They spend a lot of time up in the trees but will come down to the ground to move to a new tree.  \nKoalas can run when they are on the ground. They can swim too but they don’t usually go into the water. Koalas eat leaves from some gum trees. The young leaves are the best for them to eat.  \nKoalas do not move very much and they spend most of the day asleep.  \n2  \nChoosing a classroom pet  \nThe students in Class 4F are talking about what kind of animal to get as a classroom pet.  \nPia: I think we should get a rabbit. They’re cute and cuddly and easy to look after.  \nAdrian: Lots of classrooms already have rabbits.  \nLet’s get something more exciting.  \nPia: Like what?  \nAdrian: I don’t know. Like a lizard.  \nKeri: I can get a blue-tongue lizard from my garden.  \nTom: Can we do that?  \nMr Finch: No. We would have to get a special permit to keep a blue-tongue lizard, or any native animal.  \nNadim: What about a cockatoo? We could teach it to talk.  \nTom: My dad says it’s cruel to keep birds in cages.  \nNadim: We’d feed it and play with it. We wouldn’t be cruel to it.  \nPia: He means it’s cruel when birds aren’t free and can’t fly around.  \nAdrian: Maybe it’s cruel to keep any animal in the classroom. We can look after it during the day but it will get lonely at night.  \nMr Finch: We’ll talk about this again tomorrow. Tonight, I’d like you to tell your parents what we’ve been talking about.  \n3  \nHow to play SPUD  \n\n| What you need | Setting up a playing area | Aim of the game |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| • five or more players\u003Cbr>• a soft rubber ball\u003Cbr>• a clear space outside | Choose trees, fences, footpaths or buildings to mark the edges of a playing area. | To be the last player in the game. (You are out as soon as you spell the word SPUD.) |\n\nRules of the game  \n1. Pick a player to start with the ball. The player with the ball is called It.  \n2. It stands in the middle of the playing area with the ball. All the other players gather around.  \n3. It tosses the ball into the air, and calls another player’s name. This player is now It and has to get the ball. Everyone else runs  \naway.  \n4. It yells‘SPUD!’as soon as It gets the ball. Everyone else has to freeze.  \n5. Then It takes three giant steps towards another player, and throws the ball at that player’s feet. The other player must not move, even if there’s a chance of being hitby the ball.  \n6. If It hits the other player, or if that player moves, then the player gets a letter (S first), and becomes It.  \nIf It misses, then It gets a letter and stays It.  \n7. The first letter for a player who is hit is S, the second letter is P, and so on. Any player  \nwho has spelled S-P-U-D is out. The winner is the last player in the game.  \n4  \nThe best teacher  \nOnce upon a time, there was a man with a fine house, healthy animals and fertile land. He was also blessed with a handsome, loving son. But the man was worried about his son, because the boy had grown up knowing only good times and good fortune.  \n“What will happen when something goes wrong for him?”wondered his father.“How will he know what to do?”  \nSo one day, the man asked the boy to go into the forest and collect wood. To help him carry the wood home, the man gave the boy an old cart and two horses. As he was leaving, the man said to his son,“If the cart breaks down while you are in the forest, don’t worry. Necessity will teach you what to do.”  \nThe boy collected as much wood as he could load onto the cart. But when he turned to come home, the cart broke under the weight of the wood.“I hope that Father’s friend lives nearby,” thought the boy, and he started crying out,“Necessity! NE-CESS-ITY! Where are you?” The boy called and called, but no one came, so he decided to fix the cart himself.  \nWhen he arrived home he said to his father,“You said Necessity would teach me to fix the cart, but I could","cbCaiqTJxCCE7Eto","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqTJxCCE7Eto","pdf",4622029,"English","# Choosing a classroom pet\n# How to play SPUD\n## What you need\n## Rules of the game\n# The best teacher\n# Young adventurer\n# Down by the river","[{\"question\":\"What are the main rules for playing SPUD?\",\"answer\":\"Players start by forming around the area while the It player holds the ball.
