Reading: A Day on The Sea Eagle
Hello! I am Mark, and I am a sailor. I live and work on a big ship named The Sea Eagle, which is a gray ship. I start my day early in my small room, where I put on my uniform. I have four uniforms in my closet and I also have two pairs of black shoes. In the morning, I go to the deck. I see many things like three big boats near us and many birds in the sky. I look at the water, and sometimes I see a school of fish.
I work with my team of twenty sailors, and we have many jobs to do. We check the heavy chains and the strong ropes, and I help the captain. The captain has two big screens for information and many buttons to press. At lunchtime, the cooks make great food in the dining hall, and I eat two big potatoes and one piece of bread. I talk to my friends. My friend, Sarah, tells me about her cats at home, but I have no pets. The ship is one big family; we are good citizens of the sea and protect the water and the other small ships. It is a good life.
