Hi, everyone.// In our biology class, Ms. Sato mentioned that animals have great ①( abilities ).// For example, many of you know dogs can smell far ②(   better   ) than us.// Then, I wondered if other animals have such abilities, so I did some research on the birds.// They have some amazing abilities.// Let me talk about ③(    what    ) (      I      ) found.//
　Do you know how fast birds can fly?// The fastest one is said to be a falcon, or hayabusa.// It can fly more than 300 km per hour, especially when it is trying to catch small animals for food.// Also, a swallow, or tsubame, can fly about 200 km per hour when escaping from an enemy.// Because of their speed, their names are used for the Shinkansen.//
　As I have explained, dogs and birds have great abilities.// Other animals also have amazing abilities.// We humans should respect all living things on earth.//
