中学生の基礎英語　レベル２ Lesson 065 Wrap-up Friday

Kota: Everyone knows kangaroos. And koalas are very popular in Japan. And I saw a TV program about a cute Australian animal. It looks like a big mouse with a funny face…

Angie: Quokkas?

Kota: Yeah!

Angie: There are lots of unusual animals only in Australia.

Kota: I hope to see some Australian animals.

Angie: Why don’t we go to a wildlife park? You can see lots of local animals there.

Kota: Sounds great!

Kota: My plan is to see all of them.

Michelle: Haha, we can try!

Kota: I don’t see any cages.

Michelle: Most of the animals can move around freely. It’s not like a normal zoo.

Angie: That’s good for the animals. They look comfortable.

Kota: Oh, look! Are those kangaroos?

Angie: Actually, those are wallabies. They are like small kangaroos.

Kota: Interesting!

Guide: Yes. In fact, koalas sleep about 20 hours a day.

Angie: Like you, Kota!

Kota: You, too, Angie!

Guide: Koalas live in trees, but the number of trees is decreasing. This is because of fires and tree-clearing. The number of koalas is also going down. It’s very important to protect their homes.

Kota: What can we do?

Guide: Young people can do many things to help them.

Kota: Yeah, they are! Can I hold one?

Guide: Unfortunately, you can’t hold the koalas in Sydney. It’s stressful for them. It’s important for us to give them a peaceful life.

Kota: I see.

Guide: But you can pet one. Go ahead. This one is Katy.

Kota: Wow, her fur looks soft, but it feels rough.

Guide: I can take a picture of you with the koala.

Michelle: Thanks. Here’s my camera.

Guide: Say, “Cheese.”

All (except Guide): Cheese!
