B You are going to participate in an English Day. As preparation, you
are reading an article in the school newspaper written by Yuzu, who took
part in it last year.
┌────────────────────────────────────┐
| [Virtual Field Trip to a South Sea Island] |
| |
|This year, for our English Day, we participated in a virtual science |
|tour. The winter weather had been terrible, so we were excited to see |
|the tropical scenery of the volcanic island projected on the screen. |
| |
|First, we "took a road trip" to learn about the geography of the island,|
|using navigation software to view the route. We got into the car," which|
|our teacher, Mr Leach, sometimes stopped so we could look out of the |
|window and get a better sense of the rainforest. Afterwards, we asked |
|Mr Leach about what we'd seen. |
| |
|Later, we "dived into the ocean" and learnt about the diversity of |
|marine creatures. We observed a coral reef via a live camera. Mr Leach |
|asked us if we could count the number of creatures, but there were too |
|many! Then he showed us an image of the ocean 10 years ago. The reef |
|we'd seen on camera was dynamic, but in the photo it was even more full |
|of life. It looked so different after only 10 years! Mr Leach told us |
|human activity was affecting the ocean and it could be totally ruined if|
|we didn't act now. |
| |
|In the evening, we studied astronomy under a "perfect starry sky." We |
|put up tents in the gymnasium and created a temporary planetarium on the|
|ceiling using a projector. We were fascinated by the sky full of |
|constellations, shooting stars, and the Milky Way. Someone pointed out |
|one of the brightest lights and asked Mr Leach if it was Venus, a planet|
|close to Earth. He nodded and explained that humans have created so much|
|artificial light that hardly anything is visible in our city's night |
|sky. |
| |
|On my way home after school, the weather had improved and the sky was |
|now cloudless. I looked up at the moonless sky and realised what Mr |
|Leach had told us was true. |

the events in the virtual tour. Put the comments in the order in which the
events happened.
[ 18 ]→[ 19 ]→[ 20 ]→[ 21 ]
{1} I was wondering how dangerous the island was. I saw beautiful birds and
a huge snake in the jungle.
{2} It was really shocking that there had been many more creatures before.
We should protect our beautiful oceans!
{3} Setting up a camping site in the gymnasium was kind of weird, but great
fun! Better than outside, because we weren't bitten by bugs!
{4} We were lost for words during the space show and realised we often
don't notice things even though they're there.

island.
