Heat, cold, mountains, deserts, illness, and animals. All of these were possible dangers when Nick Bourne decided to run from one end of Africa to the other - a journey that many people thought was impossible.
Bourne began his run in northern Egypt in October 1997. His adventure nearly ended 500 miles later while he was waiting to cross the Sudanese border the Egyptian military stopped him and refused to let him leave the country.
Eventually, he flew to Cape Town and started again on 21 January 1998. Every day he got up at 3.30 a.m., ate a breakfast of cereal, and started running. After 20 miles he stopped for a rest and had a pasta lunch, before running another 20 miles. He drank up to 15 litres of liquid a day.
He had some incredible experiences. He was crossing the Kalahari Desert in temperatures of 62°C when he came face to face with a giant cobra. In Zambia his heartbeat went up from 135 a minute to over 190, and his doctor found that he had malaria. He saw lions and ran through a herd of elephants, and a swarm of bees attacked him while he was running through Tanzania. He celebrated his 28th birthday with a chocolate cake in the shadow of Kilimanjaro.
After eleven months and 6,021 miles he arrived at the Pyramids and finished perhaps the most amazing run ever.
2. Read the text again. Put these events in order.
He saw a snake.
He decided to start from South Africa.
He started for the first time.
He arrived at the Pyramids.
He started for the second time.
A swarm of bees attacked him.
He became ill.
He crossed the border into Egypt.
He celebrated his birthday.
He flew to Cape Town.
3. Find all the past simple verbs in the story. Can you divide them into regular and irregular verbs?
4. Look at this sentence. What tenses are the two verbs?
He was crossing the Kalahari when he came face to face with a giant cobra.
5. Find two more examples like this in the text and make up your own sentences.
6. The -ed ending of regular verbs can be pronounced in three ways. Put these verbs from the text into the correct column.
|
decided
started
ended
arrived
stopped
celebrated refused
finished
|
|
/id/ |
/d/ |
/t/ |
Can you add two more verbs to each column?
Part 3
1. The extracts below are from guidebooks for Iceland and Zimbabwe. Read the extracts and match them to the countries.
|
There are three things that no traveler here should be without: a tent, a sleeping bag, and a torch. Take a tracksuit for mornings and evenings in game parks, with shorts for the daytime. A jacket and warm socks are a good idea as it can get cold at night. Other items which will be handy are a small travel alarm, a basic first aid kit, a water bottle, a towel, a camera and film, a penknife, and any batteries that you need. Take insect repellent, sun cream, and a money belt. |
Warm clothing will be of great importance to everyone. Between May and September you should take several pairs of thick socks, heavy windproof gloves, high-protection sunglasses, a wool hat, a jumper, hiking shorts, wool shirt and trousers (jeans are cold and uncomfortable when wet), and a waterproof jacket. Travelers in winter need to prepare for Arctic conditions. If you're camping, take your own stove, and as much dried food as possible. |
