10. Discussion: ( Talking on P55) Imagine that you are helping the cyclists to prepare for their trip down the Mekong. You need to choose what they will take with them from the following. Discuss which are most useful or which are least useful and give your reason. Flashlight/ umbrella/ matches/ water bottle/can and bottle openers/ radio/ tyre / blanket/ tent/ compass/ map/ raincoat This activity requires students to think critically and learn to be resourceful. Two sample dialogues are as follows:

11. 1. A: Well, I’m not sure about some of these things but I know a can/tin opener is not very useful. B: Why not? A: Think about it: cans/tins are heavy to carry on a bike. So cans/tins mean no use. B: Yes, you are right.And I’m not sure about the need for an umbrella. A: But certainly it will rain on their trip. So it is useful. B: I disagree. How can you hold an umbrella and ride a bike? A: Oh, yeah, I see what you mean. So they should have raincoats. Examples:

12. B: Yes, and raincoats are not as heavy. A: How about the radio? I mean, can they really use it? B: Maybe in China to get the weather. A: Yes, sure, but most of the trip is not in China. They don’t know the languages. B: Right, OK, so we agree that a can/tin opener, umbrellas and a radio are useless. A: So which are the most useful?

13. B: Right. I’m sure they need a map. A: Yes, if they have a map, they’ll know where they are. B: Now a tent, a blanket a water bottle and a map are the most useful. A: I think a tent and a blanket are the most useful. B: I agree, they need them to spend night. And I’m sure of the need of a compass. A: I don’t think so. As long as they travel down the river, they’ll never lose their way. B: Yes, how about a water bottle? A: In my opinion it’s the most useful. They need water all the way.
