JT = Janet Tang E = Eddie JT : Hi! Can you tell our readers what you do every day? E : Sure. The most important part of my job is looking after the dolphins. I need to feed them four times a day and I need to make sure that their living area is clean. Of course, I need to do the dolphin show twice a day too. JT : I love that show. How do you teach dolphins to do those tricks? E : Well, dolphins already know how to jump and spin around –– I don’t need to teach them to do that. I need to teach them when to do the trick. JT : How do you do that? E : I give them a treat when they try to do the trick. They get more treats when they do it at the right time. JT : I see. Have you had any funny experiences? E : Yes, lots! One day, I was doing the dolphin show. The stage was very slippery</p><p> and I fell. The fish spilt out of the bucket and all the animals rushed over to</p><p> eat them! I had to pretend that it was a funny part of the show. JT : Ha! Eddie, can you give any advice to our readers who want to be dolphin trainers when they grow up? E : Sure. Dolphins are like children. You need to be patient and caring so that you can look after them. You need to be hard-working too … and you need to be outgoing so that you can entertain the audience during the show. You also</p><p> need to be strong so that you can stay in the water for a long time. JT : Last question: What is the best thing about your job? E : That’s easy. The dolphins –– they’re my best friends.</p><p>Primary Longman Elect 6A © Pearson Education Asia Limited 2009 Book 6A Chapter 2 Extension Worksheets Name: ( ) Post-reading – extra questions Class: Date: </p><p>JT : Thank you very much for talking to us.
