Santiago i njegove aktivnosti
Santiago nam govori o tome kamo želi ići, koliko voli prirodu i što za njega znači kampiranje.

Transkripcija
Do sada sam posjetio nekoliko nacionalnih parkova u Hrvatskoj – NP Krka, Plitvička jezera, Mljet i Sjeverni Velebit. Cilj mi je posjetiti i preostala tri nacionalna parka. No, sljedeći mjesec ne idem u nacionalni park već planiram odlazak u Kopački rit. To je prekrasan park prirode na istoku Hrvatske. Plan je kampirati četiri dana i stvarno se radujem tom iskustvu. Volim prirodu i kampiranje mi omogućuje da se maknem od grada i ljudi. S vremena na vrijeme volim provesti neko vrijeme u prirodi, na svježem zraku i u tišini. Budući da je Kopački rit poznat po mnogobrojnim vrstama ptica, nadam se da ću i vidjeti neke zanimljive vrste.
Prije samog kampiranja plan mi je provesti i dva dana u Osijeku. Nisam još bio tamo, pa želim istražiti grad. Po onome što sam vidio na internetu i što su mi ljudi pričali, Osijek izgleda vrlo lijep grad.
Ići ću autom jer je to najlakši način da dođem do Kopačkog rita, ali još nisam siguran tko će ići sa mnom. Planiram ići s prijateljima, ali nismo se još točno dogovorili. Nadam se da ćemo uskoro odlučiti.
1.6 Zadatak 4: Točno ili netočno?
Read each sentence carefully. If the sentence matches the dialogue, mark točno. If the sentence is not correct, mark netočno. If the dialogue does not give this information, mark ne znamo.
1.6 Zadatak 5: Odgovori na pitanja
Answer the questions by completing each sentence with the correct word. Pay attention to the form so that the sentence is both logical and grammatically correct.
1.6 Zadatak 6: Moje mišljenje
Answer the questions below in Croatian. This will help you prepare for the class discussion, as we will return to this topic during class. You will receive feedback from your instructor beforehand so you can improve your answers if needed.
Questions:
- Voliš li boraviti u prirodi i kampirati? Zašto da ili zašto ne?
- Više uživaš u miru i tišini ili u užurbanom životu grada? Objasni.
- S kim obično putuješ i kamo? Zašto baš tamo?
- Koji grad želiš posjetiti i istražiti u budućnosti?
- Što misliš o proučavanju ptica i ornitologiji 🐦? Je li ti to zanimljivo?
1.6 Zadatak 7: Lucija o Santiagu
You have already listened to what Santiago said about his trip. Now you will read a short text written from Lucija’s point of view, where she describes Santiago as a person. To understand her description, you need to think beyond Santiago’s exact words and focus on what we can conclude about him. Read carefully and decide how Santiago’s own words support Lucija’s opinion.
Now that you have read Lucija’s opinion, answer the questions below in Croatian.
Pitanja:
- Do you agree with Lucija’s description of Santiago? Elaborate with examples.
- In what ways are you similar to Santiago, and in what ways are you different?
