TASK INGREDE SEAWORLD NEWS

1) observe the figures (numbers) in the text and
convert the measures to the equivalents in our metric
system (they can be approximated), in Portuguese:
qual o tamanho da piscina? 12m X 12m.
qual o tamanho e o peso de uma baleia adulta? Uma baleia adulta mede l6 metros e pesa 37 toneladas=37.000 kg.
e quanto mede um elefante? um elefante representa um quinto de uma baleia adulta, ou seja, um elefante mede 3,20m e pesa 7,4 toneladadas ou 7.400 kg.
quanto ela come por dia e quanto cabe em seu estômago?
Uma baleia adulta come 1.088,61 kg por dia e para encher o seu estômago são necessários 300 kg.
2) scan the text and try to find compound-complex
adjectives, like the one below:
“newborn gray whale calf”
- ‘calf’ is a noun and the words that precede it are
(or are functioning as) adjectives;

1. Sea World Veterinarian Dr. Jim McBain 2. blood sugar level 3. Sea World veterinarians 4. animal care specialists 5. milk substitute 6. whale milk 7. Sea World's successful killer whale breeding program 8. two-inch diameter tube 9. a 40-foot by 40-foot holding pool 10. heath problems 11. a good prognosis 12. Sea World's general curator 13. an adult California gray whale 14. African elephants.

There are five more like this; (look for the following
nouns: program, specialists, tube, pool and whale).

Have a nice day!

Um abraço,

Dorotéa
