Dialogue A

A:Now,let's go and see the aviary first.
B:All right. (They enter the aviary. )Look,a pair of eagles from North America. Huge birds,aren't they? And so stately.
A:What are those repulsive-looking birds of prey in the cage beside them?
B:They're hawks,buzzards and vultures. Vicious looking creatures,aren't they?Look at the falcons?
A: I must say I prefer the more gentle type of fowl. Look at those tropical birds,for instance,those long-tailed,multicolored parrots are a delight to the eye.
B:Considering the size and the strength of their beaks,I wouldn't say those parrots look all that gentle.
A:Look at the peacock. Isn't it beautiful!
B:Yes,it is. So pround and so beautiful!Well,look at the turkeys,swans,and ducks. Let's go nearer.
A:We'd better go and see the carniverous animals.
B:Carniverous animals?What does“carniverous” mean?
A:“Carniverous” means meat-eating. They feed on other animals. Here we are. Just feast your eyes on that majestic lion prancing about its cage! He seems fully aware of being“the king of beasts”。
B:He looks great behind the bars,but it wouldn't be funny to meet one in the jungle.
A:No,of course not. I wouldn't fancy those tigers there as household pets,either.
B: Those sleek leopards are very fascinating. I've seldom seen such beautiful furs. Oh,here are the jackals,wolves,and wild cats.
A:What a horrible,moanful noise they're making. It really frightens me. Those white and black giant pandas are gentle and lovable,though.
B:Look,the foxes seem to be dead asleep. They're probably fed up with all the people staring at them. Shall we go over to see the elephant and monkeys?
A:O. K. . Let's go.


Dialogue B
(Visiting the aquarium)
A:Look!Why are there so many people crowded there?
B: Perhaps that's the aquarium. Do you like to watch thoseaquatic animals?
A:They are my favorites. Isn't it magnificent to see them playing about in water?
B:Yes,let's go.
A:Look at those goldfish. Can you name some of them?
B:That's beyond my power. Oh,those fish are different colors:red,white and black.
A:Look at that one. There's a flower on its head. It's eyes are like water bubbles.
B:It's really beautiful. Look, how fast that fish swims. It's chasing that one. It must be a snapper.
A:Hey,Wang, have you ever seen a giant salamander?
B:Yes. When I had my work practice in Yanjing Hotel,I saw one in the small water pond which was built in the ground floor of the hotel.
A:What a pity we can't find one here. I hear it is very much like a baby.
B:Well,not exactly. That fish has paws which are a lot like the fingers of little babies,but that's all.
A:What's that over there?
B:It must be a seal or a dolphin. Let's go have a look.
A:Oh!It's a seal. Look! That big, lazy seal is climbing onto the bank. It probably wants to get some sunshine.
B:It looks clumsy on the bank, but is quite graceful in water. Look at that seal. It's doing the breaststroke.
A:Shall we go and look at the other sea animals?
B:Oh,wait a moment. How nice to see those seals!
A:There's still a lot to see,the sea horse and the sea cow,the turtle and sea snakes, and the beaver and globefish.
B:Come on. That seal is going to play games. The man over there must be the animal trainer. It seems that the seal is quite familiar with him.
A:You're really attracted by the seals, aren't you?
B:Yes. Don't you like them?
A:Of course I do,but we haven't got much time to linger on here. If you are interested,we can find another whole day to have a good look at the seals.
B:All right. What else do you want to see?
A:Let's go to see the turtles,shall we?
B:OK.Let's go.
