LESSON 59

UNIT 30 A giant squid LESSON 59 I bought New Scientist magazine this week, Dad. Did you? I'll give you the money for that. How much did you pay for it? It cost £3. 70 (three pounds seventy). Here you are. I enjoy New Scientist, too. I'll read it after you. There's a piece in it about a giant squid. It's on show at the Natural History Museum.

It's 9 metres long. Nine metres . . . that's about 30 feet. That's as long as a London bus! I know, Its eyes are as big as plates, and its suckers are as big as a man's leg. That's amazing. Can we go and see it, Dad? Yes, of course. We'll go on Sunday morning. The rest of the family will be at the athletics.
