Mr Willis: Lisa, Simon, I’ve just heard some good news.
Simon: What’s it about, Dad?
Mr Willis: It was announced on TV that a new wildlife park will open to the public next week. Would you like to visit it?
Lisa: Sure. Will there be any dinosaurs there, Dad?
Simon: They’re extinct species, Lisa. The last dinosaurs died out millions of years ago.
Mr Willis: That’s right. You can’t find extinct animals there.
Lisa: So what can we see in the wildlife park then?
Mr Willis: Animals in danger of extinction, like tigers and rhinoceros.
Simon: Will there be any endangered trees and plants? I have a biology assignment about endangered plant species.
Mr Willis: I’m afraid not. But a friend of mine, Tracy, might be able to help you.
Simon: Tracy? Yes, I remember her. She’s a biologist. Where’s she working?
Mr Willis: At the Botanical Gardens. You can find lots of interesting facts there.
Simon: Sounds good. Thanks, Dad. So let’s visit the wildlife park next Saturday morning, and then go to the Botanical Gardens in the afternoon on the way back home. Hopefully, I’ll have gathered enough information by Sunday, so I can start working on my assignment next week.
Lisa: It’ll be so tiring! We’ll have walked for hours by the time we get to the Botanical Gardens.
Mr Willis: Don’t worry. We’ll drive through the park.
Lisa: Oh really? That’ll be fun. Are we allowed to have a picnic or build a campfire there, Dad?
Mr Willis: No, I’m afraid not. That may scare the animals and pollute the air. The more noise and smoke you make, the less safe the environment becomes for the animals.
Lisa: I see … Can I ask some friends to join us?
Mr Willis: Sure. The more the merrier.
