Lesson 4. Alex's Concern About His Homeland
Hi, my name is Alex. I come from Brazil. My favorite foods are bananas, grapes, carrots, and the like. I have long arms, and I like swinging in the trees. Can you guess what I am? Yes, I'm a monkey.
I live in a rainforest, and so do lots of my friends. In fact, over half of the world's millions of species of plants and animals live in the rainforest. Just like you, I love my home and will do whatever I can to protect it. Lately, though, I've been very worried because people have been burning and cutting down the trees in my rainforest. So, today, I'm going to talk about the rainforest, my homeland, and I expect you to help protect it. |
