                 Reading

              1 1  Read about Ricky’s holiday on safari and answer the
                 questions below.




                                       On  the  last  day  of  our  trip,
                                       we were really lucky. We saw
                                       some  cheetahs,  a  mother  with her  three  cubs.
                                       They usually have three or four babies.

                                       We  looked  at  them  through  binoculars  because
                                       we  didn’t  want  to  disturb  them.  The  females
                    usually  live alone  or  with their  cubs  but the  males  live in small
                    groups  with  their  brothers.  Cheetahs  are  like  leopards  but  are
                    slimmer  and  faster.  A  cheetah  can  run  up  to  120  kilometres  an
                    hour but only for short distances.

                    We also saw a lot of giraffes. The adults can be five or six metres
                    tall and even a new-born baby (a calf) is about one metre eighty – that’s
                    almost as tall as my dad! Giraffes live longer than a lot of animals – as long
                    as twenty-five years!

                    I’ve got lots of photos on my phone. Come and see me after class if you
                    want to see more!
