　　Dialogue A

　　A：Now，let's go and see the aviary first.

　　B：All right. (They enter the aviary. )Look，a pair of eagles from North America. Huge birds，aren't they? And so stately.

　　A：What are those repulsive-looking birds of prey in the cage beside them?

　　B：They're hawks，buzzards and vultures. Vicious looking creatures，aren't they?Look at the falcons?

　　A： I must say I prefer the more gentle type of fowl. Look at those tropical birds，for instance，those long-tailed，multicolored parrots are a delight to the eye.

　　B：Considering the size and the strength of their beaks，I wouldn't say those parrots look all that gentle.

　　A：Look at the peacock. Isn't it beautiful!

　　B：Yes，it is. So pround and so beautiful!Well，look at the turkeys，swans，and ducks. Let's go nearer.

　　A：We'd better go and see the carniverous animals.

　　B：Carniverous animals?What does“carniverous” mean?

　　A：“Carniverous” means meat-eating. They feed on other animals. Here we are. Just feast your eyes on that majestic lion prancing about its cage! He seems fully aware of being“the king of beasts”。

　　B：It's really beautiful. Look， how fast that fish swims. It's chasing that one. It must be a snapper.

　　A：What a pity we can't find one here. I hear it is very much like a baby.

　　B：Well，not exactly. That fish has paws which are a lot like the fingers of little babies，but that's all.

　　A：What's that over there?

　　B：It must be a seal or a dolphin. Let's go have a look.

　　A：Oh!It's a seal. Look! That big， lazy seal is climbing onto the bank. It probably wants to get some sunshine.
