I'm a bit worried about Ken.
Really?What's wrong with him?
Well,he's always really tired.
And he looks ill,too.

You should tell him to see a doctor.
I agree,and you know what?
I did tell him,but he thinks it's just a cold.
But I'm not sure;
he's been like this for three weeks already.
I really think it's important for him to see
a doctor.Sure,it might be nothing, but it's better to be safe.
Well,do you think you could talk to him for me?
Maybe he needs to hear it from someone else?
He thinks I worry too much.
Sure,I'll talk to him.

more seriously.And tell him he needs to listen to his wife more,too!

6a Read the magazine article
about the most dangerous animals in the world.
Then circle the comparisons in it.
The world's most dangerous animals
What do you think is the world's most dangerous animal?
Well,different people have different opinions.
Many people would probably think of scary
animals such as snakes,lions,or crocodiles.
And it's true that some of these animals can be dangerous.
The king cobra,for example,
is a very poisonous snake that can grow up to 5 meters or more in length.
That's as long as a car!
However,although the king cobra looks scary,
it is not as poisonous as the golden poison dart frog.
This is a tiny animal, and probably doesn't look scary at all.
But it certainly is dangerous:
the poison from one small frog can kill ten people!
However,many scientists think that
the most dangerous animal is actually not a lion
a snake or even a poisonous frog,but an insect!
Because the mosquito can spread disease,
scienists believe that it has been responsible for the death of half the people
who have ever lived!
That's a dangerous animal!
