Bush Survival Comprehension Exercise
📖 Part 1: Reading Comprehension
Read the following passage about bush survival, then answer the questions below:
"Right then, mate. So you've gone and got yourself lost in the bush, eh? Don't panic - that's the first rule. The New Zealand bush might look like a green maze, but she's not out to get you if you use your noggin. First thing - find shelter before dark. A good overhang or even a pile of branches will do. You don't want to be wandering around in the dark like a possum with a torch.
Water's your next priority. Listen for streams - they're usually downhill. If you can't find running water, collect dew on your shirt in the morning or catch rainwater in whatever you've got. Don't drink from stagnant pools unless you're desperate, mate.
For tucker, stick to what you know. Puha's good eating if you can spot it, and watercress grows near streams. Don't go munching on random berries unless you fancy a one-way ticket to the great campfire in the sky. And remember - three days without water, three weeks without food. Water first, always.
Signal for help during the day. Three of anything - whistle blasts, mirror flashes, smoke signals. Make yourself big and obvious. Rescuers can't find what they can't see. Stay put once you've made camp - don't go wandering off like a tourist at a souvenir shop."
