NEWS ITEM 1

Repeat: I’m a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine

This article talks basically about sharks, but in relation to the behaviour of animals in general. Some scientists have discovered that animals could have personality, not as humans but in their own way. People think that sharks are aggressive and all that stuff, but of the 400 or so shark species that exist, only three or four of them attack humans.
Several scientists have done some experiments to know if animals really have personality or emotions and some of them have worked, and now we know that they’re not machines, they could be sensible too.

My opinion about this is that animals are all so different, each one has lived some experiences that make them react to things in different ways, I think, and that’s what people don’t care about. If I ever see a shark, of course I would run away from it, because what the article says is true. We had the image that sharks attack people because in most of the films related to that topic, sharks appear as if they are aggressive or something and that’s basically our image of them. I believe they could be good but, even if they’re good and I knew it, I couldn’t get nearer to them.

Vocabulary
The words I found more difficult in the article were behaviour (I had written that one in the text), spotted, seekers and cliffhanger

Here's the link of the new.
