This text is about a biologist and conservationist Roger Payne. He discovered that whales sing and their songs can be heard across entire oceans.
Before he studied whales he had become an expert in animal acoustics. In 1967 Roger went to Bermuda where he met Frank Watlington. Frank told Roger about strange sounds that he had heard underwater. Frank thought the noises were coming from whales.
After that Payne and his colleague Scott McVay found out that the sounds were whales' songs which could travel across entire oceans. It happened at the time when hunters killed thousands of whales. Roger Payne released a recording of whale songs and it helped to start the 'Save the Whales' movement. In 1986 commercial whaling was banned.
Payne still is busy studying and protecting whales.

Dear Berth,
Thank you for your letter. Sorry I haven't written to you before, as I'm up to my neck in business.
Actually, I'm in need of pocket money like you and like you I'm crazy about computers. So, last month I started repairing my neighbors' computers. Now I go to different people's houses on my bike to help them with any problems they have. This week I've already fixed 5 computers and the people seem to be happy to my service. At least, I haven't had any complaints yet. They told their neighbors about that and so forth.
Anyway, enough about me. What about you ?
Now I have to stop writing, because my mobile is ringing. Maybe, somebody needs my help with the computer!
Hope to hear from you soon.
Best wishes,
Nick
