The topical sentences are: Part I: It was my idea of the perfect summer job: working as a camp counselor in the Rocky Mountains. Part II: I realized working with the kids could also be a real pain. Part III: It means being prepared to really listen when somebodys giving me divine directions.Rhetorical features of the text (p172) To describe what he did in his attempt to fight the mountain lion, the author of the text uses two kinds of verbs, i.e. verbs expressing verbal actions and those indicating material actions. For the first kind, we can find: screaming (Paragraph 16); yelling at the top of my lungs (Paragraph 17); roared, yelling (Paragraph 18). And for the second kind, we can find: spun around to the others (Paragraph 16); ran towards the lion, charging at the animal, kicking its muscular side as hard as I could, kicked again and again, even punched it with all my might (Paragraph 17); and slammed my foot into the cougars whiskered face, pulled back to boot it again, charged at it (Paragraph 18). The use of these verbs shows effectively that the author did everything he could in his fight against the fierce animal and his attempt to protect the child.Vocabulary exercises (pp172-173) I.

They have very clear instructions as to what must be done, no artificial aids whatsoever. We tell them that they can wear a cap, a bathing costume and lanolin grease, and thats all. They walk in at this side, get out at the other side clear of the water and then theyve swum the Channel.I: Rather them than me! Now just tell us what happens. They start here. What is the best time, first of all of the year, and what is the best time of the day to do it?K: Well, it must be warm, Janet, so July, August, September are the best months and then we give the swimmers a table of the tides which shows them high tides at Dover.I: Do they start on high tide?K: They start an hour and a half after high tide.I: And what sort of style do they use?

We recommend at least thirty hours swimming each week in your last three weeks.I: Yes, erm, an obvious question, the cold.

It probably eases the shock when they first get in the water, but .I: And what about feeding theyre allowed to be fed from the boat is that fight?K: Oh yes, yes, they cant hang on to anything of course. Theyd be immediately disqualified if they even hung onto the boat for one second, unless of course the boat hit them, .
