    2A The animal world

    1 Complete the pet descriptions with the words below. There are two words you do not need.
    beak ​claws ​fangs ​feathers ​fin ​fur ​horns ​
    paws ​scales ​shell ​tail ​whiskers ​wings
    1 My cat has got really soft, brown 1  . She’s got blue eyes and lots of long, white 2  .
    She has four 3 and lots of really sharp 4 !
    2 Sally has got a beautiful parrot. The 5 on its 6 are blue and yellow and its 7
    feathers are red. I love to watch it crack seeds with its 8  .
    3 Dragons aren’t real, but they sound scary! They have big wings, sharp 9 in their mouths, 10
    on their heads and 11 covering their bodies, just like fish.

    2 Choose the correct words.

    The world of animals is really fascinating, particularly when you learn about their senses. Did you know that
    squirrels use their noses to 1taste/sniff out food that they have buried under the ground? They can even
    2
    locate/vibrate nuts that are under a layer of snow!
    Did you know that bats use echolocation to 3emit/navigate in the dark? They 4hunt/emit sound waves from their
    nose or mouth and when the waves hit an object, the echo bounces back and returns to the bat’s ears.
    Did you know that a spider 5detects/sniffs vibrations from the strands on its web to 6navigate/hunt its prey?
    It uses the same technique to 7locate/emit holes in the web that need repairing!

    3 SPEAKING  Work in pairs. Choose an animal from A and as many words as you can from B. Describe your animal.
    Can your partner guess what it is?

    bat detect
    spider emit
    elephant hunt
    dog locate
    fish antenna
    arctic fox claws
    cow horns
    eagle fins
