I.          Learning Material

1.      Monologue text  (descriptive)

One of the most interesting  animals in the zoo is the giraffe. This is the giraffe we saw at the zoo. It is male and it is about six meters tall

The giraffe has brown eyes. They are protected by very thick lashes. This giraffe has brown spots on the skin. This coloring  helps protect the giraffe. It also has two short horns on its head.

Like a camel, it can go for along time without drinking water. One source of water is the leaves which it eats from trees. It is tall, so the giraffe can reach the tender leaves at the top of a tree.

The giraffe has two methods of self protection. If something frightens an adult giraffe, it can gallop away at about fifty kilometres per hour or stay to fight with its strong legs.
