Observe these two texts about reptiles.

questions that follow.

Listen to your teacher again. Try to

answer the questions in Task 1. Your answer will

help you describe reptiles.

Listen to your teacher reading

aloud a text about reptiles. Answer

the questions briefly.

Bahasa Inggris

What is a reptile?

The word

reptile

means that which crawls. A reptile is an animal

that crawls, though some prefer to swim. Reptiles usually have

scales on their bodies, like fish, but they breathe through lungs

as people do. Reptiles are cold-blooded. This means that the

temperature of their blood changes when the air temperature

changes. Snakes, turtles, and lizards are all reptiles. So were the

ancient dinosaurs.

(Taken from Charlie Brown’s Cyclopedia. Volume 2. 1990.

Animals through the Ages: From Alligators to Zebras)

Huge reptiles called Dinosaurs lived on earth about 180

illion years ago. They flourished and ruled the earth for more

than 120,000,000 years. But today we can’t see even a single one

of them because all of them died out about 60 million

years ago.

y such strong and flourishing creatures should suddenly

disappear completely is a question that still puzzles the scientists

today. The most probable explanation is the climate of the earth

changed too much about 60 million years ago for the dinosaurs to

continue living.

e huge sized reptiles called Dinosaurs existed in a great

variety of sizes. Most were 25 to 30 feet long and weighed from

five to ten tons. Some were much smaller, and a few early varieties

were as small as chicken!

(Adapted from All Colour Treasury of Children’s

Knowledge by Jayant Gupta. 1993)

Bahasa Inggris

Zebras are equids, a family of

mmals and members of the horse

family, native to Africa. The word

“zebra” comes from the Portuguese

zevra, which means “wild ass.” One

can certainly see how the zebra

might have been mistaken for the

wild ass at first glance, since the

animals have similar body types.

Zebras are probably most famous for their distinctive striped coats,

which make them quite memorable animals.

In a

ddition to being found in parts of Africa, zebras are also

held in captivity in zoos and conservation parks in many parts of the

world, for people who want to see these animals in person without

taking a safari trip. Several attempts have been made to domesticate

Task 3:

Read and Skim.

Read and skim each paragraph in the reading text about

zebras below. After you skim each paragraph, write the

number of the paragraph next to the question it answers.

1. ______________ What do zebras look like?

2. ______________ How many species of zebras are there?

3. _______________ What are zebras?

4. ____________ What are the functions of the stripes

of zebras?

5. _______________ Where do zebras live?

6. _______________ What do zebras eat?

Kelas XII SMA/MA/SMK/MAK

the zebra, with some animals being trained as riding or driving

animals. However, zebras appear to be too unpredictable and

flighty to fully domesticate, despite the best efforts of intrepid riders.

Instead, some people breed zebra hybrids, crossing full blooded

zebras with horses and other equids to produce more easily trained

and handled animals which retain the characteristic zebra stripes.

ere are several different species of zebra, but all of them

are in the same genus,

Equus

, which they share with horses. Like

other equids, zebras are odd-toed ungulates with muscular bodies

which are built for running. Zebras were among the earliest animals

to split from the original equids, along with asses, and as a result,

they have had an extended period of time to adapt to the unique

challenges of the

African landscape.

ese animals have very stout, muscular bodies which are

designed for immense speed and strength. When threatened, a

zebra can choose to run, often choosing a zig-zagging pattern to

distract the predator, or they can fight, using powerful jaws and

heavy hooves to attack their enemies. Like asses, zebras have

tufted tails, and they also have short, upright manes of coarse hair,

along with unusually large ears which give these animals a very

good sense of hearing.

bras are herbivores, eating grass, foliage, and various

shrubs. Depending on the species, a zebra may be adapted more

for the open plain, or for more heavily wooded and mountainous

areas. In all cases, zebras are very social animals, living in large

herds which are typically overseen by a single stallion. A zebra's

gestation period is 13 months, typically producing a single foal

which may join the herd when it reaches adulthood, or strike out

on its own to find another group of zebras.

e stripes of the zebra appear to have several functions. For

one thing, they distract and confuse predators, especially when

Bahasa Inggris

zebras are in a herd formation, because the stripes make it hard to

pick out an individual zebra. The stripes also appear to be unique

to each animal, allowing zebras to readily identify each other, and

they help to camouflage individual zebras, especially in wooded

areas, where the play of light and shadow allows the zebra

to blend.

ere is some debate as to how to describe the zebra's

stripes. They are typically described as white animals with black

stripes, but zebras actually have entirely black skin. The most

common zebra mutations create animals which are darker, rather

than lighter. This proves that the zebra is actually black with white

stripes. While this might seem a bit pedantic, it can make a good

jumping-off point for ed debates at parties, if one feels so inclined.

paragraph of the factual report gives us a

classification

containing

some general information about zebras. All the paragraphs that

follow the first paragraph contain

some description

about zebras;

they contain some detailed features. The paragraphs in the text

seem to respond to a series of questions about zebras: the what,

why, how, etc.
