She told Lily about a national drawing competition for children. "You should enter," said the teacher. "Your drawings are so creative and full of life." Lily was excited but also nervous.

When the competition results were announced, Lily won first place! Her drawing was displayed in a famous art gallery, and she even got a scholarship to an art school.

Some birds travel thousands of kilometers every year, flying from one part of the world to another. How do they know where to go? Scientists have discovered that birds use several different methods to navigate. One method is using the sun and stars as compasses. Birds can tell the direction of the sun and stars, even on cloudy days. They also have a built-in "clock" that helps them know the time of day, so they can adjust their direction based on the sun's position. Another method is using the Earth's magnetic field. Birds have tiny particles of iron in their beaks that act like a compass, helping them sense the Earth's magnetic field. This allows them to know which direction is north, even when there are no stars or sun visible. Some birds also use landmarks to find their way. They remember mountains, rivers, and coastlines, and use them as guides. For example, some birds follow the coast when they migrate, using the ocean as a landmark. Scientists are still learning about how birds navigate, but one thing is clear: birds have amazing abilities that help them travel long distances safely. 8.How do birds use the sun and stars to navigate? A. They use them to tell the time of day. B. They use them as compasses. C. They use them to find food. D. They use them to communicate with other birds. 9.What do birds have in their beaks that help them navigate? A. Tiny particles of iron. B. Tiny cameras. C. Tiny microphones. D. Tiny computers. 10.What do some birds use as landmarks? A. The sun and stars. B. The Earth's magnetic field. C. Mountains, rivers, and coastlines. D. Other birds. 11.What is the main idea of the passage? A. Birds are beautiful animals. B. Birds use several methods to navigate during migrations. C. Scientists are still learning about birds. D. Birds migrate long distances every year. D Do you want to improve your English speaking skills? Here are some tips to help you: Speak English every day.
