Dialogue

Jiamin:Are elephants the biggest animals in the world, Miss White?

Miss White:No. Blue whales are the biggest animals in the world. Elephants are the biggest animals on land.

Ben:Which is bigger, a blue whale or a dinosaur?

Miss White:A blue whale is bigger than a dinossaur, I think. A blue whale can be more than thirty metres long and weighs over 150 tons.

Yongxian:What do whales eat?

Miss White:Well, some whales have teeth and eat large animals. Some whales have no teeth and eats only small fish and plants in water. A blue whale eats four tons of food each day.

Children:Wow!

Ben:I’d like to see a whale.

Yongxian:You can see one at our park.

Ben:What? We can see whales at the park?

Yongxian:Blue whales live in the sea. But we can see the whale’s bones in our park.
