Текст аудирования:
Jane: Brian, dear, I want to say how much Eve enjoined your presentation today. It was terrific. Are you really so much interested in ecology?
Brian: Yes, I am. The more I study the subject, the more interested I get.
Jane: Yes, but why the ecology of the oceans?
Brian: The world oceans still keep their mysteries from us. And they are very important for the future of the planet.
Jane: What mysteries arc you talking about?
Brian: Let me give you an example. What do you know about the blue whale?
Jane: The blue whale? I’ve never heard of it. Is it really blue?
Brian: Yes, this animal was named so for its bluish-grey colour. It looks blue under the water and grey on the surface.
Jane: So, what is so special about this species?
Brian: It’s the largest animal that has lived on our planet. Its heart is as large as a car. Its tongue alone can weigh as much as an elephant.
Jane: You don’t say so! It’s amazing!
Brian: Blue whales can «talk» with each other and their calls are really loud. They are among the worldtasks longest-lived animals. They can live to be about 110 years old.
Jane: You seem to know so much about the blue whale. But why have you mentioned them?
Brian: They are one of the most endangered species in the world. Only a few thousand blue whales swim in the worlds’ oceans. People have hunted them for many years, and now they are nearly extinct. Some time ago the blue whale became a protected species. Today they seem to be growing in numbers.
Jane: It’s good news.
Brian: Yes, you are right. But scientists know they are not out of danger yet.
