Some national parks are near rivers and forests. It is hot in the summer and cold in the winter. There is also a monsoon season when it rains a lot. In these parks, you can see elephants, tigers, and baboons. You can also see flamingos, deer, wild boar and buffalo.
Some national parks are in the mountains. There is a lot of snow and it is freezing cold. There is no monsoon season and the summer is short. In these parks, you can see bears, eagles and mountain deer. You can also see wolves, foxes and the rare snow leopard. Snow leopards have got black or brown spots. They are smaller than tigers. Snow leopards live on their own and they do not roar.
There are also rhinos and hippos. Rhinos are bigger than hippos, but hippos are fiercer.

POST There are many stories about animals in India. This is a traditional story about how the tiger got its stripes. Check it out and let me know what you think. Enjoy!
Lesson 3 8
CD1 0
Listen to and read the story.
How the tiger got its stripes Why is the tiger curious? What is the man’s trick?
2
A tiger walks to the edge of the forest. A man is eating his lunch by a rice field. An enormous buffalo is eating grass nearby. The tiger creeps up to the buffalo.
1
A long time ago, in the days when animals can speak, tigers are white or brown but they haven’t got stripes. Then one day something happens to change this forever.
The man is more intelligent than I am.
Don’t be scared. I’m not hungry. I’m curious. You’re bigger and stronger than the man. Why do you work for him?
What is intelligence? And where does the man get it from? 3
4
The tiger leaps over to the man. The man stands up. He’s shaking with fear. Intelligence is very precious. I don’t want to share it with you.
What is intelligence? Where do you get it from? Please can you share it with me.
9
Are you sure? I’m feeling hungry …
The man is worried. He thinks quickly. My intelligence is at home. Wait here and I can get it. Don’t come with me because people in my village are scared of tigers. I don’t want to leave my buffalo with a hungry tiger. Please can I tie you to this banana tree?
Alright. But make sure you come back. Or tomorrow I may be hungrier …
Read and say True or False. Correct the false sentences. 1 2 3 4 5 6
28
I don’t know. Why don’t you ask him?
The man is stronger than the buffalo. The man is more intelligent than the buffalo. The man ties the tiger to an apple tree. The man and his son bring a lot of wood. The tiger cools his fur in the river. The black stripes are from the fire.

6
The tiger wants the man’s intelligence so much that he agrees. The man ties the tiger to the banana tree with thick rope.
Later, the man returns with his son and a lot of dry straw. Look. I keep my promises. Here is my intelligence.
Ha, ha. I’m safe now.
Really? Is this intelligence?
Ha, ha. With the man’s intelligence I can rule the jungle.
Yes, of course it is!
7
8
The man and his son lay the straw around the tiger and set it on fire. The tiger breaks the rope and leaps away.
The tiger races to the river. He swims in the water and cools his fur. Ah, that’s better. But look at my fur! I’ve got orange stripes from the fire and black stripes from the rope.
Roooaarrr! This is cruelty, not intelligence!
9
And this is the story of how the tiger got its stripes. It’s also the reason why tigers never trust people.
Do you know…? A tiger’s stripes are unique – like a person’s finger prints! Stripes also help tigers to hide in forests.

Endangered Red animals alert!
1
The earth is getting hotter. It is harder for animals to find the food and water that they need. 3
An endangered animal is an animal in danger of extinction. There are four main reasons why animals are endangered:
POLLUTION
The earth, rivers and seas are polluted by chemicals and rubbish. Animals catch diseases and die. 4
LOSS OF HABITAT
HUNTING AND POACHING
Animals lose their homes when people cut down forests to build farms or roads. They also lose their source of food and water.
People hunt and poach wild animals for their skins, horns or tusks, or to sell them as exotic pets.
Mountain gorillas live in Africa. There are about 800 in the world today. Gorillas are endangered because of loss of habitat, poaching and hunting baby gorillas to sell as exotic pets.
Giant pandas live in China. There are about 2,000 in the world today. Giant pandas are endangered because of loss of habitat and pollution.
Polar bears live in the Arctic. There are about 20,000 in the world today. Polar bears are endangered because of global warming and pollution.
Indian rhinos live in Asia. There are about 3,000 in the world today. Indian rhinos are endangered because of hunting and poaching for their valuable horns.
Tigers live in Asia. There are about 4,000 in the world today. Tigers are endangered because of loss of habitat, global warming, poaching and hunting for their skins.
Snow leopards live in Asia. There are about 5,000 in the world today. Snow leopards are endangered because of loss of habitat, hunting and poaching for their skins.

POST Look at my project about the red squirrel. Why are red squirrels endangered? How many are there in the UK today?
An endangered animal My favourite endangered animal is the red squirrel. Red squirrels live i n the trees in woods and parks. They are red or brown and have got white fur on their chests. They eat nuts and seeds. Red squirrels are shy and live on their own. Red squirrels are in danger because of loss of habitat, disease and road traffic. They are also in danger from grey squirrels. Red squirrels are smaller than grey squirrels but they have got longer ears and tails. Grey squirrels are heavier and stronger than red squirrels. Grey squirrels are hungrier and eat red squirrels’ food. Grey squirrels also live longer than red squirrels. There are about 3 million grey squirrels in the UK today but there are only about 140,000 red squirrels. By Rosa.

When an adjective has: – 1 syllable, we add –er e.g. tall , taller . – 1 vowel and 1 consonant at the end, we double the letter e.g. big , bigger – 2 syllables ending in ‘y’, we change the ‘y’ to ‘i’ e.g. heavy , heavier – 3 or more syllables, we use ‘more’ e.g. intelligent , more intelligent 1
