                                                   About a wild animal

I would like to tell you about a sloth whose name is Cloddy. It is a wild animal, which lives in rainforests of South America. It seems that this mammal looks like the slowest animal in the world, but it could be extremely fast if there is any danger. It has thick brown fur and it is a size of a cat. The fur is full of insects and sometimes is quite dirty. Cloddy has a funny mask with a cute smile, but the long claws could look unpleasant. This creature usually hangs on a tree and eats many leaves every day.

В тексте упоминается: название животного - sloth (=ленивец); имя - Cloddy; цвет животного - brown (= коричневый); как выглядит - the slowest animal in the world (= самый ленивый в мире), it could be extremely fast if there is any danger (= может быть очень быстр, если есть какая-либо опасность), it has thick brown fur (= у него толстый коричневый мех), it is a size of a cat (= он размером с кота), the fur is full of insects and sometimes is quite dirty (= мех полон насекомых и иногда очень грязный), a funny mask with a cute smile (= смешная мордочка с милой улыбкой), the long claws could look unpleasant (неприятно могут выглядеть его лапы с когтями).
