3. Which animal is it?

5.This is the place where the penguins can live
 I.Pre-reading:
There is only one ocean. It’s divided into five different parts: the
Pacific, Atlantic,Indian, Antartic, and Arctic Ocean. There are also many
other smaller seas, gulf and bays which form part of them. Altogether they
cover 75 percent of the earth’s surface. For centuries, people have
challenged by the mysteries that lie beneath the ocean. However, today’s
scientists have overcome many of the challenges ofthe depth by using
modern devices. They send submarines to investigate the seabed and
bring samples of marine life back
to the surface for further study. Satellite photographs provide a wide
range of information, including water temperature, depth and the
undersea populations. If modern technology did not exit, we would never
have such precious information.
Marine plants and animals fall into three major groups. Some of
them live on or depend on the bottom like the starfish. Some are
swimming animals such as fishes and sharks that move independently of
water currents while others are tiny organisms that are carried by the
currents like the jellyfish . Plants and animals of the sea, however small or
oversized, all contribute to its biodiversity. Unless this biodiversity were
maintained, marine life would be at stake.
