4) Read the paragraph about platypuses and choose a suitable word:
Platypuses are very special animals. They are mammals/birds, so they are cold/warm blooded, they have
feathers/fur that covers their body, they have got four legs/eyes and they have lungs to breathe air, but
they lay babies/eggs. Yes, just like birds!! And they also have got a beak/fins and webbed feet like a
spider/duck. Another strange fact about platypuses is that they have got a big flat wings/tail, just like a
beaver. I think that they are great, but there are/aren’t any platypuses in Argentina. They live/lives in
Australia, near rivers because they can/can’t swim very well. Platypuses are carnivores/herbivores, they
eat worms and insects, shrimps and small fish.
A famous platypus is Perry or Agent P. He is a cartoon character. He am/is Phineas and Ferb’s pet. But he
has/have a secret life, he is an agent that fights against evil Dr. Donald/Doofenshmirtz. He likes
practicing/practices karate and judo. He eat/eats pet food and can drive, fly planes and use guns! I think
he is really cool. What do you think about Perry?
