There are more than two hundred and fifty different types of shark in the sea. The smallest sharks are about one meter long. The largest shark is about eighteen meters from nose to tail. Sharks live in the seas and oceans. We can’t find sharks in the rivers.

Sharks have very good noses. They smell their food under the water. Sharks have very strong sharp teeth too. They usually catch and eat smaller fish.

There are many stories about the sharks. There were many films about these dangerous sea animals. In these films sharks attacked people swimming in warmer water. Near the beach sharks were the most dangerous animal in the sea.

Summer is the most favorite season. How happy the kids are! They have their summer holidays. Schoolchildren have time for their hobby. Some of them like to stay at home. They read books, watch TV and play computer games. But most of the children like to be outdoors and spend their time in the street.

Last summer my friends and I went for a walk and played many games. We played football, volleyball, badminton and others. But swimming is our favourite.
