There are several important character traits that an explorer should have, but one of the most important is determination. Exploration can be a difficult and dangerous endeavor, and setbacks and obstacles are common. A determined explorer will be able to persevere through these challenges and continue on with their mission. Other important character traits for an explorer include courage, adaptability, resourcefulness, and an open-mindedness to different cultures and ways of life.

Work in groups. Discuss the following questions
Where on Earth is the most dangerous area to explore: a desert, the polar regions, or the sea?
A desert is considered the most dangerous area to explore on Earth due to its extreme conditions. The lack of water and shade, high temperatures during the day, and extremely low temperatures at night can cause dehydration, heatstroke, and hypothermia. Moreover, sandstorms and strong winds can make it difficult to navigate and cause visibility issues. Additionally, deserts are often remote and isolated areas, which means that getting help or rescue can be challenging. All of these factors make the desert a very challenging and dangerous place to explore.

Read the task below and write a letter of complaint (150-180 words) to the service provider
Dear Sir / Madam, I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction with the service I received during my recent journey on your coach service. My experience was extremely disappointing and I feel that your company needs to make significant improvements to its services. Firstly, the coach was delayed for over an hour without any prior communication from the company. The lack of information provided to passengers was unacceptable, as it left us in a state of confusion and uncertainty. Secondly, the coach was overcrowded and uncomfortable, with insufficient legroom and no ventilation. The air conditioning system was not functioning, making the journey very uncomfortable and unpleasant. I would like to suggest that your company improves its communication with passengers, providing timely updates on any delays or changes in the schedule. Moreover, your company should invest in improving the comfort of the coaches, including adequate legroom and ventilation facilities. I hope that you take my complaint seriously and take immediate steps to improve the services provided by your company. I look forward to hearing from you soon regarding the actions taken. Yours sincerely, Trang Nguyễn
