Listening Practice 4

Jim: Hey, Kimmy. I heard that you got an A for your assignment. What did you write about?

Kimmy: Hey, Jim. I compared amphibians with reptiles.

Jim: Are amphibians animals like frogs and snakes?

Kimmy: Well, snakes are reptiles, not amphibians.

Jim: So what’s the difference?

Kimmy: Amphibians live in water when they are young, and they live on land when they are older.

Jim: What about crocodiles? They live both on land and in water.

Kimmy: Well, reptiles have scales, and amphibians don’t.

Jim: Ah! I get it. Crocodiles have scales, so they’re reptiles.

Kimmy: Yes. What did you write your paper on, Jim?

Jim: Well, I wasn’t interested in comparing animal groups, so I only wrote about insects.

Kimmy: You only wrote about insects? We were supposed to compare two animal groups! What grade did you get?

Jim: I got a D.
