Plants can make their own food or energy from the light of the sun, but animals can't do this. Animals have to eat plants or other animals to get energy to live. Some animals eat only plants. We say that these animals are herbivores. Some animals eat onlymeat. We say that these animals are carnivores. Some animals eat both plants and meat. We say that these animals are omnivores. Plants can't move around, but most animals can move around. Animals are divided into groups. 1a Looking and describing On page 118 in the picture you will see a zoo with animals and visitors. Now choose adjectives listed in the box to describe the six animals. African elephants Chimpanzees Kangaroos Manatees Cheetahs Polar bears enormous noisy playful gentle, shy spotted, fast Furry, aggressive 1b Listening and circling Victor and Ginny are talking about animals. They are describing them with many different words. Now listen to their talk and circle the words used in 1a to describe the animals. Tapescript Boy: Hey, Ginny.

The cheetah is the fastest animal on earth 1c Doing groupwork We humans are animals, too. So we are like animals in some ways. Now in groups of four, you are going to think of an animal that is the same as you are in some ways. Then you are to describe the animal and the others are to guess its name. A: I am like this animal because I am strong and intelligent. I like water, and I like to eat vegetables. B: You’re like an elephant. A: No. B: You’re like a manatee. A: Yes!

A: Yes! 2a Listening and matching A boy is asking a man about animals he likes. Tapescript Boy: Can you tell us about the manatees, please Man: Sure. We’re trying to save them. Boy: Why Are they endangered Man: Yes. There used to be a lot of manatees, but now there aren’t very many of them. Boy: Do you know how many there are Man: At this point, there are only about 2, 500 in the U.S. In 1927, it was discovered that they were endangered. Since then, the government has passed laws to protect them. Boy: Where do they live Man: Their favorite habitat is the water under the trees in mangrove swamps. Boy: And why are they endangered Man: Some of the swamps have become polluted. Also, there sometimes isn’t enough food for all of them. As you can see, they’re large. The average manatee is about ten feet long and weighs about 1, 000 pounds. They need about 100 pounds of aquatic feed a day. Boy: Aquatic feed Man: Oh, that’s underwater plants and vegetation. That’s what they eat. Now listen to their talk and match the words with the definitions in the box on page 119. 1. endangered →b. there aren’t very many of them. 2. mangrove swamps → d. a place where trees grow in water 3. habitat → a. the place where something lives 4. aquatic feed → underwater plants and vegetation 2b Listening and completing Next you are going to complete the chart on page 119 in the middle. Listen to the talk once more for the necessary information.
