Big cities

Advantages of Living in a Big City Do you live in a big city? It is said that living in big cities is expensive because of the high living cost. There are also pollution and traffic problems that make living in big cities unpleasant. However, many people enjoy living in big cities because they offer convenience and countless options for entertainment. Many big cities already have good public transportation systems, which make it easy for the citizens to go anywhere around the city. This also reduces and helps overcome the problem of traffic jams that often occur at peak times. With the convenience of public transportation, the citizens do not have to drive everywhere and can save money as they do not have to pay for parking charges. Staying healthy is everybody’s concern and in big cities you can find the best possible medical care for any diseases, especially the severe ones. Moreover, compared to rural areas, access to medical treatment is easier because there are always clin

Halloween (Unit 3)

On the 31 st of October, American and British citizen celebrate Halloween. Halloween means “holy” (hallow) “een” (evening). This is the evening before the Christian holy day of All Saints Day. On all Saints Day, Christians remember the saints, but Halloween is even older than Christianity. Before Christianity, people in Europe believed that on the 31 st of October ghosts of dead people came back. To scare the ghosts, people dressed like devils and were very noisy.   They also made big fines to keep the ghosts away. Later, people did not believe in ghosts, but they kept the day of Halloween for fun. Immigrants came from Europe to America and brought with them the custom of Halloween. Halloween has some strange symbols. One symbol is jack-o-lantern in the window. The jack-o-lantern is to scare the ghosts. People cut the pumpkin, throw away all the inside, and cut a face scary face on it. Then, they put a candle inside of it. Today in the USA, Halloween is very popular with

Choosing a musical instrument

Many people would like to learn how to play a musical instrument, but they are put off by one big problem: what to play? Here are a few questions to help you decide. Many instruments are versatile, but some are more suited to certain types of music. Although there is some classical repertoire for the saxophone, for example, people associate it more with jazz, and it is not a permanent feature of many orchestras. Some instruments may lend themselves better than others to the music you like, so consider this before you start. Think about your long-term future as a musician. If you want to play with other people, choose a practical instrument for that. The initial attraction of playing a dazzling solo instrument like trumpet, violin, flute or lead guitar might fade when you realise how many other people are competing with you to get the main part with the same instrument. If you want to play rock music, there will always be a demand for bass players or drummers, and if you fanc

Sloths (Unit 8)

It's a good thing sloths don't have to go to school. They'd never make it on time. These drowsy tree-dwellers sleep up to 20 hours a day! And even when they are awake, they barely move at all. In fact, they're so incredibly sluggish, algae actually grows on their fur.  Sloths live in the tropical forests of Central and South America. With their long arms and shaggy fur, they resemble monkeys, but they are actually related to armadillos and anteaters. They can be 2 to 2.5 feet (0.6 to 0.8 meters) long and, depending on species, weigh from 8 to 17 pounds (3.6 to 7.7 kilograms).  There are two main species of sloth, identified by whether they have two or three claws on their front feet. The two species are quite similar in appearance, with roundish heads, sad-looking eyes, tiny ears, and stubby tails. Two-toed sloths are slightly bigger and tend to spend more time hanging upside-down than their three-toed cousins, who will often sit upright in the fork of a tree branch
