READING EXERCISE:

Susan Marks has got a very important job. She is a zoo keeper. She works at a zoo in Texas.
There are over 3,500 animals to look after so she works as part of a big team! Susan gets up at
6:00 am and starts work an hour later. Her first task in the morning is to check that the animals
are happy and healthy. Her next job is to clean where the animals sleep and give them fresh
water. After this, she feeds the animals! The rhinos eat lots of carrots and apples and special
biscuits that give them the vitamins they need.
Susan's favourite part of the day is when she gets to play with the animals. Right now she is
helping to train a female tiger. Spending time with the tiger helps Susan gain her trust. It's hard
work but the tiger is making progress.
At 5:00 pm when the zoo closes, Susan finishes work but her walk on the wild side starts all over again the next day!
