A Report
Name: Darwin.
What does it eat? Leaves.
How many hours does it sleep? Unknown.
Where does it live? Tropical forest in Africa.
How long does it live? Three to five years.
R: It’s alleged that you’ve discovered a strange species of animal in th e tropical forests of Africa. Would you please give a brief description to the readers?
E: Of course. The mysterious animal I discovered is named after Darwin, the founder of the evolution theory. This special insect has four sets of legs instead of three sets of legs as we have found about that species of insect before.
R: But are you sure that it belongs to the group of insects?
E: Certainly, after careful identification in the lab, it takes on the common characteristics of insects. So the conclusion could be drawn that it belongs to a branch of insect species.
R: How can that be?
E: It’s a great proof of Darwin’s evolution theory, I suppose. However, it needs further confirmation. We hope new evidence will be found to support the theory.
R: Thanks for your excellent introduction.
E: You’re welcome.
