Never give up
Jane was not very interested in animals when she was a child. Then, one day, her father gave her a toy chimpanzee. From that day on, she became really interested in animals.
When she was a 16-year-old schoolgirl, Jane dreamt of a career studying wild animals in Africa.
Jane’s mother said, “If you really want something, work hard and never give up. Then you’ll find a way.”
Listen, read and understand.
Reading
Jane’s mother was right. When she was 26, Jane travelled from Britain to the mountains of East Africa. She studied chimpanzees. She watched the animals for a long time and they became her friends. Jane discovered that these animals greet one another with a kiss or a hug, and make and use tools —— just like humans do.
Jane Goodall is now well known all over the world. She made her dreams come true because she never gave up!
