The zoo The zoo is a beautiful place. It’s clean and peaceful, and people always obey the zoo rules. They never drop rubbish. At the eastern end of the zoo there are six special animals. They are: a deer, bird, monkey, kangaroo, antelope, and a crocodile. These six animals come from different countries: Indonesia, Australia, China, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Laos. 50

These animals eat at different times of the day: at nine o’clock in Unit 4 the morning, at half past ten in the morning, at midday, at three o’clock in the afternoon, at six o’clock in the evening, and at midnight. ສ.ວ.ສສະຫງວນລິຂະສິດ The animals are in cage numbers 1–6. But we don’t know which animal is in which cage. 5. Listen and say The zoo is going to get a new animal soon a panda. Listen to the conversation between the zoo keepers about what will happen when the panda comes to the zoo. A: Is the new cage ready for the panda? B: No, not yet. The cage will be finished next week if it doesn’t rain. A: Oh! good. The panda’s going to arrive in about a month. Pandas eat a special kind of bamboo. What plans have we made for feeding the panda? B: We are growing some bamboo. If the panda arrives soon, there won’t be enough. We will also have to buy some bamboo from China. A: That will be very expensive. B: Yes, but if we have a panda, more people will visit the zoo. Maybe we should increase the ticket price. A: If we do that, fewer people will come to the zoo. Anyway, I’ve got to go now. If I don’t hurry, the lions will be very unhappy. It’s their dinner time. 6. Read and write Read and write all the conditional sentences from Exercise 5.
