People in many countries are talking about it and trying to collect it. Labubu is a small, fuzzy toy with big ears, a wide smile, and a funny face. It was made by a company called Pop Mart in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Labubu is special because it looks different from other cute toys. Many people call it <strong>\u201cugly-cute.\u201d<\/strong> This means it is not beautiful in the usual way, but people still find it adorable and fun. The strange design makes it stand out and easy to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason people love Labubu is the way it is sold. It comes in a <strong>blind box<\/strong>, so you don\u2019t know which toy you will get until you open it. This makes it exciting and surprising for fans. Some people buy many boxes to try and get a full set of Labubu figures. Others use them as small <strong>accessories<\/strong> on their bags or desks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The toy became even more famous after <strong>celebrities<\/strong> and online influencers shared pictures and videos of it. Soon, fans around the world started buying it. Today, Labubu is popular not only in China, but also in Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the United States. Because so many people want one, it can be hard to find in stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many people, Labubu is more than just a toy. It is a way to feel happy, playful, and young again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sub>Source: BBC News<\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"rtoc-3\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comprehension Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Answer the questions following the article in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What makes Labubu look different from other toys?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is a blind box?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How did Labubu become famous around the world?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why is it sometimes hard to buy Labubu in stores?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"rtoc-4\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk about these topics with your tutor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In your own words, attempt to summarise the article in 4 sentences or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"rtoc-5\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discussion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Discuss these topics with your tutor, and support your answers with examples or experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do you think toys for adults are a good idea?
