READING TASK Read the text on Pages 3 and 4 and then answer these questions: 1) According to the text, roughly how

many giant pandas currently live in the wild?

2) What do pandas spend the majority of their time doing?

3) Write these facts in order of when they happen in a panda cub’s life: A cub eats bamboo for the first time.

A cub leaves its mother. A cub develops black spots. A cub weighs 31-36kg. A cub weighs the same as an apple. 4) Look at ‘Why are people concerned about the giant panda’: Find and copy one word which shows there are lots of things we do not yet know about the pandas.
