It&#8217;s cold! \u4e16\u754c\u5f88\u591a\u5730\u65b9\u8d8a\u4f86\u8d8a\u51b7\u4e86! So it&#8217;s time to stay warm<br>and sit by the fire! (SFX: fire crackling sounds) Many people are also<br>putting on thicker clothes to stay warm.<br>But what do animals do? They don&#8217;t have any clothes to put on. And they can&#8217;t<br>build a fire outdoors. \u7260\u5011\u6c92\u6709\u8863\u670d\u4e0d\u6703\u51b7\u55ce?<br>Don&#8217;t worry. \u4e0d\u7528\u64d4\u5fc3, animals get ready for cold weather very differently<br>than people do. And every animal is different.<br>(SFX: birds chirping)<br>For example, many birds begin to fly south when the weather gets colder,<br>because most places in the south are warmer. \u5929\u6c23\u8b8a\u51b7\u6709\u4e9b\u9ce5\u6703\u5f80\u5357\u98db, but<br>their trips can take a very long time, so they need to rest.<br>\u65c5\u9014\u5f88\u9060\u4ed6\u5011\u9700\u8981\u627e\u5730\u65b9\u4f11\u606f. Sometimes it takes months! \u6709\u6642\u5019\u597d\u5e7e\u500b\u6708! Can<br>you imagine traveling anywhere for that long?<br>(SFX: bear sniffing and growling)<br>Bears like to sleep during the winter. So before they do that they like to<br>eat \u2026 a lot. (SFX: bear chomping sounds) They eat and drink as much as they<br>can so they can get fatter. Getting nice and fat lets them stay warm in the<br>winter when they&#8217;re resting.<br>(SFX: outdoor sounds, sounds of insect wings vibrating)<br>What about insects? \u90a3\u87f2\u5462? Well, all insects are different. But insects like<br>ladybugs like to rest until the weather is warm again. So they also like to<br>eat a lot before it gets cold, this way they won&#8217;t be hungry when they are<br>resting all winter.<br>I&#8217;m glad I&#8217;m a person and not a wild animal. When I&#8217;m outside I can put on a<br>jacket, and when I&#8217;m inside I can just turn on the heat to stay warm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Vocabulary<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you put on a jacket when you left home this morning?<br>1) Put on\u7a7f\u4e0a\u3002It&#8217;s snowing!
