TEACHER¡¯S PAPER

You are listening to a radio programme about London parks.

London has more parks and green open spaces than most other large cities. So when you¡¯ve

finished sightseeing, take a walk in one of the top three parks: Hyde Park, Richmond Park and

Regent¡¯s Park. You¡¯ll be surprised how many things you can do. There are also plenty of animals to

see and all of the parks are free of charge.

Hyde Park is the most famous park. People go sunbathing and organise picnics in summer or go

jogging in winter. It is also a very good place to see squirrels in the trees and people riding horses.

Most of the squirrels are very friendly as many tourists feed them and take pictures with them. In

the middle of the park, there is a huge lake called the Serpentine Lake. There you can find many

ducks and other wild birds.

Richmond Park has lots of wild animals, including large numbers of red deer. There are now 630 of

them which run freely in the park. There are over 144 types of birds that live in the old strong trees

around the park. There are also many rabbits, snakes, frogs and many insects like the famous rare

beetles. Nine different types of bats fly around during the night at Richmond Park.

In Regent¡¯s Park there is London Zoo, one of the oldest zoos in the world. This is the only park

where visitors have to buy a ticket to get inside. Adults usually pay ?24 and children pay ?18.

Young children up to 3 years get inside for free. Once inside the zoo, visitors can see lions, tigers,

bears, hippos, monkeys, giraffes and many other species. One of the most famous animals in the

zoo is the penguin. Penguins live in a large pool with beautiful underwater views. People can see

them swim. They are fed twice a day and people can see penguins diving for their food. The Zoo

works hard to save and protect wildlife in danger on our planet.
