We're learning Lesson Ten "Little Penguins" in the Far East English Reader Book One. Do you know any other animals in Australia? Here is a simple task for you.
Can you guess what each animal is after reading the following description?
(You may find the names of these animals and their pictures in your book.)
(1) I'm very tall and I have long legs, so I can run very fast. I have very long feathers, but I can't fly because my body is too big.
(2) I live in my mother's pouch most of the time because I'm still very young. I can see lots of interesting things from my mother's pouch when she hops around. When I'm older, I will have long legs like my mother, and I'll be able to hop around like she does.
(3) My mouth and my feet look like a duck's mouth and feet. The hair on an animal's body is called fur, and I have lots of fur on my body. I live in a river and I can swim very well. I'm a very unusual animal because I'm not a bird, but I lay eggs, and my babies hatch out of the eggs.
(4) I live in trees and I eat leaves. When I was a baby, my mother carried me on her back. Now I'm older, and I can climb the trees myself. I climb them very slowly, though. I like sleeping very much. In fact, I usually sleep for about 18 hours every day.
(5) I have a large head and short legs. I look like a small, hairy pig. I walk slowly, but I can run very fast. I live in holes in the ground, and I like to sleep most of the day.
P.S. Elizabeth has got all the answers right. Please check her comment. 12/25/2006

You're so right about "kangaroo", "platypus" and "koala", but for (1) and (5), you may check your textbook again. We'll see who can first find them all.:)
