sea turtle lays around 150 eggs at a time. she lays all these eggs in just a few minutes. large sea turtles live in the warm seas of the world. except when they lay their eggs, they spend their whole lives in the water. when it is time to lay their eggs, the females swim to land.they usually return to the place where they themselves were born. how they find their way back there is unknown. when they reach shore, the big, heavy turtles crawl slowly up to the high water mark. using their flippers（脚蹼）, they pull themselves along the sand. they must struggle like mountain climbers. when they finally reach dry sand, they rest before beginning the difficult task of laying eggs. the turtles lay the eggs in deep holes and cover them with warm sand. the sand protects the eggs from harm. then the females leave them. after a few weeks, if you happened to be walking along the beach, you might see the sand begin to shake. you may see tiny black balls coming out of the sand. the tiny heads of

looks.start with small actions. if youre uncomfortable with long conversations with people, start by just saying “hi” and asking what the person is doing. even if you do more listening than talking in the beginning, people will usually still like you. when it comes to conversations, remember “f.o.r.”. it stands for family, occupation(职业) and recreation(休闲). you are most likely to be asked about these three topics when you meet someone new. most people feel comfortable talking about the three topics. the great thing is that you also can communicate with someone new in these three areas.honesty is the best policy. in friendship, “honesty” is the basic quality that one must have. one should always be honest with his or her friends. dont laugh at peoples fault. praise them honestly and openly. say you are sorry if you hurt your friend.give more than you take. be there when they need you, encourage them; we all need encouragement now and then. encourage their dreams.
