"And those are just some of the wonders of the majestic rainforest!" announced Miss Couri, the Stiles High Biology teacher. She had just finished showing her class a slideshiw from her receng trip to the tropical rainforest, and unlike most slideshows, this one had actually been extremely cool, full of exotic animals, unusual plants and stunning landscapes.
"Wow, I never knew trees could be so awesome," Cloe whispered to her best friend, Yasmin.
"Oh, I did!" Yasmin replied. "I've always loved trees."
"Those plants and animals were beautiful," Agreed their best friend Jade, who was sitting right behind Cloe. "In fact, seeing all tjose spectacular colours gave me some great new fashion ideas!"
"I'm glad you girls are excited," their teacher said, overhearing them. "Because im planning an eco-tour to the rainforest over spring break, anf I'll be taking a group of eight students with me."
"I'm there!" cried Sasha from her seat behind Yasmin, then clapped her hand over her mouth, realizing how loud she'd been. She was the fourth in this quartet of best friends, and tended to be the decision-maker of the group.
"We'll go mountain climbing, take nature hikes and kayak down the river," Miss Couri continued. "We'll also get to study the local wildloke and help with conservation efforts in the rainforest."
"That sounds amazing," gushed Yasmin. "I can't imagine a better way to spend our spring break."
The bell rang, signalling the end of school day, and Miss Couri called, "I do hope you'll think about the trip. I'll have a sign-up sheet here tomorrow."
