CELPIP Speaking Unusual Situation- Describe An Animal
Hi,
My name is Rocky, and I’m just calling from a local park here in Ottawa. I was walking through the park and suddenly saw a really strange animal hiding in the bushes. I’m wondering if it might be missing from the zoo. I’ll just give you a quick description of it. It looks like a cross between a zebra, a walrus, an eagle, a deer, and a cheetah. It has the body of a zebra with black and white stripes, and it has two big wings on either side of the body. It has the head of a walrus with two big tusks. It has big eyes with huge green pupils. On top of its head it has big antlers.
Its tail is like a cheetah orange and white with black spots. The animal also has black hooves. Have you lost an animal like this?
