C READING
Read the following texts about orphan kangaroos. Then, answer the
questions.
These cute baby kangaroos have unfortunately lost their mothers to
traffic accidents, a sadly common occurrence in Australia. But luckily,
volunteers like Sam and Owen are on hand to look after them.
"She came with me to the university, just about everyone in my class
has had cuddles with her. Especially during exam time, she's a bit of a
stress-relief. Just hand her around and she has cuddles!" Sam said.
Their work doesn't just involve looking after the orphans. It has a wider significance.
Owen said, “We go to schools and we go to markets and fairs and have all the animals there, so people
who may generally not come in contact with these animals - we give them that opportunity to and that way,
they can see, they can touch and they can get up and close with these animals and they build their connection
with the animals, with the environment and they're able to see the significance of their actions.''

'Scaredy Cats and Dogs' in Manila, Philippines.
A charity organises the event, and the charity is called the

hope that the event encourages people to see animals in a different
