About this listen

Peter’s father liked to look for birds. Every time he saw one he had not seen before, he liked to check it with his binoculars, take a photo, and write down its name in his bird book.

One day, Peter’s father showed him a picture of a big black bird with a yellow tail, and said, “This is a yellow-tailed black cockatoo; I have not seen one before in the wild, but I hear there is a pair down by the lake. How would you like to come with me today to look for the yellow-tailed black cockatoo?”

Tomorrow is Friday—it is School Sports Afternoon.

Peter is looking forward to it because he is good at sports.

He especially likes running and jumping.

Last year, in his eight-year-old age group, he won the 70-meter race, the long jump, and the scissors high jump.

Peter was so excited on Friday morning because he expected to be a winner again. He announced to his parents and friends, “I hope you will all watch me win the three events again this year!
