Эксперты пытаются помочь киту, но это очень сложно. Во всем мире люди наблюдают кита по телевизору. Здесь в Лондоне все в восторге.

Explanation:
In this text, we are describing a situation happening in the present moment. Therefore, we need to use the present continuous form of the verbs to accurately represent the ongoing actions.

1) The verb "swim" changes to "is swimming". This is because we are talking about the action happening right now, and the present continuous tense is used for ongoing actions.
2) The verb "go" changes to "is not going". This is because we are negating the verb, indicating that the whale is not currently going to the sea.
3) The verb "move" changes to "is moving". This is because we want to express the ongoing action of the whale moving in the direction of the city center.
4) The verb "take" stays the same, as it is already in the present continuous form.
5) The verb "try" changes to "are trying". This is because we are describing the ongoing actions of the experts trying to help the whale.
6) The verb "watch" changes to "are watching". This is because we want to express the ongoing action of people watching the whale on TV.
7) The phrase "everyone is amazed" stays the same, as it is already in the present continuous form.

By using the present continuous tense, we can clearly convey that these actions are happening right now and are ongoing.
