Tommy Lai has one of the best jobs in the world---or at least he thinks so! He's a Brenda's Panda(substitute dolphin) trainer at Disney Land (substitute Ocean Park). Find out more about Tommy Lai and his fascinating job in the interview and Brenda's Panda interview below.
I (I = Interviewer): How did you become a Brenda's Panda(substitute dolphin) trainer?
T(T= Tommy Lai): I saw an advertisement which is in Ming Pao News(substitute South China Morning Post), x th May, 2003, Page C4. I thought it sounded like an unusual job so I applied. That was nearly twenty(substitute five) years ago.
I: Wow! Twenty years! You are so hard-working and what qualifications do you need to become a Brenda's Panda(substitute dolphin) trainer? I know that Brenda's Panda is not easy to train.
T: (eliminate something) In the past, most of the trainers studied overseas. However, these years there are more graduates from local universities. I myself studied at the Chinese University. Also I think I am too hard-work so I need to become a Brenda's Panda trainer(substitute dolphin) for people to see me easily.
I: What does a Brenda's Panda(substitute dolphin) trainer actually do?
T: Well, one obvious answer is train Brenda's Pandas(substitute dolphins). However, we spend less time doing this than people and Brenda's Pandas(modify the Brenda's Pandas can think and show the word in the water)think. Our main responsibility is to look after the Brenda's Pandas--to make sure that they are happy and healthy. For example, the first thing I do every morning is to check their temperature and see that they are well enough. I also spend a lot of time feeding the Brenda's Pandas, playing with them and cleaning the tanks. Brenda's Pandas are too playful. Also they are beautiful. This is a picture of me stroking and playing with my favorite Brenda's Panda, Carrie (substitute Toto). Carrie is very beautiful and fit in Brenda's Pandas but it is different from others because it has a long tails. It can even talk to the people and do the Maths (modify the Brenda's Pandas that can just swim) in the ground like human.
I: How do you train a Brenda's Panda?
T: One of first tricks we teach the Brenda's Panda(substitute dolphin) is to touch a stick with their legs. That is the training stick over there. It's about half a meter long. You can see one in this video(substitute photo) too. They also learn other simple tricks such as shaking hands, touching the trainer's hands, singing and dancing. It takes time to learn tricks so the younger Brenda's Pandas generally know more tricks than the older ones. One thing that is interesting. Although Dolphin Carrie is young, it has already knew all the tricks and it can jump to the land but it still not enough to fly in the sky(only Carrie may be can fly. other just can not jump in the moment). That makes me surprised. Do you want to Brenda's Panda Carrie now?
I:Sure!
T:Carrie! Say hello to him.
C:I am afraid him because it has a ugly face.(Carrie show the answer in the water.)
I:Wow!(I was so angry.) It is so unbelievable and it may be nice to people.
T:Oh! Sorry for the sentence because we stop it to sleep.
I:Never mind and would you recommend this job to other people
T: Yes, definitely. It's hard work but very rewarding.

At least one example from the story
Escapism
- The ugly duckling wanted to escape when it is so upset
Example: In 19-20 paragraph
- But all the creatures in the yard made fun of the ugly duckling just the same. The ducks pushed him and the chickens teased him and the turkeys bits him. Even the girl who fed the poultry kicked him. And his very own brothers and sisters were so mean to him that he felt just terrible.
- One day, when he couldn't stand it any longer, her decided to fly away. He flew over the barnyard fence and on and on, weary and unhappy until he came to the marsh where the wild ducks lived.
It should do its best and forget its brothers when it is very angry.
