Part 6
Questions 30–34
Read the text and the questions below.
For each question, circle the correct letter: A, B or C.
I love orcas
13-year-old Skyler Moore talks about why she helps these special whales.
When I was 10, I read about a type of whale called an orca that sometimes
lives for 100 years. I never knew that whales feed their babies milk and use
different languages to communicate with each other. I was upset to learn that
there are fewer orcas having babies now, because fishing boats catch the fish
that orcas need to live on.
I decided to make some T-shirts saying ‘Save Our Orcas’ for my family and
friends. Soon people started asking how to get one, so Mum and I began
selling them. The money we earn from the T-shirts is helping to make oceans a
safer place for orcas.
Mum and I go to festivals to sell T-shirts and give out information about orcas.
All the people we see there ask us loads of questions, which is useful.
Sometimes we spend a long time talking to them. And when I tell people what’s
happening to orcas, they want to help.
When I was 12, a journalist asked to interview me for the local newspaper. Her
article explained how I was trying to help orcas. Soon, I was invited to talk on
national TV about why orcas are in danger and what we can do to save them.
This summer, Mum and I are going to do volunteer work with a scientist who is
studying orcas in the Pacific Ocean because I’m interested in learning more. I
can’t wait to get some pictures of them. I’m looking forward to that more than
anything. Recording the noises they make underwater will be an amazing
experience too.
