Stephanie have one of the best jobs in the world--or at least they think so! They're two dolphin trainers at Ocean Park. Find out more about Stephanie and their fascinating job in the interview below.
How did you became a dolphin trainer?
(Stephanie):I saw an advertisement in the newspaper. I thought it sounded like an unusual job so I applied. That was nearly five years ago, and I think that if you don't know how to swim is not important because if you are tall, you can walk in the water.
What qualifications do you need to become a dolphin trainer?
Setphanie:Most of the trainers have a degree--I have a Bachelor of music. In the past, most of the trainers studied overseas. However, these days there are more graduates from local universities than from overseas universities. But, I think it is not good because we should stay more time with dolphins and not to put too much time in studying.
What does a dolphin trainer actually do?
Well, one obvious answer is train dolphins. However, we spend less time doing this than people think. Our main responsibility is to look after the dolphins--to make sure that they are happy and healthy. For example, the first thing I do every morning is to check their temperature . I also spend a lot of time feeding the dolphins, playing with them and cleaning the tanks. Dolphins are very playful. This is a picture of me stroking and playing with my favourite dolphin, Toto.
Although I am a people and toto is ananimal, we were good friends.
How do you train a dolphin?
Teach the dolphins to touch a stick with their noses is first tricks which I like the most. That is the training stick over there. It's about half a metre long. You can see one in this photo too. They also learn other simple tricks such as shaking hands,; touching the trainer's hands, singing and dancing. It takes time to learn tricks so the younger dolphins generally know fewer tricks than the older ones.
Would you recommend this job to other people?
Yes, definitely. It's hard work but very rewarding.

Ugly duckling bullying ideas
The duckling is very ugly,so no one will play with him.He has bullied by someone many,many times. Although he is ugly,I think he loved his family very much.I have been bullied by my brother when I was small but I tried to loved more my brother and he now love each other very much. I think the one who bully people should self-criticism. Someone who had been bullyed should change their temper or try to chane their presence and image.
