 TR: 47 10 Look, match, and listen. Match the
words and phrases from Column A with those in
Column B. Then listen to check your answers.
S1: OK, please listen, everyone. Gabriela and Marco
are going to show us their poster about caves.
Gabi, Marco, are you ready?
S2: Yes, we’re ready, Mrs. Gonzalez.
S1: OK, you can begin now. Pay attention, everyone.
S3: Please take a look at our poster, everyone. This is
a picture of a cave.
S2: First, look at the back of the cave. As you can see,
there is a very ancient painting here on the cave
wall. It was painted by our ancestors.
S3: Our ancestors often painted animals on cave
walls. There is a famous cave in France that has
600 paintings of animals!
S2: Above the painting, there is a big group of bats.
Bats usually hang from the ceiling because there
are fewer poisonous gases up there.
S3: Bats find their way without eyes, and they can
live for one hundred years!
S2: Now look at the ceiling again. You can see some
stalactites hanging from the ceiling. Stalactites
take thousands of years to grow. There are also
many stalagmites on the right. Stalagmites grow
up from the ground.

S1: Excuse me. My family and I are going to stay at
your campsite next week, and I’d like to ask you
about trash. What do we do about it?
S2: Oh, there are many trash cans on the site. Trash
can be placed there during the day but not at
night. Please use them correctly - biodegradable,
non-biodegradable and so on. We’ll give you a
map, so you can locate the trash bins.
S1: Thank you. That’s very kind. Also, are there any
animals at the site?
S2: Oh yes! You’ll see many animals at the site. You
can take photos of them, but please don’t feed
them. It makes them sick. And please tell your
children not to chase them!
S1: Yes, of course. I understand.
