Task 1: Sharks

Now listen again with the script

There are over 400 different species of sharks in the world. Although they live in every ocean in the world, studies have shown that up to 70% of oceans are free of sharks. They are well prepared for feeding under water because they have great vision.

Although sharks are similar to other fish in a number of ways, their bodies are different. For example, unlike other fish, most sharks need to swim all the time in order to breathe and stay alive, so they hardly sleep at all.

Also, if sharks are turned over on their backs, they can stop moving completely. This is a very useful technique for researchers who are often required to handle sharks. It allows them to find out more about these fascinating creatures.
