Voici le texte écrit en français par les élèves de 3ème SEGPA et traduit par l’Assistante d’anglais.
_ Hello, my name’s Toto. I’m a platypus.
I live in Tasmania in a tropical forest with all of my friends: Chichi, Wava the koala and Riri the Bat.
I’m a little different from my friends. I’ve got a duck beak, a weaver tail, webbed feets and a chocolate colour fur.
Today, when I was back from holidays, I was sad and worried because my burrow is threatened to be destroyed by pollution.
I must join my friends quickly so that they can help me to find out another habitat.
_ Hello, Wava!
_ Hi Toto, how was your trip?
_ Oh, great but I need your help to find another place to live in because mine is threatened to disappear because of pollution.
_ Don’t panic Toto! Come and live in my tree!
_ That is a generous idea but I can’t climb trees and on top of that I suffer from vertigo!
_ Ok, don't worry. Let’s go and see if Riri has got another idea.
_ Hi Riri!
_ Oh, hello!
_ Riri, we need your help because Toto is about to lose his burrow because of pollution.
_ Ah, really? But come and settle down in my cave. It is extraordinary!
_ But I can’t! I’m unable to live in a cave cause I can’t live like you with my head upside down.
_ So, let’s go and meet Chichi!
_ Hello Chichi!
_ Hello my friends! How are you?
_ Well, let’s say, we’ve got a problem.
Toto is looking for another habitat. Because of the pollution of water, his habitat and his species are in danger.
Can you help him?
_ Ah, I’m sorry Toto? I know we’ve got many points: we both lay eggs and breastfeed our babies, but unlike you I live alone.
_ Maybe you will have to find out another solution!
_ What have you got on your mind, Chichi?
_ I think I know a place where you will be fed, looked after, sheltered and where you won’t be threatened to death. You will have new friends from all different species! You will be able to meet a female and to have babies who will be brought up in complete safety.
_ But I don’t know such a place…
_ It’s a zoo!
