UNIT 8 LESSON 06: TRAVEL AND ADVENTURE

Let’s go on an adventure! 🌍🎒

🌍 TRAVEL & ADVENTURE

An adventure can be a special trip where you discover new places and do new activities.

Word	Example
adventure	Our adventure starts today.
island	We are visiting an island.
mountain	There is a mountain near the village.
forest	We are walking through the forest.
river	There is a river near the campsite.
campsite	We are staying at a campsite.
backpack	I have my backpack with me.
camera	I’m taking my camera.
map	We have a map.
guide	Our guide knows the area.

🎒 WHAT DO YOU TAKE?

When we go on an adventure, we can take useful things with us.

• a backpack
• a map
• a camera
• a water bottle
• a jacket
• some snacks
• a phone

For example:

I always take a water bottle and a map when I go hiking.

🔎 SOMETHING, ANYTHING OR NOTHING?

We use these words when we talk about things without saying exactly what they are.

Word	Example
something	I need something for the trip.
anything	Do you need anything?
nothing	There is nothing in my bag.

Remember:

• something → usually in affirmative sentences
• anything → often in questions and negative sentences
• nothing → means “not anything”

🗺️ IF SOMETHING HAPPENS…

When we travel, unexpected things can happen. We can use the First Conditional to talk about a possible situation and its result.

Possible situation	Result
If it rains,	we will find a dry place.
If we get lost,	we will look at the map.
If we get hungry,	we will find something to eat.
If we miss the bus,	we will take the next one.

Remember: after if, we use the Present Simple. In the other part, we use will + verb.

🏕️ AN ADVENTURE IN THE MOUNTAINS

Read about Leo’s adventure with his family.

Leo is going on an adventure with his family. They are travelling by train to a small village near the mountains. From the station, they will walk to a campsite.
