1. Student A is talking about
activities he/she does on
field trips to national parks.

Situation 1. Sample conversation
A: On our fіeld trip to the national park next
week, we should collect some insects for our
biology lessons. We should bring some jars to put
them in.
B: I'm a big fan of insects. Putting them in jars
will kill them. And I don't think we should do
that. Insects play an important role in the
ecosystem. Why don't we just observe them and
take photos of them?
A: Great idea. I love it!
