Lesson idea · فكرة الدرس
Reading tips for riding a camel; Andrew's shark diving experience; Uncle Hameed the travel writer and linking words.
Key points · أهم النقاط
- Camels are called "ships of the desert"; they have been a favorite means of transport for millennia because they can withstand the hot, dry desert climate.
- Riding a camel is different from riding a horse: the rider sits about two meters above the ground on the hump, and a camel moves its two right legs together, then its two left legs.
- Tips: sunscreen, long sleeves and a hat; long pants and socks; go with an experienced cameleer (camels are emotional); get on when the camel is sitting; lean back when it stands up; hold the reins confidently (camels are intelligent and sense nervousness); bend knees at 90°.
- Shark diving: you go down inside a cage; people throw pieces of fish tied to a rope to attract the sharks.
- Linking words: addition (and, also, too), contrast (but, however), examples (for example, such as), time (before, after, first, then).
