READING

10. Read the review of Madagascar. Are the sentences true (T) or false (F)?

David Attenborough’s Madagascar

This is a three-part programme about Madagascar, one of the world’s oldest islands. David Attenborough first went to Madagascar 50 years ago and this DVD shows us how the country and the island’s animals have changed.

He shows some film from his many visits over the years. Some of the film is in black and white. Madagascar has mountains going from north to south and, because of the mountains, the island has a lot of different weather. The highest mountains are very high so plants and trees don’t grow on them.

On the east of the mountains there are forests and amazing rivers and there are interesting birds and animals. On the west of the mountains, the weather is very dry. It has very hot days and cold nights, and there are interesting plants, birds and animals here too.

Madagascar is a really special island in the Indian Ocean, and David Attenborough tells us how many of the plants and animals changed over 60 million years. He also tells us how he filmed in difficult parts of the island. This is the best nature programme I have ever watched!

1. The DVD is about Madagascar in the past and today.       [True, False]

2. The weather is the same all over the island.       [True, False]

3. There are forests on the east of the island.       [True, False]

4. The west side of the island is very cold in the day.       [True, False]

5. The writer doesn’t like the DVD.       [True, False]
