Lição 6

Listen and read

Marta is helping Zeca to review a Science lesson. Does he know his lesson well?

Marta: What lesson are we going to review today?

Zeca: A Science lesson about penguins. Here…page34

Marta: OK. Let’s start then. What’s a penguin? Is it a mammal or a bird?

Zeca: It’s a bird. It’s a bird that hás wings but can’t fly

Marta: Right. And do you know why penguins can’t fly

Zeca: Uh... because they’re very big birds that have very small wing, I guess

Marta: Good guess. How do they move, then?

Zeca: They can walk on ice and swim in the sea. Oh, and they can slide too, on their bellies.

Marta: Yes, that’s right. Do you know if penguins lay eggs?

Zeca: Yes. They are birds, so they lay eggs

Marta: Good. Can you tell me where they make nests?

Zeca: Uh... I don’t know. Where?

Marta: Actually, penguins are birds that don’t make nests. They keep their eggs warm on their eggs warm on their feet and with their feathers.

Zeca: Oh, yes. I remember now. It’s this picture.

Marta: Right. Well done, Zeca! You really know your lesson.

Zeca: Thanks. I love Science
