The Wind and the Sun

One day the wind and the sun were disputing which was teh stronger. Suddenly, they saw a traveler coming down the road

The Sun      :  I see a way to settle our dispute. Whichever of us can cause that traveler to take off his cloak shall be regarded as the stronger

The Wind   :  Would you mind not talking so loudly ?

The Sun      :  Sorry, Okay, you begin. I will retire behind a cloud

The Wind   :  I will blow as hard as I could and I’ll be the winner

The Sun      :  Okay, Good Luck

The Wind   :  zzzzzzzzzzz I’m so tired. I shouldn’t give up. I have to blow harder..... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

But the harder he blew, the more closely did the traveler wrap his cloak aroound him, tilll at last the wind had to five up in despair. Then the sun came out and shone in all his glory upon the traveler, who soon found it too hot to walk with his cloak on.

Bird Flu Death Confirmed

Thailand : Officials, Saturday, reported the country’s 15th bird flu death after test results confirmed that a 27 yeard old man had died from H5N1 virus.

The victim was a 27 year old man from the central province of Utahi Thani, said Thawat Sunthrajar, Director General of the Public Health Ministry’s Disease Control Department. Thawat said the man died on Thurday

It was Thailand’s second bird flu fatality this year, following the death of a 17 year old farmer who got sick on July 24 after burying a dead chicken with bare hands. He had 16 chinckens at his farm, but the ministry did not say whether or not all his chickens were dead.

Ant eaters are perhaps the most curious looking animals. Their long head and snout look like tubes and they have no teeth at all. Their front legs are very strong and armed with heavy curved claws with which the break open the nets of ants and termites and then, when the insects rush out, the ant eaters use their long sticky tongues to lick them up at great speed.

True ant-eaters are found in the swamps and forests of Central and South America. Scaly ant eaters or pangolins are found in Africa and tropical Asia.

Insect eating animals are sometimes called ant-eaters, although they actually, belong to other groups of animals. One of them is the ant-bear, which lives on the plains of south and Central Arica. It has long, erect ears, but short blunt claws, an almost hairless tail and is yellow brown in color. Unlike the true ant-eaters, it has small teeth

Abortion : Legal or Illegal

There has been a great deal of discussion on the problem of abortion. The discussion includes : “Is abortion legal or illegal?”

When a country faces the problem of overpopulation, the government applied some methods to solve it. One of them is the method of contraception. However this method is not one hundred percent effective and successful. Consequently, some people argue that the abortion is the only effective way out.

Nevertheless, abortion may cause many negative effects for women’s health. Women risk their health and lives in bearing the weight of the operation and its consequences. The most common complications are inflammation, infertility, endometriosis and many other kinds of evary illnesses.

So far, abortions have become a dilemma for countries with a large number of citizens.

How is Dust Useful to Us?

Most people think that dust is very harmful to us. But this is not true. Dust is, in fact, very useful and therefore, it is essential to know what dust is and how it is formed.

Every solid substance is composed of very small particles. When these small particles of matter are scattered, they become dust particles. For example, if we go on breaking a brick or a stone into small pieces, it will turn into small particles. These particles get mixed with air and they are called dust particles. The air then carries dust particles from one place to another.

There are different ways by which dust is formed. When solid substance breaks, dust is formed. Smoke generated by the burning of coal, wood, petrol, etc. Also produces fust. Dust particles also come from dead plants, sea salt, desert, volcanic sand, etc. The particles of the earth’s surface also fly in the air in the form of dust.

The biggest use of the dust particles is that they help in the formation of the rains. The water vapors in the clouds condenses on the dust condenses on the dust particles in the form of water-drops. These drops fall on the earth as rains. The absence of dust particles can delay the rain. Likewise, mist, fog, etc. Are also formed due to the presence of dust particles.

the function of simple past.

The functions of simple past:

1.   Completed Action in the Past

Use the Simple Past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past. Sometimes, the speaker may not actually mention the specific time, but they do have one specific time in mind.

Examples:

·      I saw a movie yesterday.

·      I didn't see a play yesterday.

·      Last year, I traveled to Japan.

·      Last year, I didn't travel to Korea.

·      Did you have dinner last night?

·      She washed her car.

·      He didn't wash his car.

2.   A Series of Completed Actions

We use the Simple Past to list a series of completed actions in the past. These actions happen 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on.

Examples:

·      I finished work, walked to the beach, and found a nice place to swim.

·      He arrived from the airport at 8:00, checked into the hotel at 9:00, and met the others at 10:00.

·      Did you add flour, pour in the milk, and then add the eggs?

3.   Duration in Past

The Simple Past can be used with a duration which starts and stops in the past. A duration is a longer action often indicated by expressions such as: for two years, for five minutes, all day, all year, etc.

Examples:

·      I lived in Brazil for two years.

·      Shauna studied Japanese for five years.

·      They sat at the beach all day.

·      They did not stay at the party the entire time.

·      We talked on the phone for thirty minutes.

·      A: How long did you wait for them?
B: We waited for one hour.

4.   Habits in the Past

The Simple Past can also be used to describe a habit which stopped in the past. It can have the same meaning as "used to." To make it clear that we are talking about a habit, we often add expressions such as: always, often, usually, never, when I was a child, when I was younger, etc.

Examples:

·      I studied French when I was a child.

·      He played the violin.

·      He didn't play the piano.

·      Did you play a musical instrument when you were a kid?

·      She worked at the movie theater after school.

·      They never went to school, they always skipped class.

5.   Past Facts or Generalizations

The Simple Past can also be used to describe past facts or generalizations which are no longer true. As in USE 4 above, this use of the Simple Past is quite similar to the expression "used to."

Examples:

·      She was shy as a child, but now she is very outgoing.

·      He didn't like tomatoes before.

·      Did you live in Texas when you were a kid?

·      People paid much more to make cell phone calls in the past.
