altitudes of up to five Migration is when animals travel from one habitat to another. Migration is
and a half miles above seasonal, and depends on the animals’ needs for different habitats at different
sea level while flying times – whether for food and water, or for breeding or some other reason. Every
over the Himalayas year, the animals return to their original place. Many different species of animals
in India. migrate by land, sea or air, often crossing vast distances and in large groups.
In Tanzania, around one and a half
million wildebeest migrate annually in
huge herds. They are looking for much-
needed fresh grass and water, which
are hard to find during the dry season.
The wildebeest follow the rainfall, as in
this way they are guaranteed food and
can feed themselves and their young
offspring. Seeing these enormous herds
on the move is an incredible sight.
Some animals migrate because of the climate or seasons. Monarch butterflies cannot
survive freezing winter temperatures, so they fly up to 3,000 miles from Canada to
Mexico. These stunning butterflies huddle together to keep warm over winter. When
the days start getting longer again, they start their return journey, laying their eggs
along the route back. They use the sun to navigate their way back. On their return they
can take a well-earned rest and enjoy the long-anticipated warmer temperatures.

Finally, some animals migrate to find a mate or raise their young. There are

HINT
In a text there are often signs in the language that show whether something is a fact or a
personal opinion. Opinions are often expressed by using adjectives such as ‘it’s amazing’
and ‘the incredible journey’. Facts may be given as numbers, showing an exact amount of
something that can be counted and proved, for example, ‘over 1 million wildebeest travel
480 kilometres’.

1 What are the three reasons why animals migrate?

2 Give three facts each about the migration of:
a wildebeest
b monarch butterflies
c red crabs.
3 What is the writer’s opinion of:
a wildebeest and crabs’ journeys
b monarch butterflies
c the people living on Christmas Island?
4 Where is Christmas Island? Use the internet to help you find out.
5 How do migrating animals know where to go and at what time to migrate?

Challenge
Now research these animals and find out the distances they travel.

Vocabulary
1 Look at these words from the text. Use a dictionary. Copy the words into your
notebook and write the meanings. Also make sentences of your own using
these words.

habitat herds offspring hatch

vast ideal huddle instinctively
annually stunning navigate cue

2 What do these compound adjectives mean? What are they used to describe in
the texts?

kind-hearted hard-working well-earned

jaw-dropping long-anticipated
newly-hatched much-needed

Do you remember?
Demonstrative pronouns are this, that, these, those.

HINT
Remember there are demonstrative adjectives as well as demonstrative pronouns.
Demonstrative adjectives work with nouns but demonstrative pronouns don’t need a noun.
That animal is fast. (demonstrative adjective)
That is beautiful. (demonstrative pronoun)

Develop language skills

4 Copy these sentences into your notebook choosing only the correct pronoun.
Think about other migrating animals and write sentences of your own about
them, using demonstrative pronouns.
a This / These species of bird is pink, elegant and beautiful.
b This / These elegant butterflies are monarch butterflies.
c Salmon start life in rivers and then migrate to the ocean to feed. These /
Those lucky enough to survive return to the rivers once again.

Reading

How to see migratory animals

African elephants
Life can be tough for Mali’s African elephant population. It might be small
by comparison to other populations around the world, but there is still not
enough water for them, so they continually walk to find something to drink
and somewhere to cool themselves. It’s quite a sight to see herds of these
majestic animals following each other through the Saharan desert.
When to visit: Between February and May.
How to see the elephants: a number of local companies organise short trips
to see the elephants. There are hotels located along the route where you will
stay overnight. The companies are passionate about the wellbeing of the
elephants in Mali, and unlike some safari parks, the expert guides make sure
to stay at a respectful, and safe, distance. There are specially designed
underground viewing huts where you can see the animals right in front of you
without interfering with their truly natural habitat.

Green sea turtles

Every year, thousands of green sea turtles return to where they were born on a
remote Costa Rican beach to lay eggs and hatch young of their own. The turtles
come ashore at night to complete the strenuous job of digging nests in the
sand where they deposit their eggs, before going straight back to the sea. Each
female turtle lays about 110 eggs, which hatch after two months. When they
leave the nesting area, the turtles return to their favourite feeding places.

10

352698 Cambridge IGCSE English Second Language print.indd 10 13/08/2021 1:12 am

 Topic 2: Animal migrations

When to visit: June and July.

How to see the turtles: Green turtles
are an endangered species, so it is
important to join an organised tour.
Groups are limited to eight so as not to
disturb the turtles. There are no lights
allowed on the beach, so it is important
to stay close to your guide. There are
several eco-trips to choose from and all
include educational talks about turtle
conservation, and night patrols to see
the turtles digging nests. All profits
made from the trips are donated to
turtle conservation projects.

Whale sharks
Whale sharks look tough, at roughly 25 to 40 feet long and with their wide
mouths. In fact, though, they are completely harmless and feed only on
plankton. They are also not averse to people swimming right alongside them.
Large numbers of whale sharks get together to feed where the Gulf of
Mexico meets the Caribbean Sea every summer.

When: May to September.

How to visit: our operators run daily boat trips out into the ocean to see the
whale sharks up close.

HINT
Texts are written for different purposes. Texts above include several purposes, for
example, to give facts, advice, recommendations and to express feelings.

2 Answer these questions to explore how the writer expresses the different
purposes.
a What is the writer’s attitude towards elephants?
b How does the text suggest responsible ways to view elephants?
c What advice is given when visiting the green turtles?
d How does the writer describe the true character of whale sharks?

Vocabulary
1 Read the texts again and find these words. Look in a dictionary to find out
their meanings. Write the meanings of the words in your notebook.

majestic interfering strenuous conservation

respectful remote deposit averse

2 Work with a partner. Try using each word in a sentence of your own.

Do you remember?
The ‘gh’ in ‘ough’ words can sound like ‘f’ in English, such as rough.
‘gh’ is silent in words like though and through.

3 Look at these words in the text. Can you pronounce these words? Practise
with a partner.

tough though roughly enough through

Challenge
Do some research, and choose a migrating bird, animal or insect not covered in this topic.
Make a few notes, look for pictures on the internet and then give a presentation about this
creature’s migration to your class.

Writing
1 Work in groups of three or four. Find two migrating animals (from this topic
or from other sources). Discuss the animals using the following questions to
guide you.
– Which animal do you prefer? Why?
– How would you describe the animal?
– What is being done to protect migrating animals?
– Do you think more research should be done to understand migration? Give a
reason for your opinion.
2 Now work alone. Write a paragraph describing one of the migrating animals.
Try to include some of the language features used in this topic, for example,
to express facts and opinions, use some of the key vocabulary, compact
adjectives and demonstrative pronouns.

can listen to the audio twice.
1 What is the attitude of people living in Jakarta towards car free days?
2 How are car owners discouraged from using their cars in city centres? Make a list of
ideas.
3 What does the speaker think is the best solution to this problem?
4 How does the speaker feel about closing the main roads in a city centre once per year?
a Fully supports the idea
b Doesn’t think the measure goes far enough
c Thinks that it is a ridiculous idea.
