Gobi desert

“Olivia, Justin and Leon, come here.” said Mr. Chan.
“Yes, how can we help?”
“Tomorrow, you three will go to the Gobi desert to research the condition of the main animals
there in the past and present. You also need to imagine the condition of Gobi desert in the future.
Don’t be lazy there, you need to give me a report!” said Mr. Chan
My name is Olivia and I am a university student. Yesterday, under the order of my teacher Mr.
Chan, I need to go to Gobi desert with another two students called Justin and Leon today. Now, we
are going there by car.
“I am very worried that we will get lost,” I said.
“Don’t worried. My cousin Andrew has lived there for twenty years. He can be our guide
during these days,” said Justin. Suddenly, the car stopped. The driver said,” Oh! Justin, I am so
sorry that I can’t drive you and your friends to your cousin’s home. There isn’t enough petrol for
my car. You must walk there.”
What an unfortunate day for us! After we brought enough water and our cameras, we started
our thirty-minute walk immediately. As expected, we arrived at our destination at half past six in
the evening. However, the village was too large. We couldn’t find Andrew and his house. Luckily,
a boy suddenly ran forward Justin and hugged him. The boy said, “Justin, why did you visit me
with Leon so abruptly? You had just visited me last week. Oh! Is this girl your girlfriend?”
“Don’t kidding, Andrew! Olivia is my friend only!” said Justin angrily. Andrew laughed. He
said to Justin, “Do you remember the game we played in the past? If I can joke with you and make
you angry, I’ll win and you’ll lose. Now, I won.”
“Be serious! Let’s return to the subject. We need to research the condition of the main animals
that live in the Gobi desert in the past and present. We wanted you to be our guide,” Justin said.
“No problem.” said Andrew without any hesitation.
First, Andrew introduced us to the camels. He led us to a camel. It was brown. Its back was
different from the other animals. It had a hump just like a small mountain! Andrew said that
some even had two humps. They could help camels save their fats so that they don’t need to eat
everyday. Camels are hard-working there. They help people carry things everyday. If a cat has
nine lives, a camel must has ten or even twenty lives.
After we took photos with the camels, Andrew thought that we needed to take a break. He
guided us to his house and we all had a seat. During these minutes, he asked, “Have you heard or
seen the Mongolian Death Worm before?”
“I have seen it in the movies before. It is about 1.5 metres long. I heard it can be even longer
and bigger than a plane. Is this true?” said Leon.
“Sorry, I can’t answer you. Many of the people who have seen it before have died. But, I can
tell you that Mongolian Death Worm is a scary and dangerous animal. Someone alleged that it can
spray poison beyond several feet. It can discharge electricity too. It can even corrode anything it
touches into yellow.” said Andrew. “Don’t be so scared! Let’s continue our journey!” said Leon.
After we have gained some more knowledge about the Mongolian Death Worm, Andrew led us
to a strange place. He swept aside the sand and something appeared. Oh! They’re dinosaur bones!
