sample introduction：
①my favorite sea animal is dolphins(海豚).i found them at an aquarium this summer holiday.dolphins are very meek(溫順的).neither as timid animals in virgin forests who run away immediately they discover a stranger，nor as beasts in remote mountains who bare fangs and brandish claws the moment they encounter a person，dolphins are always friendly with people.dolphins and human beings have been on friendly terms all along.
i like dolphins，because dolphins are truly intellectual.they can even imitate some people's voice after a period of training.yet，dolphins have intelligence different from common animals.the volume and mass of their brain are among the most considerable in the animal world.up to the present moment，scientists have two different views on animals' intelligence：one is that of all animals，chimps are the most intellectual and capable；another is that chimps are no more capable of studying than dolphins，and it is probable that dolphins are more intellectual than chimps.therefore，some people consider dolphins as “wizards in the sea”.
when mentioning dolphins，people will probably speak highly of their supernormal intelligence and ability.in that aquarium，it is common that dolphins are giving a wonderful performance by following the trainer's instructions.they seem to be capable of understanding what mankind expresses and taking actions according to the instructions.at present，the majority of people marvel at dolphins' supernormal intelligence as a kind of sea animal.but to what extent can dolphins' intelligence and ability achieve？it remains to be probed and researched.
