Hello, hello, sunshine, and welcome into IELTS Speaking Part 2. Describe a story or a book with animals in it.
You should say what animals are in it, what the story book is about, why you read this story or book,
and explain what you think of this story or book.
I know, dear listener, this is a new topic.
Describe a story or a book with animals in it.
Animals like crocodiles, zebras, cats, any animals.
Rory, give us your story.
Well, there are lots of books like this in my country,
but the one that stands out for me the most right now is The Animals of Farthing Wood,
which I think was written in the early 1990s.
Speaking about the various species in it, they're just common woodland ones that you might find all over the UK.
There are foxes and badgers and rabbits and mice.
I even think they had an adder in it, which is a kind of venomous snake.
It might even be the only one we have in our country.
If we consider what the whole thing is about, it tells the story of this group of animals
whose home is being poisoned and destroyed by a development company.
And in order to avoid being wiped out, they enter into an agreement to work together and flee the area,
which is called Farthing Wood, and try to find shelter in this animal reservation called White Deer Park.
