Sharks frighten most of us, but Daniel Weaver, a shark scientist, swims with them for a living! We asked him some questions about this unusual job.
So Daniel, what’s it like to be a shark scientist?
Well, it’s a great job. I often travel to faraway places like South Africa and Fiji to study sharks. On the other hand, a shark scientist sometimes does boring desk work, such as writing reports. Also, shark scientists don’t usually get paid a lot.
What qualities (品质) do you need to become a shark scientist?
Shark scientists need to be wise and strong. They enjoy working outdoors and they have to be cool and patient (耐心). They also have to be quite brave!
So do you think it’s a dangerous job?
Well, sharks have up to 15 rows of sharp teeth. However, sharks hardly attack (攻击) humans. There are over 350 kinds of sharks in the world and only about 10 are dangerous to us. In fact, dogs kill more people every year than sharks! Humans kill over 12 million sharks a year for food and sport!
How do you become a shark scientist?
A shark scientist usually studies Marine Science or Zoology at university. It’s also good to get some work experience in an aquarium (水族馆). In my opinion, I have the best job in the world!

    Hi Grace,

    How's it going? Sorry I haven't emailed for a while, but I had so much to do!

    I had told you about my decision to take up a sport. I knew I wasn't fit and I wanted

to get some exercise. But that wasn't the only reason that I decided to do a sport. Students

who play sports do better at school.1.                  Exercise also helps learning

and memory (记忆).

2.                  First, I tried soccer. I had played a bit of soccer before

and I thought it wouldn't be too bad. I knew I couldn't nm for very long without feeling

tired. On the first day, I was able to nm for the first ten minutes, but then I was so tired

that I couldn't even kick the ball!

    Then, I tried volleyball. 3.                 I was able to nm for the first twenty

minutes and I wasn't the slowest runner in the team! After a few weeks .I could run faster

and longer. I was doing better and feeling better. 4.              Maybe I'm

not a team sport person after all!

    Finally, I tried kung fu. It's a great sport that exercises the body and the mind. You learn to follow instructions carefully and do what you are asked to do. This is the fight sport for me! 5.                   I feel so confident that l even showed some moves to the class last week! Can you believe it?

     I hope you're OK!  Write and let me know what you've been doing!

      Bye for now!

Kristie
