Melinda: John! Hurry! The documentary on Greenland just started.

John: I’m coming, Melinda. Don’t forget to record it for our assignment. Greenland is really cold, and it’s covered with snow and ice. It is also the largest island in the world.

Melinda: It’s beautiful. Look at the cute polar bears and dogs. I wish I could live there.

John: You can only live along the coast because most of the island is covered with ice.

Melinda: Well, I will live on the coast then. Look! What are they doing?

John: Looks like an ice fishing festival and a dog sled race.

Melinda: That dog sled race seems a bit cruel if you ask me. Look at the dogs. They seem so exhausted.

John: Well, I guess it is part of their culture. Now, let’s gather the information we wrote and start our assignment. Show me your notes.

Melinda: Oops. I didn’t write anything down.
