Nature: Animals Around Us

🎯 What You'll Learn

You will learn the English words for animals you might see in Nigeria.

🌟 Let's Start

Amina has a pet goat at home. Her neighbour has chickens that lay eggs every morning. At the river, she sometimes sees big lizards! Animals are all around us. Let us learn their names in English.

📚 New Concept

Animal words:

• Goat — it gives milk and says "maa maa"
• Chicken — a bird that lays eggs
• Dog — a pet that barks and guards the house
• Cat — a pet that catches mice
• Cow — a large animal that gives milk
• Fish — it lives in water and swims
• Bird — it has wings and can fly
• Lizard — a small animal with four legs and a long tail

Using animal words in sentences:

• "The goat eats grass in the yard."
• "I saw a bird flying over the tree."
• "The dog barks when a stranger comes."
