Kinah is waiting on the beach. After some time, she sees the outline of a
turtle in the dark. It is moving slowly out of the water. The turtle is looking
for a place to lay her eggs.

Kinah is very excited to see the turtle. Her parents are watting near
her. but she knows she cannot shout out to them. loud noise and bright

lights will dislurb a nesting turtle. She
points out the turtle to her father. He nods
his head. They watch the turtle from a
distance. It storts to dig a hole with tts
flippers. When the hole is big and deep
enough. the turtle starts to lay eggs. After
that, tt covers the hole with sand again.
Then, it crawls back into the sea. Kinah's
father and mother dig into the sand. At
last. they reach the eggs. Kinah helps them to take the eggs aut from the
nest and put them into a pail carefully. Then, they immediately take the
eggs to the turtle hatchery nearby.
They help the hatchery officer bury the eggs in 0 new hole in the
hatchery. The officer marks the sand clearly with a sign. After the eggs
hatch. Kinah will help to take the hatchlings out to the beach and release
them. She hopes the hatchlings will survive and come bock one day. Her
family helps with the turtle conservation programme every year.

Answer these questions.

2. Why is Kinah excited?

Venus is the second planet from
the Sun. II is located between
Mercury and Earth. Venus and
Earth are almost the some size.
II is the closest planet to Earth.
However. it does not have seas
or living things.

The weather on Venus is very

different from ours. The thick
clouds over Venus keep the heat
in. The temperature during the day
is so hot that even metal can melt.
The surface of Venus is covered in
dried lava from old volcanoes. These volcanoes are not active anymore.

Venus is special because it spins slowly and in an opposite direction
from the other planets. The douds on Venus also reflect sunlight. That is
why Venus looks so bright from Earth.
