3. *What do you see on the video?
*What do you think about the volcanoes?
*How do you feel if you are there during the
volcanoes eruption?
*How are volcanoes formed?

4. Topic:
Explanation text about phenomena which are
happend around us related to the things, animals,
and plants.
Goals:
Ask and give information related to the
phenomena which are happened around us in
English properly

5. How volcanoes are Formed
Have you ever wondered how volcanoes are
formed? A volcano is a vent or an opening on the earth’s
surface which allows molten rock called magma, volcanic
ash and gas to escape out onto its surface.
Volcanoes are formed where there is a crack in the
earth. A tube-like passage connects a chamber of magma
(molten rock) at the centre of the earth to the earth’s
crust. When the pressure builds up in the chamber, the
magma, gases and ash are pushed up through to the top
of the tube on the earth’s surface known as vent. The
red-hot magma that escapes to flow over the earth’s
surface is called lava which, when cools, forms into
rocks.
In fact, the mountains we see today are nothing but
solidfied lava from previously erupted volcanoes.
How are volcanoes formed?

The Life-cycle of a frog
Frogs are amphibians. They go through its own
life-cycle to grow.
First, the mother frog lays her eggs in the water.
This is called frog spawn. Next, the eggs hatch into tiny
tadpoles. During this time, they grow gills to help them
breathe. Then they grow two back legs. Later, they
grow two front legs. Afterwards, the tadpole looks like
a frog but it has a tail. This is called a froglet.
Finally, the froglet loses its tail. Now, it is a frog.
The adult frog has no tail as the tail has been
reabsorbed by the body.
