Exercise 2.
Read the text and put the paragraphs (A-D) in the right order.
Then read the sentences (a-d) and put them into the text instead of numbers (1-4).

A. Like all skilled workers, these elephants need an education. (1) At the Young Elephants Training Centre in Lampang Province, an animal first learns basic commands from its trainer. The trainer is called "a mahout" (say muh-howt). A mahout teaches an elephant to get down on its knees, to lift and pull logs, to pile the logs in stacks, and to team up with other elephants on hard jobs.
B. Training at the school isn't easy. But the courses last only four hours a day. (2) When an elephant is ready for retirement, it returns to an area near the school. There people take care of it for the rest of its life.
C. For seven years, the mahout and the elephant train together. (3) They become partners. After graduation, they often stay together and work for the Forest Industry Organisation. (4)
D. In Thailand, a country in Southeast Asia, elephants hold important jobs. They work in the timber industry, pulling heavy logs through thick forests where machines cannot easily go. The elephants drag the logs to places where machines cut and shape them into useful objects.

a. Each mahout feeds and cares for his own animal.
b. So they go to school.
c. There are holidays, a summer vacation — and no homework!
d. This government organisation runs the school and many of the logging operations around the country.
