c) Read about the continents of our planet and check your ideas.

Asia. Asia is the largest of all the continents. Asia has the highest mountain in the world — Everest. It is covered with snow. High up the weather is cold and windy, so plants can’t grow there. There is a desert in Asia. There are many rainforests and jungles¹ too. In the North of Asia, in Siberia there are snow forests — taiga.

Africa. Africa is the second largest continent. You can find the longest river and the largest desert in the world there. A desert is a dry place with very little rain. In the day time it is very hot but at night it is very cold. Only animals and plants that need very little water can live in the desert. There is a big rainforest in Africa, too. A rainforest gets lots of rain. Rainforests are home to thousands of different plants and animals.

The weather is hot and wet there all year round. In Africa you can see the savanna. It is grassland — a plain covered with grass. There are only two seasons in the grasslands — the wet season and the dry season.

Antarctica. Antarctica is a continent that doesn’t have any countries. It is a snow desert. It is cold, dry and windy. There are no people there, only visitors. There are almost no plants there, too. The seas and oceans around Antarctica are very deep and cold.

Australia. Australia is the smallest continent and a country. Most people in Australia live in cities by the sea coast and some of them live in the centre of Australia. This desert area is called the bush. Near Australia there are many islands and beautiful coral reefs.

Europe. Europe has about 50 countries: cold and warm. Europe has many forests. Some forests are so thick that they are difficult to walk through. They have trees that lose their leaves in winter. The grasslands of Europe are called steppes.

North America. It is very cold in some of the countries of the continent — in Canada, Alaska (the USA). Parts of the USA and Mexico are desert land. Prairies are the grasslands of North America. There are lots of forests there too. The snow forests in colder areas have evergreen¹ trees. They don’t lose their leaves in winter.

South America. There are deserts, mountains and rainforests there. The grasslands of South America are called pampas. You can see the highest waterfalls in the world there. The Amazon rainforests can cover half of Europe. Amazonia helps our planet to breathe.
