Seal Island is a 200-meter long island in South Africa, which is surrounded by 55 to 57 degrees Fahrenheit waters and covered with over 60,000 seals and some birds. This island has been home to many birds and seals. You may think this island is a paradise. In fact, the island is not famous for the seals or birds. However, the real stars are the great white sharks that leap out of the water to catch the seals they are hunting.
You may think that there is no way for a 15-foot long, 3,000-pound shark to hurl its body out of the water and catch a seal in midair.Actually, these sharks are called "Air Jaws".
Over the years, the seals have gotten smarter. Now, they go out in groups of seven or eight to feed. They swim down on the sea floor, which gives them extra camouflage(掩饰). When they have to swim near the water surface, they swim in a zigzag(之字形的) pattern. But with all these tricks, they can still be outwitted(以智取胜) by the sharks. Usually, the sharks will take one seal away from its group and force it to swim on the surface, where it is easy to hunt. Sometimes, the seal is lucky and gets away, but most of them die in the process of trying to survive.
Every year, tourists go to see these amazing animals leap out of the water, sometimes flinging(抛) their whole bodies into the air when they want to catch the seals. Some people even want to go into shark cages to see the action from below! This is the reason why this island attracts thousands of tourists around the world every year.

Although pollution is still everywhere, we can make a difference. Here is an example. Every day, Judy Smith, a 16-year-old girl, waters and cares for the trees at school. A rainstorm hit the area on March 10th, 2024 and some of trees at school fell down. Judy was in the classroom when the rainstorm came. She could feel the wind shaking the windows and saw the trees falling down. Judy used to sit under the trees and enjoy some relaxing time. She didn't want to lose the trees. As a member of the School Green Team, Judy decided to offer help. She came up with a planting plan and called for her team members to help. Now they often help plant trees and take care of them. The headteacher, Mike Smith, said the school was lucky to have this plan."Some of those trees were as old as the buildings, and it was sad to see them fall,"he said. Judy is proud whenever she helps protect the environment. She hopes that more students can join them. |
What Is a Good Friend Like? | |
Cindy | I think a good friend should be honest(诚实的). That's more important than any other thing. And it is where a real friendship starts. If a friend isn't honest, he may lose his friends' trust. |
Jenny | I think a good friend has to be generous(慷慨的). Being generous doesn't mean he has to give his friends his lunch money or his clothes. It means he should share his ideas and feelings with his friends. In fact, his friends can know him better in this way. |
Mary | In my eyes, a good friend should understand his friends. When there's something wrong between him and his friends, he can put himself in his friends' place and think more for his friends. |

No matter what kind of video we're watching, as long as the bullet comments are on, it will turn into a comedy.
With bullet comments on, we can see other people's thoughts, so we can have a different experience. Sometimes we can even find details of the video from them. It allows people to share their feelings. It turns the film-watching experience into an online social activity. I usually enjoy the movie and share my ideas with others in this way at the same time.
When there were no bullet comments before, I had more thoughts on the movie. Ever since there have been bullet comments, I need to turn them on when I watch videos because some comments have something to do with the story. However, I do have less thoughts on the movie itself with them on. That makes me quite bored. 
If someone just keeps telling the story of the movie while you're watching it do you want to beat him at once?
