Structured into five distinct paragraphs, the text opens with Malee’s self-introduction, followed by an elaboration on the cultural significance of elephants in Thailand. The third paragraph explores their unique physical traits and remarkable capabilities, while the fourth centers on their behaviors, high level of intelligence, and rich emotional lives. The final paragraph concludes with a heartfelt call for elephant conservation. Beyond presenting engaging content about elephants, this text also highlights the intimate bond between humans and animals, while directly addressing the guiding questions outlined in Section B. By portraying elephants in such vivid detail, it strives to foster students’ awareness of wildlife protection. The accompanying classroom activities are carefully designed to develop students’ comprehensive language proficiency. Reading tasks target core comprehension skills, guiding students to identify central themes, capture key details, and gain a holistic understanding of the text. Writing tasks, on the other hand, focus on enhancing students’ ability to depict animals with vivid language and to organize their writing in a logical, coherent structure. Notably, the text boasts a clear, well-organized structure with logically divided paragraphs, where descriptive adjectives are skillfully employed to convey the author’s genuine emotions. In terms of activity progression, tasks 1a–1d are arranged in a scaffolded sequence, helping students build a layered understanding of the text from multiple angles. For writing practice, tasks 2a and 2b adopt a guided approach: starting with a model passage for students to analyze, then leading them through fill-in-the-blank exercises and question-driven outlining. This step-by-step method enables students to consolidate their linguistic knowledge effectively and refine their writing skills.
