AFRICAN ELEPHANTS<br />
Name: __________<br />
African elephants are the biggest land animals on Earth. They<br />
are mammals. They live in Africa. They live in the savannah,<br />
forests, river valleys and semi-desert regions of Africa south of<br />
the Sahara desert.<br />
They are herbivores, they eat all kind of vegetation like grasses,<br />
leaves or fruits but they don’t eat meat. They are social animals.<br />
They live in groups. The oldest female of the group is the leader<br />
and the rest of the members follow her.<br />
They can live for about 70 years. They are very big. They can<br />
weigh more than 5.000 kilograms and they can be 4 metres tall.<br />
An adult elephant trunk is about 2 metres long. This long nose<br />
is used to drink, smell, breathe and trumpet. Elephant trunks<br />
can produce more than 25 sounds. Also, elephants have got<br />
two tusks.<br />
An African elephant can eat 130 kilograms of food in one day.<br />
They need a lot of food to live. Also, it can drink 7.5 litres of<br />
water every time. They spend most of the time eating and<br />
drinking. After drinking a lot of water, they can go two days or<br />
more without drinking.<br />
Baby elephants drink milk from their mothers for four, five or six<br />
years.<br />

big and the other animals are afraid of them. Sometimes, the<br />
only enemy are the humans. Some people want to kill them<br />
because of their tusks.<br />

Asian elephants. African elephants can be 4 metres tall and<br />
Asian 3.5 metres. The African can weigh between 4.000 – 7.500<br />
kilograms and Asian can weigh between 3.000 and 6.000<br />

WATER<br />
Water is very important for the Earth, our planet. People can’t live on<br />
the Earth without water.<br />
There are two kinds of water on Earth: salt water and fresh water.<br />
People can only drink fresh water. We can’t drink salt water.<br />
Fresh water can be a problem for people. We can only use about<br />
one per cent of fresh water. The other 99 per cent of fresh water is in<br />
difficult places to get to. About 70 per cent of the fresh water on<br />
Earth is in Antarctica, at the South Pole, in the ice and icebergs.<br />
Water has an amazing cycle. Rain falls, water goes into the rivers<br />
and most rivers go to the oceans. When it’s sunny the ocean water<br />
gets warm and it goes up into the sky again.<br />
People can’t waste water. In Europe and countries like the USA and<br />
Canada, a person can use about 500 litres of water every day. An<br />
African family can use only 20 litres every day.<br />
© Koalatext.com<br />
2
In some places people walk long distances to get water every day<br />
because they don’t have water at home. They get water from rivers<br />
or lakes and sometimes this water is dirty and people get sick. About<br />
85 per cent of diseases of the world are caused by drinking dirty<br />
water.<br />
Water is fantastic!<br />

HEALTHY HABITS<br />
Name: __________<br />
A healthy life is very important for people. There are some important<br />
things we can do to have a healthy life like good food habits, doing<br />
some exercise every day and sleeping well.<br />
Sometimes these good habits are difficult for people. We sometimes<br />
prefer eating unhealthy food, spending our free time watching<br />
television or staying in front of the computer for many hours. These<br />
bad habits can be dangerous for people.<br />
What can we do to have a healthy life?<br />
. Start the day with a good breakfast. Breakfast is the first meal of<br />
the day and it is very important to choose the right food. A healthy<br />
and nutritious breakfast is the most important meal of the day.<br />
. We can do some exercise every day. It isn’t necessary to go to the<br />
gym every day or spend a lot of time doing exercise. You can walk to<br />
school, ride your bike or play with your friends in the park to do<br />
some exercise.<br />
. Drink water every day. Water is the healthiest drink for people. It is<br />
better than soft drinks and other sugary drinks. Skimmed fat milk is<br />
also a good drink for children.<br />

. Eat fruit and vegetables every day. Fruit and vegetables help<br />
people to stay healthy and reduce the risk of diseases. Foods that<br />
are high in sugar or fats can cause obesity and other diseases.<br />
. Don’t spend a lot of time watching television, surfing Internet or<br />
playing computer games. We shouldn’t spend a long time in front of<br />
the screen. Sedentary life can be dangerous.<br />

CHRISTMAS<br />
Christmas is a very big celebration in lots of countries around<br />
the world. It is celebrated on December 25. Christmas is very<br />
important for Christians because it commemorates the birth of<br />
Jesus in Bethlehem.<br />
Christmas is only celebrated on the 25 th of December but<br />
children are on holiday for two weeks. They don't have to go to<br />
school.<br />
About one month before Christmas, streets, shops and houses<br />
are decorated with colourful Christmas lights and decorations.<br />
One of the most popular and famous symbols of Christmas is<br />
Santa Claus. He is also called “Santa” or “Father Christmas”.<br />
He is an old man. He is very fat, he has a long beard and he<br />
always wears a red suit. He is from Lapland, a region in<br />
Finland. He makes all the toys for children from all over the<br />
world. He lives with his best little friends, the elves. The elves<br />
help Santa to make toys.<br />
On the night of December 24, Christmas Eve, Santa travels<br />
through the sky on a sleigh. This sleigh is pulled by reindeers.<br />
Santa enters the houses through the chimney and leaves the<br />
presents under the tree or in a stocking.<br />

In some countries, Santa appears in streets and shopping<br />
centres some weeks before Christmas. Children want to sit on<br />
Santa's lap and give him their pìctures, postcards or wishes.<br />
Christmas is also an important time to visit the family. Most<br />
families celebrate together and sing Christmas carols, decorate<br />
the Christmas tree and exchange Christmas cards and<br />
presents. Also, food is very important at Christmas. Lots of<br />
families celebrate Christmas with big meals. Each country has<br />
