A Ghost ======================================================================= Article #1 I Want to Dye my Hair Green Many of my friends have dyed their hair different colors. I don't mean normal hair colors like brown or black. My friends have dyed their hair orange, purple and blue. I told my mother that I would like to dye my hair green. I explained to my mother that I would only use food coloring. The green would not last forever. My mother said that dyeing your hair was a silly fad. She said that I would not look good with green hair. I said that if I couldn't dye my hair green, maybe I could get a nose ring. My mother said "no." I said that maybe a tattoo on my arm would be nice. My mother said "no way." My mother said that she did some crazy things when she was a young girl. She said that she used to iron her hair to make it straight. That sounds quite boring to me. My friend Joan came over. Her hair is dyed bright pink. My father said "nice hair, Joan." I don't think that he really meant it. My mother says that when I am an adult I can dye my hair whatever crazy color I like, but for now she would like me to leave my hair its natural color. I tried to tell her that all my friends were doing it. My mother asked, "if all your friends were jumping off a cliff, would you do it too?" I said "no." I think I'll have to wait to have green hair, but maybe by the time I'm old enough to dye my hair green, I won't want it that color. My mother says that fads change all the time. One day something might be popular, and the next day it's not in style at all.

Evolution and Creation In School ======================================================================= Article #1 Louis Pasteur Louis Pasteur was one of the greatest scientists of all time. Pasteur made very important discoveries in biology and chemistry, and the techniques he developed helped greatly to develop medical science and the agricultural and food industries. Pasteur was born in a small town in France during the year 1822. When he was a young man, Pasteur studied science at a university in the city of Paris. He soon did some excellent work in chemistry, and later began his famous study of germs. Pasteur was one of the first scientists to understand that many diseases could be caused by extremely small, invisible organisms. Only a few other scientists had believed this before Pasteur. He advised doctors to wash their hands thoroughly before treating patients. Pasteur also demonstrated that life forms did not arise spontaneously. His research confirmed the idea, developed by previous scientists, that a living organism would not appear unless other individuals of its kind were present. One of Pasteur's most important contributions was a technique that has been named after him: pasteurization. Pasteurization kills the germs that are found in drinks such as milk or beer. Because of Pasteur's technique, people are no longer infected with diseases by drinking these liquids. Just as important as pasteurization Level 4 < Contents > 1. Come to the Fair 2. Hiroshima 3.

At the end of the harvest, people from rural areas have come together to celebrate. Usually, these fairs take the form of a competition regarding the best of all farm products of that year. Depending on the part of the country, and its most important crop, fall fairs can begin as early as August or as late as November. They usually last several days. When the United States and Canada were organized, they were divided into small units called counties. Larger units were called states or provinces. Many of the best-known fairs are county fairs or state fairs. There are also smaller local fairs, and larger ones too, like the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto, Ontario. Since these fairs are usually annual events, many have developed permanent buildings over the years. Most of these are large barn-like structures. These buildings are used to display new products for farm life, such as tractors, home furnishings and water systems. Several barns are usually necessary to house all the horses, cows, pigs, goats, sheep, chickens and other animals in competition. There must also be room to display all the vegetables, berries and fruits in competition. Finally, there is space for handicrafts, artwork, baked goods, and jams and jellies. Usually, there is a grandstand, which is a stage with wooden seats around it. Here entertainers perform for an audience during the fair. Country and western singers are usually popular at fairs, but so are comedians, clowns, dancers and musicians. There may also be other contests such as a beauty competition for queen of the fair, tests of strength for the men or pie-eating events. Most fairs also have a racetrack, which is used for horse racing, or, in some cases, If I Die Young The Band Perry *** If I die young, ______________ [1] me in satin _________ ___________ ____________ [2] on a, bed of roses ______________ [3] me in the river, at ____________ [4] __________ _____________ _____________ [5] with the words of a love song *** Uh oh, uh oh Lord make me a _______________ [6], I'll shine down on my mother She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my ______________ [7], oh and Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby “The ____________ ____________ [8] of a short life, well I've had, just enough time” Repeat *** Repeat “” And I'll be wearing ______________ [9], when I come into your _________________ [10] I'm as green as the ring on my little, cold ________________ [11], I've Never known the lovin' of a man But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, there's a Boy here in town who says he'll love me forever, Who would have thought forever could be severed by Repeat “” So put on your best boys and I'll wear my ________________ [12] What I never did is done A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a ________________ [13] They're worth so much more after I'm a goner And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin' _______________ [14] when you're dead how people start listenin' Repeat *** Uh oh (uh, oh) The ballad of a _______________ [15] (uh, oh) Go with _________________ [16] and love Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh Repeat “” VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí 100 luyện nghe Tiếng Anh Level (Phần 1) Article #1 First Snow Fall Today is November 26th It snowed all day today The snow is beautiful The snow finally stopped My sister and I are excited My Mom doesn't like the snow My Mom has to shovel the drive way My sister and I get to play I put on my hat and mittens My Mom puts on my scarf My Mom zippers my jacket My sister puts on her hat and mittens My Mom puts on her scarf My Mom zippers her jacket My sister and I go outside We begin to make a snow man My Mom starts to shovel the snow My sister and I make snow angels My sister and I throw snowballs It starts to snow again We go inside for hot chocolate Article #2 Jessica's First Day of School Today is Jessica's first day of kindergarten Jessica and her parents walk to school Jessica's Mom walks with her to her classroom Jessica meets her teacher His name is Mr Parker The school bell rings at 8.45 A.M Jessica hugs and kisses her Mom goodbye Jessica's Mom says "I love you."
