The bird is a cormorant, and Damin is a fisherman. He is over 65 now but still works every day. He is thin, and of average height, but he is very fit. Although he is an elderly man, he is strong enough to control his raft in the river where he lives and works with his cormorants.123456 Complete the information about Damin.765elderlyof average heightfit, strongfishermancormorants, a raft1234Cormorants are large black birds. They are good at catching fish because they can swim well underwater. Their large feet are used to push them quickly through the water. They can dive down 25 metres, and stay underwater for up to two minutes.Complete the information about a cormorant.largeblackcatching fishswimming (well)diving down 25 metresstaying underwater for up to two minutes1234Damin does not require nets or a fishing rod to catch fish. It is done for him by his 12 cormorants. Damin’s fishing trips often begin in the late afternoon. He sets off on his bamboo raft with his birds. When he reaches the right place, he stops. He ties a piece of grass around the neck of each bird, so that it cannot swallow the fish. Then he pushes the birds into the water, and jumps up and down and bangs the water with his pole. The fish are frightened by this. 1234At night a light is hung from the front of the raft. This enables Damin to see better, and also attracts the fish. The cormorants swim down and catch the fish, and bring them back to the raft. The fish are then removed from the birds’ mouths by Damin and thrown into a big basket. Later some of the fish are sold, and the rest are divided between Damin’s family and the cormorants.1234Cormorant fishing is a traditional Chinese skill, probably more than a thousand years old. Damin enjoys his work, and he is teaching his grandson everything he knows. However, few young people are interested in doing this type of work in the modern world. In 50 years, perhaps there will be no more cormorant fishermen in the world.Comprehension1234 Each of the sentences below and on the next page has one incorrect word or number.
