Sergio's Text on Tortuguero

Last summer I was in tortuguero (Costa Rica) and there, I could see an amazing phenomenon: turtle’s spawning.
Turtles nest and lay their eggs on the shores of the natural park between July and October, a period in which the natural park is frequented by thousands of tourists.
 However, being a fragile ecosystem, only a certain number of tourists are allowed in each tour spawning, to thereby avoid disturbing nesting turtles.
The tours are conducted in the evenings. I will tell you how were the rules of the tour to see turtles spawning:
First we had to put off the mobiles phone.
Second we had to go with red light lanterns (it was dark).
Third we had to stay quiet.
When all these rules are ok the tour guide notifies you when you can see the turtle.
 The turtle leaves the sea, excavates a nest and lay about one hundred eggs.
She goes into a trance and in this moment you can see the process without disturbing her.
After three months the little turtles break the eggs and have to run to avoid to be eaten by a lot of predators before reaching the ocean.

Only a few numbers of turtles survive and one on three hundred lives and reaches the adult stage.




True or false:

1) Many turtles survive and reach the adulthood.

2) You can be with the normal lanterns in the tour.

3) The turtle lay the eggs in the ocean.

Open questions:

    1)      Where do turtles lay their eggs? When?

    2)      When are the tours conducted?

Synonyms:

1 )Surprising 1
2 ) Happening 1
3) Visitors 3
4) Nevertheless 3

  4. Hi Sergio!I've found your text amazing because i've learn a lot of things with it like that one turtle can lay a hundred of eggs and that only one turtle of three hundred can reach the adult stage. Other thing that i like of your text is that you've put photos on it and i think that is a good detail.

  12. Hi Sergio!
    I think this text is very interesting because i love turtles and almost it´s my fauvorite animal before sharks.In this text i see that turtles can be so slow but, this animal could live in the land and in the water too.However when the turtles put the eggs in the ground most of them died because of the animals who eat´s them.Finally i really like to go on a trìp to Costa Rica.
    WELL DONE SERGIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
