It is about the skeletons of trex and brontosaurus. When you go to a museum you think the paleontologists all find all the fossils of dinosaurs but it isn’t true because sometimes scientists or paleontologists make bones using iron, like they will copy their left leg, if the dinosaur didn’t have its right leg. They want everyone to have imagination and remember what dinosaur looked like. They also want to make the dinosaur more amazing, and that they were something that once walked on earth.

It is about baby cages in the 1900s. They were used at that time because many people died because of TB so they invent this cage – but I don’t think it is really useful because if everyone take their baby out, the peaceful city will become very noisy and sometimes you think taking a baby out is you can breathe fresh air but sometimes people may smoke when they’re walking down the street and you may breathe some pollution that may make you feel sicker.

when the birds arrived on the island they looked very similar but there were 2 differences between the birds, one type have 1 beaks and another one had very short one. The birds that have long beaks will get married with the other birds that have long beaks but then maybe some birds don’t have their home and the birds that have home DNA will be similar to the birds that it mated with, so the birds that didn’t have its home will soon die. They became more and more different so they couldn’t mate together.

When you go to a museum you think the paleontologists all find the complete fossils of dinosaurs but it isn’t true / it isn’t the case because sometimes scientists or paleontologists make bones using iron, like they will copy their left leg, if the dinosaur doesn’t have its right leg / if they can’t find its right leg. They want everyone to use their imagination and remember what dinosaurs looked like. They also want to make the dinosaur more amazing / impressive, and that they were something that once walked the earth.

It is about baby cages in the 1900s which were used at that time because many people died because of TB. So, they invented this cage – but I don’t think it was / would have been really useful because if everyone takes their baby out, the peaceful city will become very noisy and sometimes people think taking a baby out means they can breathe fresh air but sometimes people may smoke when they’re walking down the street and the babies may breathe some pollution that may make it feel sick.

when the birds arrived on the island they looked very similar but there were 2 differences between them, one type had long beaks and another one had very short ones. The birds that had long beaks mated with the other birds that had long beaks but then maybe some birds were in the middle so couldn’t eat the same foods as the other birds. Similar birds mated with each other, so the birds that didn’t have any food soon died. They became more and more different so they couldn’t mate together.
