The Giraffe Katie Hepworth talks about her love of giraffes Giraffes are definitely my favourite creature in the aiimalkingdom. My earliest memory is of my mum reading me a story about a giraffe ‘and | was s0 in love with the idea that such a wonderful creature existed, | kept asking her to buy me one. | would have been amazed to know that in later life | would spend hours with them every day. | work in a SARSFIBAFR in the UK and I spend alot of my time taking care of the giraffes. Visitors to the park have their own favourites of course, with the monkeys being the ones most people like. But | ‘sometimes think the giraffes are the ones they'll never forget after their visit. Visitors always look amazed when they see the giraffes and watch with interest as they move around the park. I often give talks to visitors about the giraffe and it's true to say that some of the facts about them are surprising, It's hard to believe that despite their long necks, giraffes have the same number of bones in their neck as we do. And it upsets visitors a little when they hear that the animals use their long necks when fighting each other. So | avoid showing videos of this if children are present. Unlike creatures that have to compete with other animals for food and water at ground level, giraffes have the advantage of being able to reach to the top of trees for their food. In their natural environment, they are less likely to suffer from a lack of water compared to other animals. Their favourite tree, the aeaeia, is able to obtain a good amount of water through its foots, with the result that the giraffe can get its daily supply from the leaves. It's really sad to have to tell visitors that, like many of the other animals in the safari park, giraffes also are in danger of disappearing in the Wild, where they belong. Once they could be found in wide areas of Africa, but they are now only found in a limited number of places and in much smaller numbers. This is mainly due to people cutting down trees for farming as well as the burning of wood from trees for fuel.Reading ‘31 When Katie was a child ‘A her mum bought her a toy giraffe.

For each question, choose the correct answer. There are three extra sentences which you do not need to use. Memory palace Danny Stephens has some suggestions for improving your memory We have two sides to our brain, the right and the left side. The right side is often used when we're being creative. [MBN] When we want to do this, we tend to rely on the left side of the brain. If you want to improve your memory, one trick is to try bringing the right side of the brain into use. (_ J A memory palace can simply be a place you know well, such as your house or flat, the route to your local shops, your school or your college. Because you know this place so well, it’s easy to plan your journey through it knowing where everything is and what comes next. [HS] For example, let’s use a shopping list to see how it works. With your memory palace organised, you simply place one of the items from your shopping list in each place. Let’s imagine your memory palace is the walk to your nearest supermarket and the first thing on your shopping list is a pair of trainers. So, imagine a pair of trainers waiting at your front door, jumping up and down waiting to go out. It’s good to make the picture in your head funny to help you remember. The next stop is the gate to your house and the next item is a bunch of bananas. So, imagine a row of bananas hanging from your gate, each wearing a pair of sunglasses! And so on. As you follow the route to the supermarket, place one of the items at one of your easy-to-remember places on the journey. It might be hard to see how this can be used to remember some of the subjects you might be studying. [20] | For example, maybe you have to remember a list of dates, the steps necessary in making something or some historical events. Just remember to get that right side of your brain working to come up with scenes that are easy to remember, and put them in a familiar place.Reading Now imagine you have to remember something. However, some things can’t be remembered this way. But why not try? But what if it doesn’t work? Using your imagination like this will make it easy to remember. However, we don’t often use this side to help us remember things. On the other hand, the right side works in a different way. ‘One method of doing this is to create a memory palace.Test 2 READING Part 5 Questions 21-26 For each question, choose the correct answer. 2 22 23 2h 25 26 48 Teeth Baby teeth, also known as ‘milk’ teeth, start to grow before we are born and will usually (21).......... when we're about 6 to 12 months old, Most of us will have around 20 milk teeth, which will start to (22). ‘out when we're § or 6 years old.
