🇬🇧 Trawler meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card

A trawler is a strong fishing boat that slowly pulls a huge net through the water to catch lots of fish all at once, kind of like a giant underwater shopping cart scooping up sea creatures.

When the trawler’s big net came up, it had fish, seaweed, three shoes, and one very confused rubber duck.

The trawler’s net came up with a fish, a crab, and a message in a bottle that just said, “Stop catching us, please.”

Our toy trawler in the bathtub caught all the rubber duckies, one plastic shark, and Mom’s missing hair tie.

The captain yelled, “Full speed ahead!” and the trawler moved so slowly that a lazy turtle easily swam past it.

Some real trawlers are so big they can catch tons of fish at once, which is why many places now have special rules so the ocean doesn’t run out of fishy citizens.

An old man watched a trawler pull a heavy net, silver fish flashing in the dawn. The trawler slowed; men hauled rope, faces bright with the catch. Children near the pier cheered at the trawler as buckets filled. When the last fish thudded into wood, the tired trawler rocked, the trawler was home, and everyone smiled.
