1.Main idea of the passage(This is a piece of narrative writing):

The text tells about the author’s job as a volcanologist and his experience collecting information about Mount Kilauea.

Scanning

1.What shows that the author like his job in para 1 and the last para? (Group6)

(I have the greatest job in the world

Danger excites me and makes me feel alive

I am just as enthusiastic about my job …

I am still amazed at their beauty…)

2.What did the scientists do after the eruption? (Group7)

(Dropped as close as possible to the crater

Slowly made our way to the edge of the crater

Looked down into the red, boiling centre

Climbed down into the crater to collect some lava)

3. Why is a volcanologist’s job important? (Group1)

(Volcanologists study volcanoes so that they can warn people when the volcano is going to erupt and so save many lives.)

4. Why is the lava that flows on Mount Kilauea more dangerous than the actual eruption? (Group2)

(The lava flows down the mountain and can cover up or burn villages in its path. The rocks that erupt from the volcano usually don’t damage anything because no one lives near the crater.)

5. Why did the scientists have to get close to the volcano after it began erupting? (Group3) (The scientists needed to get samples of the lava so they could study them.)

6.Can you find some words about volcano or his job from the text?

Dangerous (boiling rock, lava) beautiful (wave, fountain)
