I am learning to put in the correct words for level 4

The largest of all flying creatures is the albatross, which can have a wing span of 3.5 metres.

The bill of this huge seagull is long and powerful.

The albatross's territory (1) is the southern oceans of the place (2) where it

may sometimes travel great distance(3). One albatross, found near the Chilean

oceans (4), had a special identification tag fastened on(5) its neck which

had been put up(6) in New Zealand only 12 days earlier. For (7) that

brief time the bird had flown  (8) 4800 kilometres, an average of 400 meters (9)

daily – an amazing feat of endurance.

They(10) are capable of flying at speeds more(11) than 90 km/h. Their

outstanding ability to fly(12) and glide far better than any

other(13) bird has led to them being said (14)

'the prince of soaring birds'.

They eat(15) mainly on squid, fish, shrimp, and

other (16) creatures that are found near the top (17)

of the sea. They also swoop down (18) on scraps thrown overboard from ships.

Sometimes(19) they will follow a ship for continuous (20) days.

Albatrosses will alight on the ground (21) surface, but only when it is dry (22).

They visit land in the breeding sometimes(23) for a brief time. Adult birds live(24)

out at sea for two or even (25) three years.

Close Activity level 3

I am learning to put words in correctly

On Frog Pond

This task is about adding words to a  text so it makes sense -  This will also show comprehension and understanding of text.

Read the text and put in the correct word.

It's early morning on frog pond. As the sun rises, light sparkles on the water (1).    All sorts of  pond animals are waking up.The (2)busy day is beginning.

    At the edge of a (3) pond, a little green frog sits on a lilypad (4)in the water. He

is hidden here among these(5) floating plants. He keeps very still and very Quiet(6).

His big, bulging eyes are watching. He's watching the (7) dragonflies. He's watching for

slugs and worms. He's waiting(8) for flies. This little frog is hungry for food(9).

    Someone else is hungry too. A dragonfly hums silently(10) above the water. She is a fierce

hunter, looking(11) for insects. She hovers near a clump of frogs(12). She can fly in

any direction, even backwards and(13) sideways. Like the frog, she has very

big eyes(14). Suddenly she spots a fly crawling up a log(15). She swoops down

like an arrow and grabs the(16) fly with her powerful front legs. Gripping it

as(17), she munches away at it with her sharp body(18) parts.

    The little frog has seen all this before(19). He turns very slightly. He's ready to pounce,

so(20) he keeps very still. He hopes that the dragonfly(21) will take off towards him

when she's finished eating(22). He hopes she won't notice him sitting

still in(23) green among the pondweed. Soon she flies away(24).
