Listening report, Planet earth
A)
I watched the 7th episode of the documentary ‘Planet Earth’. The episode lasted 49 minutes. You can watch It on Netflix, it’s originally from BBC. It’s about animals all over the world. You learn more about the animals itself, and how they survive.

C)
Summary: In this episode you saw a lot of animals! From little pikas to huge elephants. They showed you what they eat, and where they live. Pikas spend their time mostly underground. Before I watched it I didn’t even know what Pikas were! In this episode there were a lot of baby animals: little lion cubs, baby geese, calves from elephants etc. It was really cute. But baby animals are easy to hunt.. You saw a few babies getting killed which was really sad. But that’s nature of course! They showed a lot of different places around the world: the arctic tundra, African savanna, America, but also India and more!
Opinion: I liked this documentary very much. I really love animals and I think it’s very interesting to learn about new animals you never heard of before. Also you learn about their lifestyle which is also really interesting. Usually I don’t watch documentary’s that often, but I would watch one of ‘Planet Earth’ again. There was one disadvantage: Sometimes they used words I never heard of before, which made it more difficult to understand what he was saying. But overall the episode was fun to watch, and I learned a lot!
