BR 2-11: All About Ocean Life

The plankton lives near the top of the ocean because they need sunlight. (P.6)

This time, I’m going to introduce you a book about ocean. There are five oceans, and they cover about 70 percent of Earth. Do you go swimming in the sea in summer every year? Do you like fish? At the first, I introduce you about various fish. One is whale. Whales are ocean mammals. The blue whale is the biggest animal in the world and it can be more than 30 meters long. It’s as long as bus. It has no teeth, so it only eats plankton and small shrimps. Have you ever known that whale has no teeth? I have known that it doesn’t have fish but I haven’t ever known that it has no teeth. That’s why it can’t eat fish and eats plankton and small shrimps. Two is grobe fish. Do you know how it makes its body big? It drinks lots of water and this makes its body big and round like a ball, its spines stand up. It knows that another fish can’t eat it so they don’t come near. Three is angler fish. It lives in deep water, where it’s very dark and cold, but it has a small light on its head. A small light on its head is like lantern. When small fish see the light, they think that it’s something that they can eat. When they swim near, the angler fish eats them. The looks and how to eat small fish are very fearful. At the second, I introduce you about danger. There are many dangers in ocean. The oil goes into the water, birds and other animals eat it and can kill them. Dirty water and chemicals from the toilets, factories, and farms also go into the oceans. They can kill plants, fish, birds, and other animals. We have to keep the ocean clean and safe. For example, it enacts a new law for ocean environment. Everybody all over the world have to enfact for oceans clean and safe, and hand over to future generations.
