Paragraphs/Article for Listening

Paragraph A

Sloths are the slowest-moving mammals on earth. It takes a full minute for a sloth to move 6 feet
across the ground. You maybe couldn’t move that slowly if you tried! The sloth’s body is about 2 feet
long. It has long legs, and curved claws that are 3 to 4 inches long. Their claws and their long legs
help them climb trees and hang from tree branches. They spend almost their entire lives hanging
from tree branches. I think because they cannot move fast. The life of a sloth is not very exciting.
Some people think the original color of sloths are green. That’s because small plants grow on the
sloth’s fur.
Paragraph C

Do you believe that extinction is forever? Let us do something to avoid similar

findings. The Philippine eagle’s population is being drastically reduced. Every year, these
birds are being haunted for what? For decoration and for food. The eggs are also edible.
The laws that protect eagles can either be inadequate or without proper enforcement.

Paragraph D

Julio and his father had been looking forward to their fishing trip for weeks. They
didn't take much food with them on the trip. When they started fishing they were quickly
approached by a forest ranger. He asked Julio's father if he had a fishing license. Julio's
father reached into his wallet and suddenly got a terrified look on his face. Julio was
disappointed that night as he ate dinner.
