Interactive Communication Think Ahead 1 . Read the passage and answer the following questions. 2 . Compare the sea turtle life cycle with the human life cycle. What are the similarities and differences between them? Talk with your partner. A What do you think sea turtles and humans have in common? B Sea turtles and humans are similar in that it takes them about 10-20 years to mature. A That’s right. Also, I think both of them go through certain stages throughout their life.

A Sea turtles have to survive on their own after hatching, while humans are raised and taken care of by family members. e.g. Sea turtles are renowned for being one of the oldest animals living today and can be found all around the world. While the actual documentation of their age is difficult, it is well known that sea turtles live a long time and have similar lifespans to humans. Let’s look at the passage below describing the life cycle of sea turtles. Sea turtles lay 100 to 150 eggs in small holes they dig on the beach above the high tide line. After 45-60 days, hatchlings are born. Hatchlings make their way from land to sea. Many do not make it and are eaten by predators. Out at sea, hatchlings grow into young turtles, taking 10-20 years to mature. (1) How many eggs do sea turtles usually lay at a time? 50~100 100~150 150~200 (2) How many years does it take for hatchlings to mature? 5~10 10~20 20~30 Human Life Cycle 40 Lesson 2
