國中英語基測出現過 chicken 的考題。

Arnold: Hey, Julie, what's in your hand?

Julie: A book about dinosaurs. My son is a big fan of Brachiosaurus.

Arnold: Brachi... what?

Julie: Brachiosaurus. B-R-A-C-H-I-O-S-A-U-R-U-S.

Arnold: Wow, it must be a BIG animal.

Julie: It is. It's the biggest dinosaur.

Arnold: Then, what does the smallest dinosaur look like?

Julie: Here! The Compsognathus is the smallest in the dinosaur would. It's about the size of a chicken!

Arnold: Well, I'm starting to feel interested in these animals. How many kinds of dinosaurs are there?

Julie: Oh, there are so many kinds of them. For example, the Tyrannosaurus rex is very terrible because it eats other dinosaurs. And the Pterodactylus can fly like a bird! Some people say it's not a dinosaur, but it's my favorite.

Arnold: Ha! It looks very funny. What would the world look like with so many interesting dinosaurs?

Julie: Interesting? You should feel lucky that they can be seen only in the museum, not on the streets!
