Dos tristes tigres

Since the first Panda Census carried out by the Chinese government Forestry Administration between 1974 and 1977, wild Panda populations have rebounded, even though they are not up to their original levels yet.
While there were around 1,100 pandas in the wild in the late 1980s, that number had increased to more than 1,800 by 2014. Since the turn of the millennium, captive pandas are also counted in the census. Their numbers increased from 164 in 2003 to 376 in 2014. All captive pandas in the world and their offspring are considered “on loan” from China. Since China is the only country where Pandas occur in the wild, the country has been capitalizing on the widely adored animal, using loans strategically in a pattern that has been referred to as “Panda diplomacy”.
With Pandas in the wild and in captivity, large-scale conservation and breeding programs are underway. A new Panda reserve three times the size of U.S. National Park Yellowstone is currently in the planning stages in China. Panda Censuses start every ten to 15 years and also last four to five years, so the next one can be expected to end between 2025 and 2030.

Today, I want to talk about something really important – taking care of our planet.
Our Earth is like our home, and right now, it needs our help.

There are problems like climate change, pollution, and deforestation.
Human activities produce greenhouse gases, and so our planet gets warmer and warmer and more and more polluted.

If we don’t stop polluting, if we keep cutting down trees and destroying our planet then global warming will continue and the polar ice caps will melt and so the sea levels will rise. If we don’t act now, coral reefs will no longer exist and we will face the extinction of a lot of endangered species.
But we can make a difference !
We can start by doing small things every day. You know, like using less plastic, turning off lights when we don't need them, and planting trees. We can also save water, for example by taking a quick shower instead of a bath. These little actions add up and help our planet.
We all know we should use more renewable energy, like the sun and the wind, instead of fossil fuels.
We should reduce carbon dioxide emissions, for example, we could eat less meat and buy local food or grow our own vegetables. We could also walk or cycle to school instead of taking the bus.

Remember, every action makes a big difference.
Let's take a pledge for our planet !

The elephant is the largest land animal on Earth. It is a grey-skinned mammal with tusks, and a very long nose, called a trunk.
There are two species of elephants: the Asian elephant, and the African elephant. The African is larger than the Asian. It has big ears, and really long tusks. This species lives in the African savannah. It eats grass, fruit, leaves, roots and bulbs.
The Asian elephant is an endangered species.

Hi, how are you ? I'm fine, I'm going to talk about lunches.
I never eat the school dinners. I always take a packed lunch to school and my mother usually makes it for me. In my packed lunch, there is always a bottle of water or some soda. There is also a sandwich, a packet of crisps, some fruit and a chocolate bar. I don't like ham or cheese but I love bananas, apples and peaches.

From ............ (give a name) in ................. (give a place)
Here in England, we can eat at the school canteen or we can bring our own lunch box. I always take my lunch to school in a lunch box. Mom always makes it for me. There's usually a sandwich : sometimes i take ham, sometimes I take tuna or sometimes I take cheese and ham. There's a yoghurt and some vegetables like some carrot sticks or cucumber. There are some chocolate biscuits.
What about you ? do you bring your own packed lunch at school in France ?

I like my colored pencils.

I don't like toast with jam.

I want a hamburger and a can of soda.

I don't want to eat fruit for breakfast.
