Henry's Diary | ||
Day 1 18 Jan 2024 | It's Animal Week at school, so we' re studying different kinds of animals. Some lucky kids got tigers. I have to write about… pigeons! Ugh… | |
Day 2 19 Jan 2024 | I'm watching the birds in the park right now. They just fly around — for the whole morning! They leave droppings here and there. Pigeons are BORING and DIRTY! A girl is feeding them. Argh! The birds are flying madly to her. They are SCARY! | |
Day 3 20 Jan 2024 | I'm doing some online research about pigeons. When pigeons look in a mirror(镜子), they know it's not another pigeon. Really? I'd better go to watch them again with the question. | |
Day 4 21 Jan 2024 | Oh! In front of my house, I watch a pigeon for three hours today. Finally, I get a photo of the pigeon looking at itself in the water! They are really clever animals. Maybe I was wrong about them. I need to know more about these birds. | |
Day 5 22 Jan 2024 | I am in the city library. This book says that there are over 200 kinds of pigeons. Some of them can fly several thousands of kilometres without getting lost. They can also fly over 100 kilometres an hour. That's almost as fast as my dad's car! Well, pigeons are SPECIAL — I just didn't know much about them! |
