Extended Reading
Activity 3
The relationship between humans, animals and plants.
Human, animals and plants are created to have a good relationship with each other to make a better and beautiful life. Without animals and plants, humans cannot eat anything and probably we cannot live anymore. Without humans, some animals and plants also cannot live for long time because no one takes care of them.
Therefore, we humans must protect animals and plants to grow up with us together. Currently, many animals are extinct because there are many reasons that make them live in short life such as being killed for people's collections or by stronger animals, pollution, natural disasters, the changes of weather. Therefore, many people are doing more work to help, take care, protect and prevent animals from being extinct.

Meaning
Activity 4
Look at the pictures and complete the idioms with animal names.
English idioms are a way of adding colour to the language. For example, instead of saying “It’s raining heavily”, you could say “1. _____________________”. Another reason to use idioms is that they are concise. For example, to describe someone who is always working or busy doing something, we can say they are 2. ________________ . If they’re rushing into something and should wait and be patient, you could say “3. ______________ ”. Learning idioms can be fun, especially when we compare them to Chinese equivalents. Take, for example, “4. _________________________________” (people do what they want and have fun when someone in authority is absent) and “5. ________________________ ” (solve two problems with one action) – are there corresponding idioms in Chinese
It’s raining cats and dogs
as busy as a bee
hold your horses
When the cat’s away, the mice will play.
