2. After the crew took over the ship “Boundy”, Captain Bligh was allowed to take with him a chart , a compass and a quadrant.
3. It was very difficult for us to get a correct reading from the quadrant as the boat moved constantly during the course.
4. Captain Bligh used a system called “dead reckoning” and he knew there was land directly southwest of their original position.
5. We completely believed Captain Bligh when he talked hopefully about what we would do when we got back to England.
6. Captain Bligh was as weak as the rest of us but he was determined not to give up. 7. Captain Bligh kept us busy and tried to take our minds off our stomach and thirst all the way. 8.

Give the students a few minutes to read the passage again and then get the general idea of the text.
This is the storey of Captain Bligh’s amazing journey across the Pacific Ocean in an open boat with his followers after another group of sailors under Fletcher Christian had taken over the ship. Later Captain Bligh and his men made for the island of Timor using a combination of navigational skill and “dead reckoning”, which is guessing the correct direction. The voyage lasted over 40 days and was one of the greatest examples of survival at sea. c. Explain some difficult sentences, phrases and words. Key phrases: 1. in addition 另外
There was an earthquake and, in addition, there were tsunamis. 除了地震之外，还有海啸。 比较：in addition, in addition to

The team snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. 这个队翻盘而险胜。 Step4 Discussion
Discuss these situations in fours and then hold a class discussion.
1. Would you have behaved like the person in the reading and joined Captain Bligh in the open
boat or stayed on the “Bounty”? You should have reasons for your choice.
2. At the time that the nineteen men in the boat sailed for Timor they did not know if they would survive or not. What do you think were the most important things they would need to take with them? Who should decide these items? Remember that the boat was already very full with people and could not hold very much more.
3. Many men who wanted to go into the boat were unable to because of the lack of space. If they stayed on the “Bounty” and were caught by the British navy, they should be killed according to
the law.
4. What would the students have done to avoid being caught and punished if they had been part of the group who took over the “Bounty”? Would they have gone back to Tahiti or looked for another place to live? Which place would be the safest?
5. After the discussion let students prepare for the speaking exercise and encourage them to make notes of their ideas. Follow this format: Discuss in pairs. Make a list of the ideas. 6. Swap ideas with another pair and resolve differences. Make a new list of the ideas.
7. One member of the group should give the ideas to the class in turn. Other groups can discuss these ideas and evaluate them. One sample dialogue:
Li Pei (LP), Du Zhou (DZ), Wen Fuqing (WF) and Liu Yongfu (LY) are discussing the journey and Captain’s Bligh’s leadership qualities.
LP: Why are you convinced that this journey shows the greatest navigational skill? I’m sure there must have been others that were as good, if not better! DZ: Do you know of many other sea voyages of this kind? WF: Well, there’s that journey by Shackleton from Elephant Island in the Antarctic to get help
from another island with a whaling station. He wanted to rescue his men. The weather was terrible and he was in an open boat, too. LY: How can you think that journey was more difficult? It didn’t last very long. Captain’s Bligh’s
journey lasted over forty days, was very hot and they had very little food and water. It was because Captain Bligh was a great leader that they survived.
DZ: Now that I’ve heard about it I am very impressed. All those men pushed together in a very
small boat, it must have been terrible for them to stay friendly. Meanwhile they were being driven mad by lack of fresh water and there was all that salt water all around them. That’s the reason I think it was the greatest sea escape.
LP: When you put it that way I suppose it was a great achievement. Captain Bligh was certainly
excellent in the way he kept the men occupied and tried to take their minds off their troubles. In addition he treated everyone the same when it came to food or water. So I think you are right and it was the greatest example of navigational skill against the odds! Do you agree? DA, WF and LY (together): Yes. We do.
Step5 Homework
Finish exercises in workbook.
After class write a report to your letter explaining to him why you think Captain Bligh should or should not receive the medal. Sample letter Dear Sir，
I think Captain Bligh should certainly receive a special medal for his amazing voyage across
the sea to Timor. This is a journey that could not have been completed without great navigational skill. In addition Captain Bligh did not lose one man.
First, he showed his leadership qualities by sharing the food and water fairly with the men in the boat. Everyone was treated equally and this made for good feeling between the members of the boat.
Second, he kept everyone in the boat cheerful by discussing what they would do when they arrived safely. No one was allowed to think about what might happen if they did not arrive! Third, he kept them occupied by organizing the complicated mathematical calculations needed to find their position at sea. The crew who had taken over the “Bounty” had left Captain Bligh with only a quadrant and a compass. This meant that numerous calculations were needed to find their correct position. Captain Bligh regularly and each person was given a different activity was important because it stopped the men from thinking about how little food and water there was. So I hope you will give Captain Bligh this medal. He has shown leadership, fairness and concern for his crew and helped them return to England safely. Yours,
(your name)
