chimpanzees. Now, however, there is proof that dolphin may be even cleverer than these big
apes. Although a dolphin lives in the sea, it is not a fish. It is a mammal. It is in many ways,
therefore, like a human being.

stories about dolphins guiding ships through difficult and dangerous water.

SNAKES
Snakes re reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as Lizard
(the scaled group, Squamata) but form a sub group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither along.
Snakes are not slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin. Their skin
is hard and glossy to reduce friction as the snake slithers along the ground.
Snakes often sunbathe on rocks in the warm weather. This is because snakes are cold-
blooded, they need the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snake live in trees, some live in water,
but most live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass and in old logs.
A snake’s diet usually consists of frogs, mice, and other snakes. The Anaconda can eat
small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect themselves with their fangs. Some
snakes are protected by scaring their enemies away like the Cobra. The flying snakes glide
away from danger. Their ribs spread apart and the skin stretches out. It’s technique is just like
the sugar gliders.

ESSAY

sheet)! The report text is about

“TSUNAMI”

A. If we look at the tsunami, of course we understand that there is no human intervention in it.
Thus, we do not have control to prevent these causes. However, the preparation and
maximum vigilance, we can minimize the impact of the tsunami itself.
B. Tsunami is a natural disaster caused by rising sea waves to the mainland at high speeds due
to the earthquake centered under the sea. The quake could have been caused by soil erosion,
the plates were shifting, volcanic eruptions and who experienced meteor that crashed in the
ocean.
C. An earthquake in the bowels of the earth will result in the emergence of pressure to the
vertical direction so that the bottom of the sea will rise and fall in a short time span. This will
then lead to an imbalance in the ocean water which is then pushed into a large wave that
moves reached the mainland.
D. When talking about the tsunami, then we would have to start from the cause, namely the
earthquake in the ocean. Tsunami always preceded a powerful movement that we commonly
call the earthquake.
E. With great power there in the water waves, naturally if the buildings on the mainland can be
washed away easily. Tsunami could reach 500 to 1000 kilometers per hour at sea.
