Can you name some of them? flood, fire, volcano, earthquake, typhoon, hurricane, tsunami, desertification, sandstorm tornado, drought… Do they have anything in common? What’s it? They share one common feature, that is, they cause a great deal of damage to buildings and hurt lots of people. Would you ask for help if you were involved in a natural disaster? Which organization or person would you turn to for help? firemen, policemen, PLA men, doctors, governments, Red Cross, hospitals, first-aid station… Step 2: Sharing information Look at the six pictures at page 49, these pictures present situations where people need international aid. Let’s have a discussion about them. Picture 1 Can you guess from the caption what the main tasks of peacekeeping soldiers are? Do you think these soldiers play an important role in maintaining the world peace? Do you think this kind of job is very demanding, challenging and risky? Why or why not? When you grow up, would you like to do this kind of job if you had the chance? Why or why not? Picture 2 What can you see in the picture? It is a picture of African children living in a poverty-stricken area. They suffer from malnutrition and hunger because of lack of food.. Can you imagine what will happen to these hungry children if nobody helps? How do you feel when you see this picture? How can we help them? Picture 3 What can you see in the picture? A flooded area. Suppose your home was struck by a flood, what would your life be like? Would you still live a normal life as before? No. For example, the roads would be blocked by the broken trees; the means of communication and traffic-roads and railway would be cut off. Picture 4 What can you see in the picture? Water is being pumped into the fields. What factors can ensure a good harvest? What would happen if there was not enough water for farming? Farmers would be very worried about their crops if there was a drought, as a drought sometimes can cause a famine. Picture 5 What is the doctor in the picture doing? Why do you think that doctors and nurses need to go to poor areas or countries to help? Picture 6 Apart from the problems listed above, people in poverty are still facing many other difficulties. Can you name some of them? Do you think children can receive good education and good medical care in poor areas? Can their daily necessities be guaranteed? If not, what will happen? Step 3: Discussion Have you ever helped people in need? What did you do to help them? Step 4: Homework 1.Collect more information about international organizations helping people in need. 2.

What do you think they can do to realize their dreams? So, we know that in other parts of the world, there are lots of children who are still struggling with starvation or war.
