Amazing Ants

Ants live in a large community called a colony. There are thousands of ants in each colony. They are very organised and have different jobs.

The queen ant lives inside the nest and lays eggs. There can be one queen or many queens. The queen usually lives for a year or two, but the queens of some species can live for up to 30 years. Usually, queen ants are much bigger than the other ants in the colony.

The worker antsdig tunnels, and find and collect food. They are all female. They usually only live for a few months. Most ants in the colony are worker ants.

Some ant colonies also have soldier ants. They protect the colony, attack ants from other colonies and carry heavy objects. They are also female and live for a few months. They are bigger than worker ants and drones.

The drones are the only male ants. They have wings and they all fly away on warm days in summer to mate. They live for a few weeks or months.

An ant cannot survive long on its own, but by working together in their colonies they can live almost anywhere.

5.17 Посмотрите на картинки и прочитайте заголовок. Как вы думаете, почему муравьи удивительны?

Ответ:

I think ants are amazing because they are very organised, live in big colonies, and work together. From the pictures, I can see they are strong enough to carry heavy things and that there are different kinds of ants with different jobs, like a queen, soldiers, and workers.

(Я думаю, муравьи удивительны, потому что они очень организованы, живут в больших колониях и работают вместе. По картинкам я вижу, что они достаточно сильны, чтобы переносить тяжелые вещи, и что существуют разные виды муравьев с разными задачами, например, королева, солдаты и рабочие.)
