Understanding Habitats
Listen carefully to the following passage:
Today, we will learn about various habitats around the world. A habitat is the natural home of an organism.
First, we have the rainforest, which is known for its high rainfall and biodiversity. Many species of animals and plants can be found there. Next, we will describe the desert. Deserts are very dry and receive little rainfall, making it hard for many plants and animals to survive.
Then, there are oceans, which cover more than 70% of the Earth's surface. Oceans are home to a wide range of marine life, from tiny fish to large whales. Lastly, we have grasslands, known for their open spaces and grasses. They often have few trees and support many grazing animals.
