Clear communication is key to understanding and being understood. This unit helps you clarify and repeat information effectively, ensuring smooth and meaningful conversations. You’ll learn how to use causative "have/get" to describe real-world actions, whether answering questions or discussing wildlife issues, you'll gain confidence in making your voice heard.
Mission 1. A Call to the Wild
Carefully examine the poster about the Open Trip to Explore Wildlife in Tanjung Puting National Park. Pay attention to key details. Then, use the information from the poster to answer the following questions accurately.
• What is the main purpose of the poster? • How can someone confirm their booking for the trip? • The poster promotes a wildlife open trip. Based on the information provided, what makes this trip unique compared to a regular vacation? • The poster does not mention a strict age limit. Who do you think is the best target audience for this trip? • What could be a potential challenge of this wildlife trip that is not mentioned in the poster?
Mission 2. Talk the Talk!
Engage with the conversation about the poster of Open Trip to Tanjung Puting National Park! In the previous mission (mission 1). Read the discussion carefully and pay attention to the key details, arguments, and ideas exchanged.
Maya: Hey, Leo! I just saw this poster about the Wildlife Open Trip. It looks amazing! Can you clarify a few things for me? Leo: Of course, Maya! What would you like to know? Maya: First, the trip is for four days, right? What will we be doing each day? Leo: Great question! On Day 1, we’ll arrive and take a boat safari along the Sekonyer River to spot orangutans. Day 2 is all about jungle trekking and visiting a rehabilitation center for rescued wildlife. On Day 3, we’ll go deeper into the rainforest to observe rare species like proboscis monkeys and hornbills. Day 4 will be a relaxing morning before heading back. Maya: That sounds exciting! But I see the package includes meals. Are they vegetarian-friendly? Leo: Yes! We have vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, and we make sure all meals are locally sourced and eco-friendly. Maya: That’s great! Also, do we need any special gear for this trip? Leo: Not much, just comfortable hiking shoes, lightweight clothes, insect repellent, and a reusable water bottle. We’ll provide binoculars and safety equipment. Maya: Oh, one more thing. How do I confirm my booking? Leo: You just need to visit our website or contact us via WhatsApp. A 50% deposit secures your spot, and the rest can be paid before departure. Maya: That sounds perfect! Thanks for clarifying everything. I’ll book my spot today! Questions:
• Why is Maya asking for clarification instead of just relying on the poster? • Why do you think it’s important for travelers to clarify trip details before booking? • If Maya hadn’t asked for clarification, what problems might she have faced during the trip? • Maya asks about required gear for the trip. What does this tell us about the importance of preparation for adventure tourism? • The trip requires comfortable hiking shoes, lightweight clothes, and insect repellent. What does this imply about the physical demands of the trip?
Clarification is the process of asking for or providing more information to ensure understanding in a conversation. It helps avoid miscommunication, confusion, or misunderstandings by confirming details, explaining concepts, or elaborating on unclear points. • Clarification is useful when a message is unclear or ambiguous, when additional details are needed for decision-making, to confirm understanding and prevent misinterpretation, and when handling complex or new information. • Example: • "Could you explain that again in simpler terms?" • "Just to be sure, do you mean we meet at 10 AM or 10 PM?" • "Can you clarify what the package includes?" • Repetition is the act of restating or repeating information to reinforce understanding. It is useful for emphasizing key points, confirming details, or ensuring that important information is remembered. • Repetition is useful for explaining complex ideas, reinforcing learning, ensuring accuracy before taking action, and managing large amounts of information. • Example: • "As I mentioned earlier, the meeting starts at 2 PM." • "Just to repeat, we will meet at the school gate at 8 AM." • "Again, the price includes transportation, meals, and accommodation."
Did you know that microplastics have been found in 99% of seafood samples tested in a recent study? Researchers discovered microplastics in 180 out of 182 seafood samples, with shrimp showing the highest levels of contamination. Over 80% of these microplastics were fibers from clothing or textiles. This highlights the pervasive issue of plastic pollution in our oceans and its potential impact on the food chain.

Mission 5. Understanding Key Expressions!
Carefully read the dialogue between Rio, Tatum, Kiho, and Sari. Highlight key expressions used for different communicative functions, then match each expression to its correct meaning.
Rio: Hey, Tatum, Kiho, Sari—this says there’s a new wildlife conservation project in our city. Have you heard about it? Tatum: Hmm, I’m not sure. Can you give me a bit more detail about what the project is focusing on? Rio: Sure! The project focuses on protecting endangered birds and creating green spaces in urban areas. Kiho: Oh, that sounds interesting! Just to make sure I understand correctly, it’s about both protecting animals and improving their environment? Rio: Yes, exactly! Volunteers will help build bird sanctuaries and plant native trees. Sari: That’s amazing! I completely agree that we need more green spaces in the city. Tatum: Yeah, I feel the same way! But, I do wonder if people will actually participate in the project? Kiho: I get what you’re saying, but I believe awareness campaigns could encourage them. Maybe they could organize school workshops about conservation? Rio: That’s actually a really solid idea! They do have a school outreach program planned. Sari: Oh! That reminds me—I read about a city where they built artificial nests for birds. Maybe we could suggest something similar? Tatum: That’s a fascinating idea! It could work if we get the community involved. Kiho: Absolutely! To build on that, we could also create small gardens to attract birds and pollinators. Rio: I love these ideas! So, if I understood correctly, we’re talking about bird sanctuaries, tree planting, and community education, right? Sari: Exactly!
