Sample writing:
Whales are huge animals. They live in the sea and eat small fish and other sea life. One interesting fact is that whales can jump high out of water. Another interesting fact is that they can sing. Some kinds of whales are in danger because humans catch them for meat, fat, and oil, and use whale parts to make candles and soap. Whales are also in danger because of water pollution. We should protect whales from being killed by making rules on whale protection and by not putting rubbish into the sea. I think people should learn more about whales.
