Activities to chapter 2: Captain Nemo and the Nautilus....................7

In 1866 a strange object was seen by sailors at sea. This strange object had

attacked a ship in the Atlantic Ocean. Professor Aronnax was invited to

join the expedition to look for this strange Narwhale. He went aboard the

Abraham Lincoln with his servant Conseil, and met Ned Land.. The Abraham

Lincoln sailed all over the world for a whole year but couldn’t find the

Narwhale. On the last day, Professor Aronnax saw the Narwhale and the ship

chased it for the rest of the day. The boat couldn’t catch the Narwhale so Ned

Land threw a stone at the Narwhale. The Narwhale went under the water and

a huge wave hit the ship, which knocked Professor Aronnax and Conseil into

the sea. They swam for a while and found the Narwhale. They climbed onto

the Narwhale where they met Ned Land. The Narwhale wasn’t an animal but a

metal machine. Sailors appeared and took them down into the machine.

B. Order Sentences

All these sentences appeared in the story. Put them in the correct order as

they were in the original.

We arrived at the Abraham Lincoln and I was introduced to Captain Farragut.

Our ship chased the animal all day, but at no time did we manage to catch it.

At the time these things were happening, I was returning from a scientific trip

in The United States of America.

I hit my foot against the animal and heard a metallic sound.

The US Navy read my newspaper article and made plans for an expedition to

catch the narwhale.

The bullet hit the narwhale but didn’t go in and simply fell into the sea.

Therefore, until I get more information, I have to think that the monster is a

huge narwhale.

Scientists from every country wrote articles, gave lectures and talked about

the animal.

As the wave came nearer, everyone looked for something to hold onto.

Sir, if you would like to join the expedition of the Abraham Lincoln, the

United States Government will happily have you on board.
