Favorite Animals
Mia
I love dolphins. They are very intelligent and friendly animals. I once went on a boat trip and saw them swimming and jumping in the water. Dolphins communicate with each other using sounds and gestures. They are amazing creatures, and I hope to see them again someday.

Elephants are my favorite animals. They are very large and strong, but also gentle. I like how they live in families and take care of each other. Elephants use their trunks for many things, like eating, drinking, and picking up objects. I would love to see an elephant in real life.

I think pandas are adorable. They have black and white fur and love eating bamboo. Pandas are very playful and often roll around and climb trees. They are also very rare, and I hope they can be protected so that more people can enjoy seeing them.

My favorite animals are dogs. They are very loyal and make great pets. I have a dog named Max, and he is my best friend. We go for walks, play fetch, and he always cheers me up when I'm sad. Dogs are wonderful companions, and I can't imagine life without Max.

Reading — The Beatles
Choose A–D.
In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world. Since then, there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is perhaps difficult now to imagine how sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys from the north of England and none of them had any training in music. They started by performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had some success with these songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they became really popular. The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great success from songs they had written themselves. After that it became common for groups and singers to write their own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970. They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too dangerous for them – their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as souvenirs! However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when they first came out. Throughout the world many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you ask them.
