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 />

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 />

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 />
