【阅读导读】本文主要介绍了三位学生各自最喜欢的动物及其特点。
Amanda：My favourite animal is the chameleon. I like them because they can change colours. Lots of people think that chameleons change colours to match(匹配) where they are. But that’s not right! Chameleons change colours when they’re scared(害怕的) or unhappy, or when they’re too cold or too hot. Chameleons have very long tongues(舌头). They can use their tongues to get their food easily. I think they’re interesting animals!
Anna：I really love elephants because they are strong and clever. I love their large ears and long trunks. Elephants can pick up food and put it in their mouths with their trunks. I like watching elephants on TV and I love baby elephants best. They’re so lovely. But elephants are in great danger now. We must find out some ways to save them.
