The Examination

 

I was waiting for the doctor to finish his examination. I was worried and nervous. Would he have to operate? Would a blood transfusion be necessary? What would he have to say?

Dr. Johnson was a heart specialist. He was an excellent doctor and his examinations were always complete. He listened to the patient’s heart, took his blood pressure and temperature, gave him an X-ray and examined his eyes and ears.

The doctor finally completed his examination and spoke to me. He told me that heart trouble is never a minor illness, but this wasn’t a serious heart attack. He advised losing some weight, getting a plenty of sleep, and eating good meals. Smoking and drinking would be harmful, of course. Dr. Johnson said it would be necessary to be careful for a while, but he was confident that there was nothing to worry about.

I felt much better after I spoke to Dr. Johnson. I was certain that my uncle would be up and around again very soon. He’s seventy years

 

A Trip to the Eden Project

 

Last Friday, our class traveled in the school bus to visit the Eden Project in Cornwall. It was a long ride to get there so we had to be at school an hour earlier, at eight o’clock. We brought our breakfast to eat on the bus.

When we arrived at the Eden Project, we could tell it was a big attraction by the size of the car parks, which were carefully laid out and named after fruits – we were in Plum Car Park. As we walked down, we could see the Eden Project buildings – two enormous plastic domes, built in a dip.

Mrs. Jeffries told us they were called “biomes” and the dip used to be a clay pit, where men had dug out the relay to use for making pots. We spent our morning going round the biomes, looking at the plants. One is kept very warm inside and filled with tropical plants like rubber trees, bamboo, spices, coconuts, and pineapples. There are also displays of buildings and gardens from tropical countries. The other biome is not so warm and among the plants there are orange, lemons, grapes, and olives.

We had our lunch in the exhibition center, where we watched a video about “The Making of Eden”. The Eden Project was build to show how men and plants depend upon each other and it cost millions of pounds to build. Next we had a talk about the plants. A lady explained how you get cocoa beans and cocoa milk from a pad and use them to make chocolate.

We were allowed to look in the shop and spent two pounds. I bought some stickers and a postcard of a man building the biomes. Finally, it was time for the long ride home. We were back by half past three, just in time for the bell.

Want to Denpasar to Makassar

 

One day I flew from Denpasar to Makassar. I went with Kevin and Kathryn. Kevin is the project manager for Kang Guru Radio English and Kathryn is the program officer for AUSAID.

The flight was only about an hour. We started to descend and the landing gear made a loud POP sound. I was a little worried. The pilot said something over the intercome in Bahasa Indonesia. I didn’t understand him. I ask someone sitting near me for a clue. He looked anxiously back at me shaking his head. There was no comfort there. The flight attendants looked scared too.

Where was Kevin and when I needed him? I glanced back at Kathryn. All the colour had drained from her face. She was clutching the armrests from of her seat and shaking her head with her haws clenched. Again, the pilot said, something in that mysterious language. This time, instead of the POP sound there was a nice gentle creaking and a slight shudder as the landing gear dropped. I looked out the window and could see the tires on my side of lane lowering. I folt a little weak in the knees. I realized I had been holding my breath for quite a white. As I drew in a deep breath we gave each other a shaky smile as the place bounched along the landing strip. They had a made it.

Organic Farming of Food

 

 

Europe is now the biggest market for organic food in the world and it is so popular. Organic farming means farming with natural, rather than man. Made fertilizers and pesticides. Organic farmers rely on various techniques, such as crop rotation and the use of resistant varieties that are used to some extent in conventional farming. The of organic farming is to minimize external inputs and create a self-sufficient. Close system, self-sufficiency, in this sense. Organic farming is often claimed to be safer than conventional farming, for the environment, for our children and for us.

Toxin is one of the example is supporters of organic farming that man made fertilizer is environmentally damaging. The notion that organic food is safer than normal food is also contradicted by the fact that many of our most common foods cue full of natural toxins. Many kinds of food that we prefer eating reflect how we relate for nature. For most of human history the more artificial and elaborate our diet. The ancient Romans distinguished between food not as proteins V carbohydrates, or even meat V vegetables, but as cultivate V wild and Europeans surrounded by plentiful food fear not nature, but science a dominant contemporary fear that people are wrecking nature. This is the real significance of the nap poll is. It is not a vote of positive support for traditional or organic farming.

The organic farming movement is a luxury for people in safe. Because European agriculture is among the safest in the world. They have serious problem with farming; these involve funding, distribution and subsidies. They do not directly affect consumers, and they are not remotely about dangerous substances lurking in our food so they can be fool and mouth disease. While an economic disaster for farmers, presents no risk to human health. But Europe dose not need the number of farms if has in order to produce the food if needs, whit her for domestic consumption or trade abroad. Organic farming is gentle way of retiring farmland. So European governments can pacify farmers while appearing in tune with public demand for more natural food. In the fact organic methods require more labor and land than conventional ones to get the same yields is a good thing to a farmer in aural Mozambique it is a disaster, so starved and erupt yields so low that there simply is not enough organic matter to put back into the soil.

Mrs. Peters

 

Mrs. Peters was 80 and leant on a stick

I used to carry her basket at from the shop

One day she showed mea bottle she had bought

The label said; one she of this will take 20 years off your life.

 

She hobbled up the step into her house

Next time I saw her, she was walking rain-rod straight

Her stick was gone

She waved to me

That Sunday I went for a stroll in the park

Mrs. Peters was sitting in bench near the gate wearing an

elegant dress and scarf

 

She looked about 40

The following week I met her in the park again

She was dressed in high jeans and a sweater

I sat down next to her and took her hand

I asked her to the cinema

She said she wanted to go and change

She said she’d meet me in the park in an hour’s time

I came back in an hours nobody there

I went to her house and hammered on the door

No answer

A handshake, a hug, a bow, or a pat on the back?

 

My name is Alice. L went to the United States on my last holiday.

I met so many people and went to so many places there. The States is a really big country. L found a different greeting custom there. In the United States, people shake hands when they are fist introduced. Friends and family members often kiss or hug on the cheek when they see each other. In this situation, men often kiss woman but not other men.

I met a new friend there and his name is Son Ming Sun. he came from Korea and was also on holiday. He stayed next to our hotel room. He told me that Korean has a different greeting custom too. Men bow slightly; the family name came firs, then the first name.

Most of all, we had a really good time together and keep e-mailing to each other.

Train fare Evasion

 

I believe that ignorance can lead to guilty feeling. It was early in the morning when I stepped on the platform of Guilford railway station. I wanted to buy a-one-way ticked to London, but the counter was still closed. I walked to the ticket vending machines but they accepted only cons which I didn’t have enough. Without any ticket, I got into the train and sat in the front seat. The wagon was quiet and, in fact, I was the only passenger. A train in spector appeared look at me, and to my surprise, kept walking to the rear. I began to feel uneasy due to the failure to buy a ticket. When the train stopped at Wimbled on station, I looked out the window. A big poster on the station wall said, “Those found without a valid ticket will be fined £30.in the remaining time of the journey, I was worried it the inspector would go back and pull mean. Eventually, the train reached London Central and I managed to walk out the station without validating a ticket. From that moments on, I could not forget my ignorance and always though that a should have bought a ticket to save me from uncomfortable feeling.

My Graduated

 

When I was 21, I went to England to study physics. At that time, I knew English quite well because I had studied it for nearly ten years. I had already finished my studies at our University. So I knew quite a lot about physics; in fact, I had got first class honors in my B. Sc. Examination.

I arrived in England in October, I had never been abroad, se everything in England interested me very much. When I had found my college, and when I had put my luggage in my room. I went out to see Cambridge. I had never seen such a beautiful city before. I was soon lost. After I had walked around for an hour, I decided to ask a policeman the way. I found one and told him that I had lost my way. He was very helpful. He told me they way to my collage. During the past hour I had walked round in a circle, and I was quite neat it again! I had never lost my way before, and said to my self, I will never lost it again, I will get a map of Cambridge.
