Snake
Snakes are elongated, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes. Like all other squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly mobile jaws. To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most have only one functional lung. Some species

I have always worn glasses. Do you wear them?
Mainly at night! But yes, I've needed them for vision correction of nearsightedness since I was six!
Is nearsightedness when you can't see far away or close up? I always get them confused.
Far away! I remember marveling at the difference once I got glasses. I've mainly worn contact lenses, though since I was 13. That's back when there were only hard lenses!
Oh wow, I mainly wear contacts now too but they're soft. Do you ever wear colored contacts?
No -- you? They always looked so unnatural. Though I've got my grandpa's bright blue eyes, and people ask if I wear colored lenses. There's lots of us -- 125 M worldwide!

The Han dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD) of ancient China experienced contrasting periods of economic prosperity and decline. It is normally divided into three periods: Western Han (206 BC – 9 AD), the Xin dynasty (9–23 AD), and Eastern Han (25–220 AD).

Like all of the Xenarthra lineages, armadillos originated in South America. Due to the continent's former isolation, they were confined there for most of the Cenozoic.

Fishing
Fishing is the activity of trying to catch fish. Fish are normally caught in the wild. Techniques for catching fish include hand gathering, spearing, netting, angling and trapping. “Fishing” may include catching aquatic animals other than fish, such as molluscs, cephalopods, crustaceans, and echinoderms. The term is not normally applied to catching farmed fish, or to aquatic mammals, such as whales where the term whaling is more appropriate. In addition to being caught to be eaten, fish are caught as recreational

Surface-supplied diving is diving using equipment supplied with breathing gas using a diver's umbilical from the surface, either from the shore or from a diving support vessel, sometimes indirectly via a diving bell. This is different from scuba diving, where the diver's breathing equipment is completely self-contained and there is no link to the surface. The primary advantages of conventional surface supplied diving are lower risk of drowning and considerably larger breathing gas supply than scuba, allowing longer working periods and safer decompression

Fly fishing
Fly fishing is an angling method that uses a light-weight lure -- called an artificial fly -- to catch fish. The fly is cast using a fly rod, reel, and specialized weighted line. The light weight requires casting techniques significantly different from other forms of casting. The flies may resemble natural invertebrates, baitfish, or other food organisms.

It is one of the most ancient of all sports, as its basic premise – to identify which of two or more horses is the fastest over a set course or distance – has been unchanged since at least classical antiquity.

I have always wanted to attend the ballet. Have you ever watched a performance before?
No I have not. I would like to as well though. It originates from the Italian Renaissance apparently. In the 15th century. It's pretty old!
What is the most know ballet?
I would say it was the Nut Cracker. It's the most popular worldwide at least.
I think it would be amazing to see the Nut Cracker during the Christmas season!
Yes that would be very nice. Ballet now has its own special vocabulary based on French terminology.
Really? Can you tell me more about this vocabulary? This is interesting!
I don't know much about it, just that its used in schools all over the world now. Each area usually incorporates some of their own cultures into it as it evolves.
So, it is actually studied in schools! This is awesome.

A ballet, a work, consists of the choreography and music for a ballet production. Ballets are choreographed and performed by trained ballet dancers. Traditional classical ballets are usually performed with classical music accompaniment and use elaborate costumes and staging, whereas modern ballets, such as the neoclassical works of American choreographer George Balanchine, often are performed in simple costumes (e.g., leotards and tights) and without the use of elaborate sets or scenery.
