2 Hi everyone, we come back with part 7f today. We are going to watch a very
interesting video. Now, please
look at the photo and read the caption. What can you see in the photo? Yes, we
can see a bear and a salmon. Actually, it is the sockeye salmon. You can see the
caption say that “ In Alaska, the sockeye salmon swims up the river. It’s a
dangerous journey” So, why do you think it is a difficult journey for the
sockeye salmon?
EXAMPLE ANSWERS
It’s dangerous because the bears are trying to eat them, the river is fast and
they are swimming up river, and there may be rocks and other obstacles.

3 Now, we will discover some key vocabularies before we watch the video.
Let’s read the sentences. The words in bold are used in the video. Match the
