The Galápagos IslandsThe Galápagos are a group of volcanic islands in the Pacific Ocean near the west coast of Ecuador, in South America.
Cut off from the mainland, the islands are home to a diverse, often unique, range of animal and plant species.
The islands were made famous by Charles Darwin’s scientific studies and are now a protected World Heritage Site.

Now you have glimpsed and described the wonders of the Galápagos, take a moment to read your journal entry out loud.
Are your sentences clear?Do they flow well together?Can you add any detail or refine your descriptions?Have you written in Standard English, as Darwin would have done?
