Do you know that when an elephant grows, everything grows on it except its eyes?

Safari parks

A safari park is like a large zoo, where the animals live in natural conditions (естественные условия). There are several safari parks in Britain and they are very popular places for visit. One of the most famous is at Windsor, which is close to London airport.

You can visit some parts of the safari park on foot. Here you can see the animals that are not dangerous: giraffes, zebras, camels and antelopes. The animals walk around as if they were in Africa.

Safari parks also have lions, tigers, leopards and other dangerous animals. They cannot live with the other animals, because they would eat them. They would also eat the visitors, so they have to drive through the parts where these animals live. You must not open your windows and you must not get out of the car. It is not a good idea to take a new car into this part of the park, because the monkeys climb on the cars. They can break or spoil (испортить) them. Safari parks are much better than zoos, because the animals do not have to live in small cages.

1. Where do animals live in natural conditions.

1. In parks
2. in safari parks

3. because lions, tigers, leopards can eat all food of other animals.
4. because there is no place for so many animals

4. Why must you close your windows and sit in the car in some parts of the safari park?

1. because the weather is often cold there.
2. because you can scare (напугать) animals.
3. because it’s dangerous to drive through the parts where lions, tigers and leopards live.
4. because it’s comfortable.

5) Why is it not a good idea to take a new car into safari parks?

My winter holidays

My winter holidays began at the end of December and finished on the tenth of January. At the end of the term we had a New Year party at school. We decorated the hall and painted a wall newspaper.  Everybody enjoyed the party. We danced, played games, talked and ate many tasty things.

Then on the New Year’s Eve we had a family party at home. It is a good tradition to see the New Year in with my relatives and friends at 12 o’clock. We wished each other a happy New Year, and then we watched the New Year concert on TV. I got a lot of presents.  My parents gave me a puppy and my granny gave me a pair of new roller-skates. I was happy.

During my holidays I had a lot of free time. It was not necessary to get up early. The weather was fine and I spent a lot of time outdoors. I played snowballs with my friends in the yard, skied in the park and went to the skating-rink to skate. Usually there were a lot of teenagers.

When the weather was cold I stayed at home, read books and watched TV. I helped my mum about the house. I washed up, cleaned the flat and tried to cook. Sometimes I went shopping. I enjoyed my winter holidays very much.
