(2c) Task: Students read the article again and write short answers to the questions: What is Lin Wei's job? → She is a panda keeper. What do the baby pandas have for breakfast? → Milk.

Why are scientists doing research? → To better understand the habits of pandas. (2d) Task: Students complete the sentences using words from the passage: The panda keepers at the Chengdu Research Base are awake early in the morning to prepare breakfast for the baby pandas. In fact, pandas have become so popular that they are now a symbol of China. Adult pandas do not have babies very often, and some of the babies only live for a short time because of illnesses. A special program in Chengdu teaches children about why pandas are endangered. The Chinese government is helping to protect the pandas. Scientists also want to better understand the habits of pandas.
