Halloween at a Chicago Zoo – level 1

25-10-2017 15:00

Halloween is coming! Zookeepers at a zoo in Chicago treat their animals to something special. They give them pumpkins or jack-o’-lanterns.

Some animals eat the pumpkins. Some animals cannot eat the pumpkins. However, there is something good inside the jack-o’-lanterns for them.

Difficult words: zookeeper (a person who takes care of animals at a zoo), treat somebody to (give something special to somebody, something that he or she likes), jack-o’-lantern (a Halloween pumpkin).

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