Reading Passage<\/h2>\n

Taiwan is an island<\/strong>. This means water is all around it. The ocean near Taiwan is full of amazing<\/strong> animals. Many different creatures live in the warm, blue water.<\/p>\n

You can see dolphins near Taiwan. They jump and play in the water. Whale watching is also popular<\/strong>. Big whales swim past Taiwan when the seasons change. It is exciting to see them!<\/p>\n

\"Taiwan<\/figure>\n

Taiwan has many kinds of fish. Some fish are small and colorful<\/strong>. Others are big like tuna and sharks<\/strong>. The coral reefs have thousands of sea creatures. Sea turtles also swim here.<\/p>\n

Green Island and Kenting are great places to see ocean life. People go snorkeling<\/strong> and diving. They wear masks to see underwater. The coral and fish are so beautiful<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Taiwan works hard to protect<\/strong> the ocean. People must not litter in the water. Some areas are protected<\/strong> so animals can live safely. We all need to take care of the ocean!<\/p>\n
