Sample
Whales are huge animals. They live in the sea and eat small fish and other
sea life. One interesting fact is whales can jump high out of water. Some
kinds of whales are in danger because humans catch them for meat, fat,
and oil, and use whale parts to make candles and soap. Whales are also in
danger from water pollution. We should protect whales by making rules on
whale protection and by not putting rubbish into the sea. I think people
should learn more about whales.
