Whales are the largest animal on earth. Bigger than elephants, they may grow 95 feet long,
and weight 150 tons. A baby blue whale, just born, can be 23 feet long and weighs 3 tons.
Although whales live in the oceans and can swim like fish, they are not fish. They are
mammals, like cows and elephants. Unlike fish, they bear young alive net as eggs. Their babies
live on their mother’s milk. They breathe through their lungs and hold their breath when they go
under water. If they cannot come to the surface to breathe fresh air, they will drown. They are
warm blooded. Fish, however, lay eggs, breathe oxygen in the water and are cold blooded.
Whales live in all the oceans. In the winter some of them go to warm waters to breed and in
the summer most of them go to cold waters to feed. There are two kinds of whales, whales with
teeth (toothed whales) and whales without teeth (baleen whales). The toothed whales eat fish and
squid, which they can catch with their teeth, although they swallow their food without chewing it.
The baleen whales eat plankton (small sea animals and plants). When they find plankton, they open
their mouths and swim into the plankton. When they close their mouths, they squeeze out the water
and swallow the plankton.
Whales have few enemies. Only human beings and the killer whales attack whales. And
whales do not seem to fight among themselves. They usually live from 20 to 30 years.

We should think twice before deciding to use a credit card. This is so, for the following reasons.
First of all, the biggest disadvantage of credit card is that they encourage people to spend money
that they do not have. Most credit cards do not require you to pay off your balance each month. So even
if you only have $100, you can spend up to $5000 or $1.000 on your credit cards. While this may seem
like “free money” at the time, you will have to pay and the longer you wait, the more money you will
owe. Credit cards company charges you interest each month on the money you have borrowed.
In addition, there are high interest rates and increased debt. Credit cards company charge you an
enormous interest on each balance that you do not pay at the end of each month.
Credit Card Fraud. Like cash, sometimes credit cards can be stolen. They may be physically stolen
or someone may steal your credit card number to rack up debts. The good news is that, unlike cash, if
you realize your credit card or number has been stolen, and you report it to your credit card company
immediately, you will not be charged for any purchases that have been made.
These are the reason why I think we should think twice before owning a credit card.
