The diagram below shows the life cycle of a salmon, from egg to adult fish.

Sample Answer 1:

The diagram depicts the life cycle of salmon fish dividing it into different stages, from its egg stage till adulthood. Overall, a salmon fish goes through six main phases to fully grow from their hatching (ấp trứng) period and they spend their lives in three distinct locations – river, estuary (cửa sông) and ocean.

Adult salmon fishes lay eggs in rivers and incubate (ấp) their eggs there. Thus the life cycle of a salmon fish springs from the incubation stage in a river. After emerging (trồi lên) from eggs, the infant salmon spend their next stage in freshwater and this phase is called emergence. Then they stay in freshwater to grow further.

After a few days, these fishes swim to river estuaries where their rearing continues. At this stage, their size becomes a bit larger. Afterwards, the maturing fishes migrate to the ocean and become adults. Finally, grownup salmons move to the river for spawning (đẻ trứng) and lay eggs. Thus the life cycle of the next generation starts over.

Sample Answer 2:

The diagram illustrates the stages in the life of the salmon, from birth to maturity.

It is clear that there are six main stages as the salmon develops from egg to mature adult. We can also see that salmon spend time in three distinct (khác nhau) locations during the cycle, moving from river to estuary to ocean and then back upstream (thượng nguồn).

Salmon begin their lives in rivers where the adult fish lay and incubate their eggs. After emerging from eggs, the young salmon spend the next stage of their lives being reared in freshwater areas. Then, at some point in their development, the fish swim downstream (hạ nguồn) to river estuaries where rearing continues.

Following the estuary rearing period, the maturing salmon migrate to the ocean, where they eventually become fully grown adults. Finally, the adult fish travel back upstream to spawning areas of rivers; here they reproduce (sinh sản) and lay their eggs, and the life cycle begins anew (một lần nữa).
