I took a trip to Gloucester to see some of the world’s most beautiful and exciting animals-whales in the North Atlantic Ocean.After a long trip by train and bus, we got on the ship called Privateer. On our way to see the whales on that beautiful sunny day, I grew more and more excited.After a while, we stopped and everyone on the ship started to shout because we saw whales. It was wonderful!While we were watching the whales, a guide was giving us information about them. She told us that we saw only two kinds of whales-50-foot whales(singing whales) and 70-foot whales(the second largest whales on the earth). She also said wecould easily tell different kinds of whales by their tails（尾巴）, since every whale has a different tail, just like people have different fingerprints（指纹）.They all have names, and on the trip, we saw “Salt” and “Pepper”, two whales named by a scientist and a fisherman. They swam together all the time. Sometimes, whales came so close to the ship that we thought we could easily touch them.I took twenty-seven photos, which was a really hard job because they moved so quickly and stayed on the surface of the ocean just for a short time. Having seen the whales was one of the chances few people ever got.

Bessie had to walk more than six kilometers to go to school.Bessie had to pick cotton and wash clothes to help earn money for her family. She was able to save a little money and went to college in the state of Oklahoma. She was in college only one year because she did not have enough money to compete her studies.

She read about the first flight of the Wright Brothers and the first American female pilot, Harriet Quimby.When she was 23, Bessie Coleman moved to Chicago, Illinois to live with two of her older brothers. There, she heard stories from pilots who were returning form World War Ӏ. She decided she was going to learn how to fly airplanes. But she soon found this to be almost impossible.

She began to study French at a language school in Chicago.Soon after the end of World War Ӏ, Bessie Coleman left for France. She attended the famous flight school, Ecole d’Aviation des Freres Caudron. She completed seven months of flight training. Coleman earned her international permit to fly in 1921 and she became the first black woman ever to earn an international pilot’s license.Coleman returned to Chicago. She was the only black female pilot in the United States. So her story became popular in African American newspapers. She was asked by the Dallas Express newspaper in Texas why she wanted to fly.
