I had heard of the killers that helped whalers catch huge whales. When I worked at a whaling station,I it many times. One afternoon,I heard a loud noise coming from the bay. We ran down to the shore time to see an enormous animal throwing itself out of the water. George,one of the whalers,told me that it was Old Tom,the killer,who was telling us there's a whale. Another whaler out to a whale hunt. We immediately headed out into the bay,with Old Tom us the way. Using a telescope we saw that several killers the whale were throwing themselves on top of the whale's blowhole to stop it while others were stopping it diving or out to sea. Then the man in the bow of the boat aimed at the whale and killed it. These killers harmed or attacked people. Once when we were in the bay,the sea was ,for which James was carried away by waves. Worse still,there was a shark. Fortunately,Old Tom rescued James.
The other day, I met an old man whose name was Ted, 91 years old. He told me about his(believable) unusual story. He had lived through the Great Depression, served in the defence force and worked onfarm. He was so knowledgeable that he knew a lot in many areas of life. He was building model carts(手推车)that day. His pale hands reached out to a folder on the table, and he(take) out some photos. In the photos I saw his collection of model carts. Ted took me through each photo and explainedwas in each photo. He started telling me about how he cut steel(build) his model carts. He seemed very(enthusiasm). He gave me some valuable life(lesson). He repeatedly kept saying that (learn) is very important in life.(impress) by his love and enthusiasm for life at the age of 91, I realized that there can't be any barriers in lifewe impose (把……强加于) those barriers on ourselves.
