And you’re going to read about the human connection to nature and why it’s important for nature conservation. Now in week 2, we will also be doing reading. And you’re going to look at the vocabulary to describe forests. And we’re going to look at Forest conservation in New Zealand. And in week 3, the focus will be on listening, and you will be listening to vocabulary about ecological restoration.

And you will listen to a video about The Brook Sanctuary in Nelson, in New Zealand. And in the last week, the focus will be on speaking.
