Talking about bugs

Do you remember the dictation we did in English?

Here is the transcription. Read carefully.

There are hundreds of varieties of bugs and insects, and the differences between them are sometimes obvious. For example, some of them have six legs, such as flies, and some have eight legs, like spiders. Others don't have any legs at all, but can move around because their bodies are divided into sections: worms and caterpillars belong to this category. It's difficult to say for sure why people are so scared of these creatures. Perhaps it's because they live in dark spaces. I like butterflies but I have to admit I'm terrified of moths. I just don't like the way the fly. Also, they damage the clothes in your cupboard!

We can say all bugs and insects don't have the same number of legs and that the body of a worm has sections.

Worms

An earthworm is an invertebrate animal with a short, non stretchy body and no legs. It is a type of annelid.

There are 5,500 known species of worms. They can be found everywhere, except in polar or dry climates. Their sizes vary: they can be between two centimeters and about three meters in length. The biggest known earthworm is the giant Gippsland earthworm, found in Australia. It is usually about 80cm in length, but can grow to about 2 meters.
