A dolphin trainer

A day in the life of Joe Trounson,

Joe Trounson trains dolphins. A typical day starts at 8 a.m. Joe checks that the water is clean and the correct temperature, then prepares the dolphins’ food. Each dolphin eats about 4.5 kg of fish a day. At 10 a.m. Joe starts the training.

“I usually swim with them for a while before the first show,” says Joe. “I always give them fish if they are good.”

During the show the dolphins do a lot of tricks. They jump out of the water, swim backwards on their tails, and take fish out of Joe’s mouth. Joe sometimes rides on a dolphin like a horse!

Joe doesn’t work alone. His friend Carol helps him with the training and the shows. “We work as a team,” says Carol. “Joe, myself, and the dolphins – Honey, Lulu, Smartie, Cookie and Snappie.”

Joe and Carol finish work at 7 p.m., but they don’t usually go home until much later. If a dolphin is ill, they stay at the pool and talk to the vet.

“It’s hard work, but I enjoy it,” says Joe. “Dolphins are lovely animals to work with.”

a student of TSU

I usually start my day with getting up and doing all things that everybody does in the morning: washing, having breakfast, etc. Also, I got used to gather my learning tools: pencils, exercise-books, text-books in the morning. Then I usually go to the university. Fortunately, my father takes a car every morning and he often picks me up and drives me to the doors of our university building.

And soon the lectures and seminars begin. We have from two to four classes every time, depending on the day. I like studying at the university more than at school because a student is much freer, than a pupil is.

After the lessons I usually return home where I have dinner and start thinking about my ways of spending the rest of the day. Very often I go to my friend’s place. During the early autumn and summer I often go to the sports ground or on the beach. I also like visiting different sport events. So, the world is full of enjoyable things to do.

On returning home I usually start doing my homework (perhaps, it is the dullest part of the day). Having finished it, I open a book and read it or watch TV. At last, I go to bed about midnight.
