If you care about the environment, you will really enjoy this month’s newsletter. Let’s go to Costa Rica and see how one determined teenager has tried to change the world. Janine Licare was only nine years old when she decided to take action. She was worried because the rainforest around her home in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, was disappearing. The animals and birds were disappearing too. So, together with a friend, Janine started a campaign to protect her local environment. They called it Kids Saving the Rainforest. The aims of Kids Saving the Rainforest are to teach children about the rainforest and to help the animals that live there, especially the endangered Monoo Titi monkey. Janine has achieved a lot. She has • raised more than $50,000
• planted over 4,800 trees
• found over 250 volunteers to work with her
• helped many injured birds and animals
• started a variety of different projects, such as ‘Adopt-a-tree’
• worked with other schoolchildren around the world
• developed an environmental library and research centre. Janine has appeared in several magazines, and she has been on the National Geographic TV channel as well. She has also developed a special website: www.kidssavingtherainforest.org. ‘It is very important that we save the rainforest. If the rainforest disappears, then so will our planet.’ Janine Licare

Здравствуйте, уважаемый школьник! Спасибо за ваш вопрос. Давайте разберем его по пунктам:

1. "What can tlley uuu" - эта часть вопроса не имеет смысла и кажется неправильно записанной. Возможно, вы хотели задать "What can they do?" - "Что они умеют делать?".

2. "can/ can't" - эти слова используются для выражения умения или неумения что-либо делать. Например, "I can swim" означает "Я умею плавать", а "She can't sing" - "Она не умеет петь".

3. "tiger" - это животное, которое обитает в дикой природе. Тигры известны своими полосатыми шкурами. Тигры могут бегать, охотиться и прыгать.

4. "menkey" - возможно, здесь имелось в виду "monkey" - обезьяна. Обезьяны могут карабкаться по деревьям и использовать свой хвост в качестве дополнительной опоры. Они также могут прыгать и лазить по веткам.

5. "dolphin" - это морское млекопитающее, которое обитает в океанах. Дельфины могут плавать очень быстро и делать различные трюки, такие как прыжки из воды.

6. "shark" - это животное, которое обитает в океанах. Акулы могут плавать и охотиться на рыбу. Они обладают острыми зубами и очень хорошим обонянием.

7. "crecodile" - возможно, здесь имелось в виду "crocodile" - крокодил. Крокодилы могут плавать в воде и охотиться на животных. Они также могут заглатывать свою пищу целиком.

8. "rabbit" - это животное, которое обитает на суше. Кролики могут бегать очень быстро. Они также могут прыгать и копать норы.

9. "US" - это сокращение для "United States" - "Соединенные Штаты". Если вы имели в виду животное, которое начинается на букву "U", то я могу предположить, что речь идет о "unicorn" - "единорог" - вымышленном существе с одним рогом на лбу.

10. "anake" - у меня нет информации о таком слове или животном. Возможно, оно было неправильно набрано или оставлено без выбора.

11. "The bird can fly" - это верное утверждение. Птицы могут летать. Они имеют крылья и используют их для перемещения в воздухе.

12. "The bird can't swim" - это также верное утверждение. Хотя некоторые птицы могут плавать, большинство птиц не имеют специальных подготовленных органов для плавания.

13. "walk" - это глагол, означающий перемещение по земле путем передвижения ногами. Например, "I can walk to school" - "Я могу идти в школу".

14. "swim" - это глагол, означающий перемещение в воде с помощью движений рук и ног. Например, "She can swim in the pool" - "Она может плавать в бассейне".

15. "The octopus can .." - у меня нет информации о продолжении фразы, поэтому я не могу дать дополнительные сведения. Осьминоги умеют менять цвет своей кожи и обладают превосходной подвижностью своих щупалец.

16. "The shark can't walk" - это верное утверждение. Акулы не имеют ног и не могут передвигаться на суше.

17. "climb" - это глагол, означающий подъем или взбирание на какой-либо объект или поверхность. Например, "I can climb a tree" - "Я могу залезть на дерево".

18. "jump" - это глагол, означающий прыжок в воздухе или с определенной поверхности. Например, "The cat can jump over the fence" - "Кот может перепрыгнуть через забор".

К сожалению, в вашем вопросе не было информации о состоянии предложения "The", поэтому я не могу продолжить его. Если у вас есть дополнительные вопросы, пожалуйста, уточните их, и я с удовольствием помогу вам!
