Dreamer I dreamt I was an ocean and no one polluted me.
I dreamt I was a whale and no hunters chased after me. I dreamt I was the air and nothing blackened me. I dreamt I was a stream and nobody poisoned me. I dreamt I was an elephant and nobody stole my ivory. I dreamt I was a rainforest and no one cut down my trees.
I dreamt I painted a smile on the face of the Earth for all to see.

• Listen up! Read aloud from Listening Texts page 186. Explain to students that it is customary to introduce a speaker and then to thank them after they finish speaking. They will practise giving an introduction and vote of thanks in the speaking and listening exercise in this unit. • Students can either discuss the questions or write answers independently. ICT Students can conduct an online search to find more information about trees. Tell them to type a simple question, e.g. Why are trees important? and conduct a Google search.
