Whales eat small fish and other sea life.
Read the poster below and discuss the questions.
1. What aspect of the camp would you like best
2. Do you think it is important to carry out research
on whales and other sea creatures
This research helps us learn more about the wonderful world we live in, and about these amazing creatures so that we can better protect them.

Listen to Luke’s part of the conversation again. Number the following sentences in the correct order.
After that, we gave the group of whales a name, and each member a number.
They will be added to the directory so we can identify them in the future.
Most whales have slightly different fins and marks, which can help us to tell them apart.
Meanwhile, we also noted their location, so we can track their movements and plot their migration path.
Then we took pictures of their fins.
Finally, we contacted other whale research groups around the world to share the information with them.
First, we followed a group of whales with the boat.
Later, we created a database of their fins and locations.

Suggested Trip and Activities
For our trip, we would like to go to the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium, whose theme is “Spanning five continents by a connection of water”, We can first visit the special exhibition of saving sharks. Then we can go to see the seahorses whose number declined greatly for the past decade. However, most people do not know much about seahorses at all. I think we need to raise awareness about seahorses and marine conservation in China. The last spot will be The Chinese Pavilion, which displays the aquatic organisms and bio-system in the Yangtze River and some national endangered rare aquatic creatures, like Chinese alligator and Chinese Sturgeon.
Do you think human beings can still see various sea animals in 100 years and why Do you think protecting biodiversity is an urgent matter and why Write down your thoughts in 100 words.
