4 Komodo dragons
During the First World War (1914–18) a pilot crashed into 
the sea near Indonesia. Luckily, he could swim well. He 
reached one of the smaller islands. He was safe! Or was 
he? On the island, he discovered a horrible monster. It 
looked like a dragon: it was very big with short legs and 
a long tongue. It attacked and killed large animals for food. 
The pilot survived and later he described the monster to his 
friends. They laughed at him! But in fact, the animal was 
real: it was a Komodo dragon, the largest lizard in the world.
In 1927, London Zoo opened its new Reptile House and it 
included the first pair of Komodo dragons in Europe.

This photo shows a woman in a beautiful place in the 
countryside. I think it’s sunrise. The woman is sitting on the 
ground – she’s facing the sun. She’s in the foreground. In 
the distance, I can see mountains and clouds. On the right 
of the photo, there are trees. On the left, I can see grass, I 
think. And at the top of the photo is the sun. It’s very bright! 
It looks like a warm and sunny morning.
3.15 Lesson 6G, Exercise 6
In this photo, we can see some men and women on 
a camping holiday. On the left, a woman is standing next to 
a car. In the centre, there’s a yellow tent. a woman with 
long hair is walking past the tent. On the right, a man is 
sitting on a rock. He’s facing the car. In the distance, there 
are mountains. It’s a sunny day. On the right, we can see 
trees. It’s a beautiful place for camping, in my opinion.

Stephen What do you think of the new tram system?
Myra
It’s good! I lived in a city with trams when I was 
a child. I always really liked travelling on them. 
And the traffic here is better now.

Stephen Really? I’m not so sure. I mean, buses and cars 
can move around things in the road, but trams 
have to travel on tracks, you know, like a train, in 
more or less straight lines. They can’t suddenly 
turn left or right. Yesterday I was on a tram and it 
just stopped for five minutes because there was 
something in front of it. So slow!
Myra
Hmm, maybe, but there are so many other good 
things about trams, like they’re cleaner than 
buses and cars. We need clean transport here! 
The air is so dirty!
Stephen Yes, but bikes are the cleanest form of transport! 
More people should ride bikes. And talking of 
bikes, trams are actually dangerous for bikes.
