Which four parts make up the upper part of the Saturation City? The floating island includes 4 parts as followed: a hotel with many rooms for families to relax while their bodies return to normal; a large classroom with all kinds of educational aids for children of school age; a huge sports stadium; a very big hall for entertainment.
This passage is written in the style
of an advertisement to sell houses
under the sea. As people are not used
to living under the sea, the company
must encourage people to move there
by giving them some extra
advantages.
Writing Style
The aim of this task is for students to
imagine what it would be like to live
under the sea: its advantages and
disadvantages.
The name, Saturation City, comes
from science. After people have stayed
for some time under the water they
need to come up to the surface.
They are “saturated” or have stayed as long as their health will allow. At the moment it is difficult to stay for one full day under water except under special conditions. In key Largo, Florida, scientists have devised an undersea laboratory, which means that people can live and work under water for up to ten days at a time before returning to the surface.
By the year AD 3008 it will
undoubtedly be possible to stay under
water even longer.
Living underwater is similar to going
into space. Both affect the human body
badly. In space, the lack of gravity
makes a person grow taller and his/her
bones become more brittle.
Under water, the pressure pressing
down on the person is too great. So,
people living underwater have to come
back up to the surface to restore their
bodies to normal. In the reading, three
man-made islands have been provided
for this purpose for the people of
Saturation City.
People are asked to move and live under
the sea in AD 3008. It is assumed that the
population on earth has become so great
that it is impossible for them all to find a
place to live on land. Perhaps global
warming has melted the ice in the North
and South Poles and raised the sea level.
If that were the case, the land would
be needed to grow food for the
growing population.
Speaking Task on Page 60
What’s the purpose of building these
parts?These four parts provide the necessary
“home space” for families on their
regular leave so that no island is too
crowded and everyone gets a break from
underwater life.
1. Who has the right to go to the education
part?
2. When will the education part be open to
the people?
3. Where will the education part be built?
4. What kind of service will you provide?

A sample version
The wonderful facilities in the sports
stadium of No.3 Floating Island,
Saturation City, means that the
company can offer a full programme of
sports. There are coaches for all areas
of sport so that everyone will be able to
improve their health.
All sports are offered. There are opportunities to improve skills in running and all field events, high and long jump, swimming, and throwing events. There is also a fully equipped gym for exercise and gymnastics. There are two kinds of coach: specialist ones to improve a particular skill to international level; general
ones to improve fitness and encourage healthy exercise. Both kinds of coach are available at all times for those who live in Saturation City. The fitness programme is intended to encourage personal improvement. The specialist programme is intended for competitions (which will be held once a month).
The winners in each event will have to enter the trials for the Olympic Games in AD 3008 which will take place in the Sahara Desert, North Africa. We hope that you feel that these facilities and programmes will help raise your fitness level and specialist expertise. We hope you will come and try our sports centre for yourselves.
Suppose a press conference and
exhibition is going to be held to make
the undersea city known among
people. If you work in the company,
can you design a special poster to
draw visitors’ attention so that they
will come to the press conference?
