Man : Good evening, I’m Jed West and this is the six o’clock news.

Last night there was an accident in the South China sea, near the Philippines. An oil tanker hit a fishing boat. The collision happened in very stormy weather at half past two in the morning. The fishing boat sank, but the crew got into a life raft. The tanker didn't see the men in the life raft and didn't stop. There was a big hole in the bow of the oil tanker and thousands of tons of oil came out, and leaked into the sea. The fishermen sent up rockets and flares. A rescue boat saw them and rescued the fishermen. They gave them blankets and hot drinks but they were still very cold and shocked. 

This morning, in daylight, a search helicopter saw all the oil on the sea. Special boats are spraying chemicals on the oil but the beaches are already polluted. A lot of fish and seabirds are caught in the oil. It is a very bad day indeed for the fishing and tourism industries. 

And that was the six o’clock news. Join me at seven for the latest headlines. I’m Jed West and thank you for watching Channel 105.

The tusks of an elephant are actually its front teeth.  People pay a lot of money for the ivory of an elephant’s tusk. The ivory from the tusks is made into many beautiful things.

the trunk of an elephant is a fusion of the nose and upper lip. An elephant uses trunk in many ways. It pulls up trees with its trunk when it wants to make a path through the jungle. It also uses its trunk to get water. The trunk can hold a lot of water, as an elephant needs to drink three hundreds pints of water every day.
