Test A
BIG CAT LIVE
Big Cat Live is a popular TV programme. It follows
the adventures of ‘big cats’ and tells you their
stories. The presenters travel in Africa with the
photographers and film lions and other animals.
They give the animals names and the viewers can
soon see the animals’ personalities. The viewers
feel that they know the animals and become
interested in them. Often the animals are in
dangerous situations and the programmes are
very exciting. The programmes are on TV every
day and many people watch all of them! One of
the most popular animals is a powerful lion called
Red. She often protects the young lions.
Lions can make a very loud noise. You can hear
them far away – they are the loudest of all the big
cats. Lions eat meat and have to kill other animals.
Their eyes are much more sensitive than humans’
eyes. They can see well in the dark and often hunt
at night. Sometimes it’s sad when they kill other
animals, but this is our natural world.
