On Frog Pond

This task is about adding words to a  text so it makes sense -  This will also show comprehension and understanding of text.

Read the text and put in the correct word.

It's early morning on frog pond. As the sun rises, light sparkles on the water (1).    All sorts of  pond animals are waking up. A (2) busy day is beginning.

    At the edge of the (3) pond, a little green frog sits on a rock (4) in the water. He

is hidden here among the (5) floating plants. He keeps very still and very calm (6).

His big, bulging eyes are watching. He's watching the (7) dragonflies. He's watching for

slugs and worms. He's waiting (8) for flies. This little frog is hungry for flies(9).

    Someone else is hungry too. A dragonfly hums far (10) above the water. She is a fierce

hunter, searching (11) for insects. She hovers near a clump of Leaves (12). She can fly in

any direction, even backwards and (13) sideways. Like the frog, she has very

big wings (14). Suddenly she spots a fly crawling up a rocks (15). She swoops down

like an arrow and grabs the (16) fly with her powerful front legs. Gripping it

hard (17), she munches away at it with her sharp teeth (18) parts.

    The little frog has seen all this happen (19). He turns very slightly. He's ready to pounce,

so (20) he keeps very still. He hopes that the Dragonfly (21) will take off towards him

when she's finished eating (22). He hopes she won't notice him sitting

still on (23) green among the pondweed. Soon she flies away (24).
