1. Read the following text (and the words below it).
Elephants
Elephants are large mammals. They live in groups of 9 to
11 members to protect each other. People say that they are very
intelligent and they have a very good memory.
Elephants live in Africa or in Asia, but you can see them at
the zoo. They are plant eaters (herbivores). They eat grass, leaves
and fruits. They don't eat meat. They eat 15 or 16 hours every day.
When they sleep (only four or five hours), they stand. They cannot
jump, but they can sit down on their back legs, like dogs.
Elephants are heavy animals with a grey body and strong legs.
They have large ears and a very long nose. It is called a trunk.
An elephant has two long teeth. Its tail is short and thin.
Baby elephants are very nice. They stay by their mother's leg
for a long time.
