Vocabulary
- Vocabulary is the language and words used or understood by people.
- It's usually alphabetized and explained.
- Example: essential – necessary.

- Indiscriminate – everywhere.
- Endangered – risk of extinction.
- Survive – to stay alive.
- Habitat – living place.
- Extinct – disappeared or died out.
- Overlook – condone.
- Endemic – found only in a specific area.
Activity 1
- Complete a text with appropriate word forms (threat, pollution, trees, destroying, etc.)
Endangered Animals
- Many animals living on Earth are endangered.
- This means they are at risk of extinction.
- Examples include tigers, orangutans, turtles, and others.
Drawing Inferences
- Inferences are conclusions based on clues in the text.
- Texts may hint at past events instead of directly stating them.
- Logical guesses can be made based on details provided.
Activity 2
- Answer inferential questions based on pages 44-45.
- These questions relate to animals in the Simein Mountains and mountain Nyala.
- Comparisons are drawn to similar animals and their habitats.
- The questions ask about locations, characteristics, and protections of local animal populations.
Day 4
- The activity involves answering questions about words or expressions from a text.
Post-Reading (Oral Presentation)
- Presentations in general have three parts: introduction, details/body, and conclusion.
- Use expressions like, "First I will like to explain..." "Second, I will look at..." "Lastly, I will discuss the impacts...",
Vocabulary Development
- Conservation protects animal species from human encroachment on their resources.
- Buffer zones protect core areas, preventing negative impacts (e.g., non-native species, climate change).
- Endemic species are found only in a specific area.
- Example: Walia Ibex is endemic to Ethiopia.
Activity 5
- Find antonyms (opposite meanings) for vocabulary words like "everywhere," "overlooked", "similarity," and "important".
Day 7 (Ecosystems):
- Ecosystems are study of organisms, their interactions with each other and their environment.
- These interactions can be complex and diverse.
- Examples of biodiverse ecosystems are coral reefs and tropical rainforests.
Interviewing
