Giraffes eat ice – level 1

Giraffes eat ice

14-07-2021 07:00

It is very hot in Europe. Temperatures in North Macedonia are about 40 degrees Celsius.

Skopje is the capital of North Macedonia. A zoo is there. Caretakers at the zoo cool the animals. They cut vegetables. They mix it with water and freeze them. They give the ice blocks to giraffes.

Giraffes Casper and Floppy come to the zoo three years ago. They come from Africa. Hot weather is normal in Africa. Caretakers at the zoo still think that it is a good idea to cool the giraffes.

The temperatures fall a little last week. The weather forecast says that they will go up again next week.

Difficult words: caretaker (a person whose job is to look after animals or people), block (a large piece of a material), forecast (information about what will happen in the future).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
