Amy: Wow! It's really long. I want to visit it some day.

Hello, I'm Amy. I have got a postcard. It's a picture of the Huangshan Mountain (黄山). It is very beautiful. And it's very famous in China. It is in the south of Anhui. It's more than 1,860 metres high. Every year thousands of Chinese and foreigners (外国人) visit it. It's really a nice place to visit. I will visit the Huangshan Mountain one day.
Mike: I went to the zoo yesterday. Please look at these photos.
Amy: These photos are great!
Mike: Yes, they are.
Amy: Look at this photo. Is it a fish?
Mike: No, it isn't. It's a whale (鲸鱼). It looks like a fish. But it is a mammal (哺乳动物).
Amy: What a big whale! Tell me more about the whale. How long is it?
Mike: It's about 15 meters long.
Amy: Wow! That's really long.
