Living by the Sea
Many people live in neighbourhoods near the sea. Coastal neighbourhoods have fresh air, beaches, and different types of houses designed for life by the water.
Types of Houses by the Water
- Beach Cottage: A small, cosy house built near the sand.
- Stilt House: A wooden house built on tall posts over the water to stay safe from high waves and tides.
- Lighthouse: A tall tower with a bright light that guides ships safely to the shore.
Example sentence to practice:
"I live in a small cottage near the beach, and I can hear the waves from my window."Who Lives in the Ocean?
The sea is home to many amazing marine animals. Different animals live in different ocean habitats, such as coral reefs, deep waters, and sandy shores.
Marine Animals and Their Daily Activities
- Dolphins: They live in warm waters and love jumping out of the water and swimming in friendly groups.
- Sea Turtles: They glide slowly through coral reefs and lay their eggs on quiet sandy beaches.
- Octopuses: They hide under rocks and change colours to protect themselves from predators.
- Whales: They travel long distances across the deep blue ocean and communicate with special songs.
Example sentence to practice:
"Dolphins are active swimmers, and they often leap together above the waves."Threats in the Marine World
Life in the ocean is beautiful, but marine animals face serious dangers every day. Human actions can harm sea creatures and damage their natural homes.
Main Dangers
- Plastic Waste: Bags and bottles in the water look like food to turtles, which can make them very sick.
- Water Pollution: Dirty water and chemicals destroy colorful coral reefs and make it hard for fish to breathe.
- Lost Fishing Nets: Nets left in the sea can trap dolphins, seals, and turtles.
