READING
Hi Lucia,
Thanks for your email. It was good to hear how you are and what you’re doing.
I love reading too, but I don’t know your favourite writer’s books.
1
At the moment, I’m reading a book called
Fast Changing World
. It’s not mine; it
belongs to my brother.
2
I don’t understand everything in the book; it’s for
older students, but it’s very interesting. It’s about what’s happening to our planet
and how we’re losing lots of wild animals and plants because we don’t look after
our forests, lakes, rivers and seas.
I’m learning so much. The book’s giving me some ideas about how I can help
stop some of the bad changes happening.
3
When these things get into
the sea, they’re a big problem for fish and sea animals. I talk to my school friends
about this, and they want to help too. So one afternoon next week, we’re going
to spend an afternoon cleaning the beach near my house.
I’d like to study the same subject as my brother, animal sciences
,
when I go to
university
.
4
What do you think, Lucia? I know you’re interested in them,
but would you like to study animal sciences at university?
Write soon.
Love,
Violetta

Black bears live in the forests and
mountains of Canada, the USA and Mexico.
They usually eat grass and insects, but
they eat other things too, including fish,
small animals and the food people leave
at campsites.
Adults are very big and they weigh between
90 kg and 270 kg. They are tall too: when
males stand up on two legs, they are about
180 centimetres tall.
In winter, females have two or three babies,
called cubs. They stay with their mother
for about two years. Scientists think there
are around 600,000 of these animals in the
wild in North America, but there may be
many more.
