Answer questions no. 1 to 5 based on this text!

Have you ever sent an e-mail? I am Joan Hayes. I am an SMP student in my home town Pematangsiantar.
I have some hobbies, one of them is correspondence. I like making friends by sending letters and now I do it
by sending e-mails to my friends.

You know, making friends is very important for us. It can make us happy and we can also get so many
informations and experiences from our friends. Now, I have sent and received a lot of letters. I have some
favourite pen pals. One of them is Anisa. Anisa used to send letters to me. We stopped sending letters to each
other about a year ago but we still keep in touch. How do we do it? We send messages through the internet
using e-mail, which stands for electronic mail.

There are many e-mail providers such as yahoo.com, lycos.com or hotmail.com. You must sign in first to
be a member of the provider before you send e-mail to your friends.

I sent an e-mail to Anisa two days ago. Up to now, I have sent a lot of e-mails to my friends. Sending

Whales
Whales are big mammals which live in the sea. A thick layer of fat called blubber keeps out the
cold. The whale’s body is shaped for easy swimming. Its front limbs are shaped as flippers. It also has a
broad tail flattened from the top to bottom, not from side to side like a fish tail.
Unlike fishes, whales must swim to the surface to breath. Before breathing in, they blow out stale
air through a blowhole, or two slits on top of the head. Baby whales are born on water. As soon as they
born, they swim up to take a breath.
There are two groups of whales. Toothed whales, like the dolphin, mostly catch fish. But killer
whales are toothed whales that attack seals, penguins and other whales.
Baleen whales are the other main group of whales. Baleen whales include the gigantic blue
whale. Each baleen whale catches tiny shrimp like creatures with a special sieve. This is made of a horny
substance called baleen or whale bone. When the whale opens its mouth, long baleen plates hang from
its upper jaw like the teeth of a giant comb. A large whale can swallow over a tonne of these tiny krill at
one time. Hunting by men has made the biggest whales very scare.
