1. Warming up talking about ocean plants and ocean animals

Hello||，class. Have you been to the sea? This week we shall go to the sea to learn about ocean plants and animals. What do you know about them?

There are two general types of plants found in the ocean||，those having roots that are attached to the ocean bottom and those not having roots which simply drift about with the water. The most abundant plants in the ocean are known as phytoplankton. These are usually single-celled||，minute floating plants that drift throughout the surface waters of the ocean.

As for ocean animals||，they are divided into three groups: zooplankton||，nekton||，and benthos. Zooplankton are drifting animals and are usually small||，however||，they can grow to fairly large size. Nekton is the free swimmer and probably the largest portion of familiar animals found in the ocean belonging to this class. The third type of sea animal spends its entire life on or in the ocean bottom.

2. Pre-reading by defining anecdote.

We are next to read Old Tom The Killer Whale. It is made up of two anecdotes. Then what is an anecdote? Why do we pay special attention to some experiences and tell about them? Are they true or false? Can they be trusted? Why do we selectively ignore other experiences? These are questions of vital importance for people who consider it important to really learn what is fact and truth.

Let's start with a definition:

"Anecdote: a usually short narrative of an interesting||，amusing||，or biographical incident."

The very fact that we tell anecdotes is that we find them interesting and often personal. They are unusual||，and are often what we have personally experienced or heard about. We wouldn't notice them or bother telling them if they were the norm||，rather than the exception. We use them
