal for rescue, but they had no supplies or food. Despite the danger of bears, he stayed strong and continued on.

Eventually, a pilot saw him and called a helicopter for help. Thanks to his strength and determination, both he and his father were saved.

Its effects include rising temperatures, melting ice, sea level rise, and more extreme weather. Climate change impacts nature, human health, and living conditions.

To reduce it, it’s important to cut pollution, use renewable energy, and protect the environment.

2) Summary

In June 2003, Blake Stanfield took his father, Neil, on a birthday rafting trip in the Alaskan wilderness. Their adventure turned into a disaster when their raft crashed into a massive wall of ice on the Koyukuk River. Both men fell into the freezing, fast-flowing water and were swept underneath the ice. After surfacing, they managed to reach the shore, where Blake lit a fire to treat his father’s hypothermia. The following morning, Blake realized they had lost all their supplies, including food and clothing. He decided to hike 104 km toward the nearest town to find help. During his journey, he sang loudly to scare away bears and ate insects to maintain his strength. Meanwhile, Neil remained behind, struggling to stay alive and keeping his fire burning. By Monday, both men were significantly weakened by a total lack of food. Blake decided to build a signal fire in hopes that a pilot flying overhead would see him. On Tuesday evening, a pilot spotted Blake and a rescue helicopter arrived to pick him up. The rescuers quickly located Neil shortly after finding Blake. Both men survived the five-day ordeal and joked about taking a future trip together that didn't involve ice.

While camouflage is its main offense, its defense relies on thirteen sharp dorsal spines running along its back. Each spine is connected to potent venom glands and acts like a pressure-activated hypodermic needle. When an unsuspecting swimmer steps on the fish, the downward force mechanically injects neurotoxins deep into the foot. This sting causes excruciating pain, rapid swelling, and potential paralysis, requiring immediate treatment with hot water and antivenom. Ultimately, the stonefish is a lethal marvel of nature that perfectly combines invisibility with deadly defense.

It lives in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, especially in countries like Brazil, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica.

Bullet ants are large compared to most ants and can grow up to about 2.5 centimeters long.

Their bodies are usually reddish-black or dark brown in color.

The ant gets its name because its sting feels similar to being shot by a bullet.

The pain from a sting can last for 12 to 24 hours, which is why it is sometimes called the “24-hour ant.”

According to the Schmidt Sting Pain Index, the bullet ant has the highest pain rating of 4+.

Its venom contains a toxin called poneratoxin, which affects nerves and causes intense pain and shaking.

Despite their scary reputation, bullet ants are not naturally aggressive unless their nest is disturbed.

They usually build nests at the base of trees in humid forests.

Bullet ants are hunters and scavengers that feed on insects, nectar, and sometimes small animals like frogs.

An interesting fact is that some Indigenous tribes in the Amazon use bullet ants in painful initiation ceremonies for young warriors.

Another interesting fact is that scientists are studying bullet ant venom for possible medical uses, including pain treatments.

Bullet ants communicate with each other using chemical trails called pheromones.

Even though they are feared for their sting, bullet ants play an important role in maintaining the balance of the rainforest ecosystem.
