ANOTHER APRIL:

THINK IT THROUGH:

1- WHAT IS THE TERRAPIN DOING AS GRANDPA LEAVES?
The terrapin reaction as Grandpa leaves was twisted his wrinkled neck without moving his big body, poking his head deeper into the April wind holding one eye on Grandpa shining in the sinking sunlight.

2- GRANDPA CALLS THE TERRAPIN HIS "OLD FRIEND". WHAT DO YOU THINK HE AND THE TERRAPIN HAVE IN COMMON?
I think he and the terrapin have in common is the age because,the terrapin has spent the winters under a smokehouse for fifteen years and they had seen the Aprils pass like Grandpa had seen them and if he enjoyed them like Grandpa was enjoying that April.


3- HAS THE BOY'S ATTITUDE TOWARD HIS GRANDFATHER CHANGED? SUPPORT YOUR OPINION WITH EXAMPLES.
The boy's attitude toward his grandfather changed wondering how his grandfather keep that close relationship with the same terrapin for fifteen years. Moreover, the boy got a surprise as hearing his grandfather talking with the turtle that the terrapin has been eating tomatoes from his grandpa's garden for fifteen years and the grandfather talking with the same terrapin understanding his expression as grandpa's speaks with him.

NEW TECHNOLOGY:

NEW TECHNOLOGY NOW PLAYS A PART IN ALL OUR LIVES:

There have been some dramatic changes the past few years ( e.g. electricity, space exploration, computer advancement, car transport, and medical advances). Moreover, significant changes seems likely in the coming future, especially in the following three areas: electricity, space exploration, and medical changes.

Important changes has been developed in Electricity in the past few decades (e.g. People first discovered how to make and control electricity in the 1880s. Before that time there were no electric lights, electric refrigerators, TV sets) This is still likely to be a major are of change in the coming decades: e.g. Use a microwave oven, where it cooks food in about 3 or 5 minutes depending on what type of food. Also inventors immediately began to create machines that could use it and people don't have to write by hand anymore just simply typing on a computer.


Significant changes space exploration has change our life's rapidly now scientific people are making nation’s space programs for decades to come. During this event, important topics such as the lunar exploration strategy, robotic and human collaboration, launch systems and operations, science, opportunities for international participation, and commercial opportunities.

Changes have been taken place over the last few years in medical changes now scientific has discovered new technology to save people from illness that before no one could save or do anything for it. For example, now there are inventing a cure for cancer deceases to people who suffered from it.

In conclusion, I believe and think that technology will change our lives in the next century in the areas of electricity, space exploration, and medical changes.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE:

There have been dramatic technological changes over the past 100 years changes have been taken place in the three main areas. For example, electricity, motorized transport and space exploration. Further dramatic change seems likely to in the following three areas: car technology; camera technology; alternative energy sources.

Significant changes car technology has developed rapidly in the past few decades. For the past 28 years the battery cauterized devices, that replaced keys, rely on weak radio signals emitted by tiny transmitters the active a car's door lock motors. The transmitters had a range of 15 feet, although, trees or wall could block the signal. This is still likely to be a major area of change in the coming decades: e.g. car engines uses both internal combustion engine and electric motor for running the car intelligently. The electronic system decides when to run the car on electric motor alone, when to run it on both electric motor and engine, when to run it on gasoline alone and when to use motor as a generator and convert kinetic energy from the wheels into electricity to charge the battery camera.

Camera technology astounding changes consumers more easily and better by all digital cameras have a built in computer, and all of them record images electronically. Also consumers can just charge the camera and use it for the rest of the day. Furthermore, they have a ship that can have a thousand of memory also it has video tape.

A major challenge facing the world at the end of the 20th century= global warming resulting from man-made pollution. It is likely that alternative energy sources will soon be exploited more seriously solar, wind and wave energy. Nuclear energy Perhaps we will abandon high-speed vehicles and accept slower, more energy- efficient ones.Even though, there are already inventing flying car in the air without using gasoline by using the wind.

To conclude, we can expect major changes in the areas of car technology, camera technology and energy use.

POEM

My favorite color is Purple:


I walk into a purple garden
the place is magical and free
in the morning all the purple
flowers are like a rainbow
moving as wind
the grass is violet, the sky
is blue purple defines every tree



I walk into a purple garden there
are purple flowers that smell like
grapes and a swamp of violet waters
sound trickle into my ears

I walk into a purple graden a streak
of purple runs across the sky I hear my
sister whisper say it was a fairy passing by

I walk into a purple garden on violet
sod I lie my head but later, of course I
awake in my bed.

ESSAY WRITING

There are variety of activities people can do during the day. In general, everyone has his or her own preferences on spending time on something that they enjoy. The activity subject is flexible and is easily adapted to people's environment. The activities have many ways of distractions and entertaintments.

The activities are the same by students spending their free time in something that they like to do and enjoy it at the same time. In addition, they share different experiences and each one of them learn from each other. Such as, sports, games, drawings, shopping, and studing. However, the activities are different since some students like to spend time on what they prefer or like to do for their entertaintment. Some like prefer to go to the library and relax searching for information on the computer while some students like to go shopping to the stores having fun with their friends.

The activity that I like the best is the library because, I can get benefits from it by reading books to improve my learning skills and grammar so I can speak English better and more. Furthermore, I can ask for help from a friend or a teacher in the library on any homework or project that I have to do. For example, if I need help in a math problem, I can ask for help and they will teach me how to do it.

To conclude, there are plenty of activities that people can do during the day depending on their own preferences of spending their free time on things that they like to do.
