Work in groups. Look at the picture, and discuss what you know about Alaska (its location, climate, native people, culture, ...).

Read the text and check your answers.

If you go to the American state of Alaska, you might find the traditional lifestyle there interesting. Although Alaska is quite large, with nearly 1.7 million square kilometres, it has a small population of about 730,000.

The native peoples in Alaska still maintain many of their traditions. They keep their old ways of making arts and crafts alive. Various native groups have their own special styles of carving or weaving as well as their unique tribal dances and drumming. Therefore, visitors to Alaska may experience some of their culture in their villages. They may see performances of traditional music and native art in galleries and museums.

Alaska is also known for its unusual method of transport - the dogsled. Today, dog sledding (= mushing) is more of a sport than a true means of transport. The best-known race is the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, a 1,510 km race from Anchorage to Nome. Mushers from all over the world come to Anchorage each March to compete for cash and prizes.

Exercise 3. Look at the picture. Read the sentences and write the names of the students in the picture.

(Nhìn vào tranh. Đọc các câu và viết tên của học sinh trong tranh.)

John is wearing glasses. (John đang đeo kính.)

Emma is chatting to Dan. (Emma đang trò chuyện với Dan.)

Joe is between Dan and Sally. (Joe đang ở giữa Dan và Sally.)

Dan is sitting under the clock. (Dan đang ngồi dưới đồng hồ.)

There aren't any books on Becky's desk. (Không có quyển sách nào trên bàn của Becky.)

Read and listen to the dialogue. Look at the highlighted sentences and answer the questions. Then find one more third conditional sentence in the dialogue.

Sally: We were supposed to be there by five and it's 5.15 already. If you'd remembered the satnav, we wouldn't have got lost.

Ben: We aren't lost. I know where we are on the map. We're nearly there.

Sally: If we'd left home on time, we'd have arrived by now.

Ben: Well, that isn't my fault, is it? We'd have left on time if your mum hadn't phoned just as we were leaving.

Sally: Don't blame my mum! And we wasted so much time at the services. If we'd made sandwiches (like I suggested), we wouldn't have had to stop for lunch.

1 Did Ben remember the satnav?

2 Did they leave home on time?

3 Did they make sandwiches for the journey?

PART 1: Look at the picture and read the text. Then write one word for each gap. There is an example (0).
