Pre-listening Briefly explain the definition of an ecotour
An ecotour is a small, individually guided tour that
takes conservation and preservation issues into
consideration, donates to the local economy, and
teaches the travelers something about the nature
and culture of the area in which they are located
Activities on an ecotour
Ask Ss to work in pairs and discuss:
What might you do if you go on an ecotour?
Gather ideas from Ss and lead in the listening

Mr Green: Hello, everyone Today I’ll talk
about the effects of ecotourism on our environment Anybody here knows what ecotourism is?
(Male voice): Is it for tourists who want to go
hunting?

it’s for those who want to know more about nature

Mr Green: You’re right Ecotourists are
interested in watching wildlife without destroying nature
(Female voice): So ecotourism is
environment-friendly, isn’t it?
Mr Green: Yes and no Many tourists have the
intention of protecting wildlife, but many of their activities cause harm to the environment without their awareness
(Female voice): This means they don’t know
they’re harming wildlife?
Mr Green: No Probably not
c)
(Female voice): I don’t quite understand Why
don’t they know they’re harming wildlife?
Mr Green: Let me give you an example To
watch the whales or dolphins, people travel in boats The noise from the engines of these boats disturbs these animals, and they may get stressed or eat less
(Female voice): I see But Mr Green, when people
watch the birds, they don’t make any noise at all!
Mr Green: Right But they take photographs
and the strong light from the flashes frightens the birds
(Male voice): How about the effects on flowers
and trees, Mr Green?
Trang 17Time Steps Work

Mr Green: You mean the vegetation Yes,
tourists usually walk on the same path over time, and this may harm the ground cover – I mean the grass or wild plants that cover and protect the soil
(Female voice): What happens then?
(Male voice): Without this cover, the soil is
washed away when there are heavy rains Now, let’s talk about the fires

Post-listening Have Ss work in pairs and discuss possible effects
other ecotour activities might have on wildlife or
the environment
Go round the class and provide Ss with necessary
support
If time allows, call on some Ss to present their
ideas in front of the class
Make necessary comments and corrections
Give suggested answers:
- Buying objects made from endangered species
(ivory, coral, seashells, etc) may encourage illegal hunting or killing of these species
- Littering might pollute the environment
- Feeding animals may change their eating habits
and cause their unhealthy dependency on men’s source of food
- Touching animals can transmit diseases to them,
which are already in danger
- Boating might cause soil erosion

Wrapping Summarize the main points
The International Ecotourism Society defines Ecotourism as: "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the welfare of local people"
The Australian Commission on National Ecotourism Strategy calls it: based tourism that involves education and interpretation of the natural environment and is managed to be ecologically sustainable"
"nature-Features
1) Involves travel to natural destinations These destinations are often
remote areas, whether inhabited or uninhabited, and are usually under some kind of environmental protection at the national, international, communal or private level
2) Minimizes Impact Tourism causes damage Ecotourism strives to
minimize the adverse affects of hotels, trails, and other infrastructure by using either recycled materials or plentifully available local building materials, renewable sources of energy, recycling and safe disposal of waste and garbage, and environmentally and culturally sensitive architectural design Minimization of impact also requires that the
Trang 19numbers and mode of behavior of tourists be regulated to ensure limited damage to the ecosystem
3) Builds environmental awareness Ecotourism means education, for both
tourists and residents of nearby communities Well before departure tour operators should supply travelers with reading material about the country, environment and local people, as well as a code of conduct for both the traveler and the industry itself This information helps prepare the tourist
as The Ecotourism Societies guidelines state"to learn about the places and peoples visited" and "to minimize their negative impacts while visiting sensitive environments and cultures" Essential to good ecotourism are well-trained, multilingual naturalist guides with skills in natural and cultural history, environmental interpretation, ethical principles and effective communication Ecotourism projects should also help educate members of the surrounding community, schoolchildren and the broader public in the host country To do so they must offer greatly reduced entrance and lodge fees for nationals and free educational trips for local students and those living near the tourist attraction
4) Provides direct financial benefits for conservation: Ecotourism helps raise funds for environmental protection, research and education through a variety of mechanisms, including park entrance fees, tour company, hotel, airline and airport taxes and voluntary contributions
5) Provides financial benefits and empowerment for local people: National Parks and other conservation areas will only survive if there are "happy people" around their perimeters The local community must be involved with and receive income and other tangible benefits(potable water, roads, health clinics, etc.) from the conservation area and it's tourist facilities Campsites, lodges, guide services, restaurants and other concessions should be run by or in partnership with communities surrounding a park or other tourist destination More importantly, if Ecotourism is to be viewed
as a tool for rural development, it must also help shift economic and political control to the local community, village, cooperative, or entrepreneur This is the most difficult and time-consuming principle in the economic equation and the one that foreign operators and "partners" most often let fall through the cracks or that they follow only partially or formally
Trang 206) Respects local culture: Ecotourism is not only "greener" but also less culturally intrusive and exploitative than conventional tourism Whereas prostitution, black markets and drugs often are by-products of mass tourism, ecotourism strives to be culturally respectful and have a minimal effect on both the natural environment and the human population of a host country This is not easy, especially since ecotourism often involves travel
to remote areas where small and isolate communities have had little experience interacting with foreigners And like conventional tourism, ecotourism involves an unequal relationship of power between the visitor and the host and a commodification of the relationship through exchange
of money Part of being a responsible ecotourist is learning beforehand about the local customs, respecting dress codes and other social norms and not intruding on the community unless either invited or as part of a well organized tour

Trang 25the most significant temple in both Ha Noi and Viet Nam It is representative of Confucian ways of thought and behavior, and is a historical and cultural relic
In Canh Tuat Year (1070), King Ly Thanh Tong erected several important monuments, including the Temple of Literature In 1076, Vietnam's first university, Quoc Tu (National University), was established under the direction
of King Ly Nhan Tong near Van Mieu for the purpose of instructing the children of Mandarins, the aristocrats, and the brightest commoners During its more than 700 years of instruction (1076-1779), Quoc Tu Giam educated thousands of talented men for Vietnam
After more than 900 years of existence, repairs and renovations, Quoc Tu Giam is still an example of well-preserved traditional Vietnamese architecture Also preserved within these confines are valued relics representing the Millenary civilization, such as stelae with inscriptions of the names of distinguished scholars, the Well of Heavenly Clarity (Thien Quang Tinh), the pavilion in dedication of the Constellation of Literature (Khue Van Cac), the statue of Confucius, the Great House of Ceremonies, the ancient wall, kowtow portico and the sanctuary, the stone dragons, and the ink stone stands
Particularly impressive is the collection of 82 stone stelae which rest upon large stone tortoises They were created between 1484 and 1780 and are engraved with the names, places of birth and achievements of the 1,306 doctor laureates that received their degrees during this time span These stelae were erected to encourage learning and bestow honor on the talented men who assisted the Kings in defending the country

Vietnamese millionth-generation ancestor) All Vietnamese people are proud
of it and remember to celebrate Gi ỗ Tổ Hùng Vương every 10th day of 3rd
lunar month here
Chua Huong (Perfume pagoda) in Ha Tay
Chua Huong (Perfume pagoda) is located in Huong son (Perfume mountain)
70 km southwest of Hanoi Chua Huong is not one temple but a cluster of temples and shrines in the general vicinity of Huong son The pagoda(s) are located in My Duc hamlet in the province of Ha Tay According to the book,
Huong Son Thien Tru Pha, Huong Tich temple was built during the reign of Le
Chinh Hoa (1680-1705), by a monk who happened on the site on his way to search for enlightenment Other shrines and temples were later built in this area to take advantage of the beautiful scenery in this area
Perfume pagoda has a long history in Vietnamese literature This temple, its name, has been a theme of many songs, topic of poetry, used in literary works
as well as backdrops for paintings The uniqueness of Huong Son is that the mountains, river and forest appears like an oasis for buddhists in the middle of the great plains of northern Vietnam This location truly incorporates all the elements of beauty that is often used in Eastern philosophy and arts
Ben Thanh market in Ho Chi Minh City
Ben Thanh market has long been one of Saigon's most famous landmark The market has been in existence since the French occupation The original market was located on the shores of Ben Nghe river by old fort Gia Dinh Its proximity
to the fort and the river where merchants and soldiers would land was reason for its name (Ben meaning pier or port and Thanh meaning fort) In 1859, when the French invaded Saigon and overtook fort Gia Dinh, Ben Thanh Market was destroyed It was rebuilt shortly thereafter and remained standing until it was moved to its present location in 1899
Built on a landfill of what was once a swamp named Bo Ret (Marais Boresse), the new Ben Thanh Market is located in the center of the city Under the
Trang 27French government, the area around Ben Thanh Market was called Cu Nhac circle (Rond point Cuniac), named after Mr Cuniac, the person who proposed filling the swamp to create this area The area was later renamed Cong truong Dien Hong
Thap Ba (The Ponagar towers) in Nha Trang
Thap Ba (The Ponagar towers) once stood at the entrance of Cai river, where the river meets the ocean The towers stood in isolation on a rock foundation, but over many years the towers and the land it stands on became part of the land mass as the river changed its flows
Today, the tower is north of the river and the rock formation it stood on became known as nui Cu Lao or Mount Cu Lao The town of Vinh Phuoc at the base of the mountain was once a fishing village, known as Xom Chai and Xom Bong

Table 1
The table shows the deforestation situation in Southeast
Asia (Cambodia, Indonesia, and Laos) between 1990
and 2005 In general, Laos had larger forest cover than
Cambodia, and Indonesia had the largest of the three
countries In 1990, there was a difference of nearly 102
million hectares of forest cover between Cambodia and
Indonesia – 12.9 million in Cambodia and 116.5
million in Indonesia Meanwhile, the difference was
about 99 million hectares between Laos and Indonesia
Within 15 years (from 1990 to 2005), the overall
figures showed that Indonesia had the highest
percentage of total change or forest loss while Laos
had the lowest – 24% in Indonesia and only 6.7% in
Laos
Table 2
The table summarizes the number of total fires and
acres burned in the USA between 1980 and 2000
There were fewer fires in 1990 than in 1980, but more
acres of forest were destroyed The number of fires was
almost the same in both years 1990 and 2000; however,
there was a big difference of nearly 3 million acres
burned – about 8.4 million in 2000 and nearly 5.5
million in 1990.

grammar Presentation 2
Revision of reduced relative clauses
In English, relative clauses can be replaced by to
infinitive and participles
1 Relative clauses can be replaced by to infinitive
when:
− the nouns prior to relative pronouns go with the first,
the last, the only
Example:
I was the last student who handed in the test paper
I was the last student to hand in the test paper
− the verbs in the clauses indicate something should be
done, can be done or must be done
Whole class
Trang 35Time Steps Work
arrangement
Example:
Do you have any paper which you can sell?
Do you have any paper to sell?
2 Relative clauses can be replaced by present
participial phrases when the main verb in the clause
carries an active meaning
Example:
The girls who are standing at the school gate are in
grade 11A
The girls standing at the school gate are in grade 11A
3.Relative clauses can be replaced by past participial
phrases when the main verb in the clause carries a
passive meaning
Example:
The cars which are made in Japan are the best
The cars made in Japan are the best
Note: T may clarify this grammar point by giving more
examples and explanations if necessary
Have Ss work in pairs, ask and answer the questions by
using the reduced form of the relative clauses - to
infinitive
Call on some Ss to read their sentences aloud in front
of the class
Feedback and give correct answers:
1 Yes, I’m usually the first guest to come to a

4 Yes, It’s one of the most beautiful caves to have
ever been discovered in Viet Nam
5 I think the most common activity to harm the
environment is (making a campfire).
Ask Ss to work independently to rewrite the sentences
by using the reduced form of the relative clauses -
present and past participles
Have Ss exchange their sentences and cross check
Encourage Ss to discuss their answers with a friend
because some sentences are tricky
Check the exercise in front of the class as a whole
Give correct answers:
1 In the years to come, all the trees in this forest
will disappear if nothing is done to protect them
2 They couldn’t find a way to help clean the
polluted river
3 Animals born in zoos know nothing about life in
the forests
4 The governments of many countries are
discussing methods to protect the environment
5 During a boat tour along the canals, tourists
can see the birds searching for food or the cranes flying in flocks
6 Are national parks good places to house wild
animals?
