Integrated skills

Part A1

Mr Wu:Suzy,I want to show you some pictures of animals.Look,this is a giraffe.

Suzy:Oh,its neck is so long.

Mr Wu:Yes,it's also quite tall.And … here's another one.It's very small.Do you know what it is?

Suzy:Of course.It's an ant.Ants are very hard-working.What about the next one?What's that animal called in English?

Mr Wu:It's a snake.Snakes live on the ground,in trees or in water.

Suzy:Really?I know what this animal is.It's a camel.

Mr Wu:Yes,it is.Camels usually live in very dry places.

Part A2

Mr Wu:How much do you know about animals,Suzy?

Suzy:Not much,Mr Wu.I'm afraid of animals,I never go near them,not even small animals.

Mr Wu:I don't think you should be afraid of all animals,Suzy.Some animals are really interesting.Look at the giraffe.It has a very long neck,but there are only seven bones in it,just like ours.

Suzy:Oh,that's interesting!

Mr Wu:And look at the snake.It eats little or nothing for months in cold winter.It sleeps all the time till the weather gets warmer.

Suzy:That's amazing! Can you tell me something about camels?

Mr Wu:Sure!Camels live in very dry places,and they can live without water for a long time.

Suzy:That's really amazing! And what about these ants?

Mr Wu:Do you know that they can smell things well?

Suzy:Really?I think I should keep my house very clean then.I don't want any ants there.
