Dinosaurs Elementary

Đoạn văn đọc
Dinosaurs lived on Earth millions of years ago. The word “dinosaur” means “terrible lizard.” Some dinosaurs were very big, and some were small. They lived for about 165 million years before they disappeared.
There were many types of dinosaurs. The T-Rex was a scary meat-eater with big teeth. The Brachiosaurus was huge and ate plants. The Velociraptor was small but very fast.

We know about dinosaurs from fossils. Fossils are old bones and footprints in rocks. Scientists called paleontologists study these fossils. They learn how dinosaurs lived and what they ate.
About 66 million years ago, all dinosaurs died. Scientists think a big asteroid hit the Earth. The sky became dark and cold. Plants died, and dinosaurs could not find food.
But not all dinosaurs are gone! Birds are related to dinosaurs. When you see a bird, you are seeing a type of dinosaur. Museums have dinosaur skeletons that you can visit. Dinosaurs still amaze us today!
