weightless and sylph-like on stage. This is called

weightless and sylph-like when

II. Assumption and Conclusion
6. In Feng Shui, clutter is a big No-No. Clutter is
consists of old toys, clothes, old magazines and
everything old which are no longer used. It
hinders the free circulation of the fresh energy
inside the house stale and inactive, making the
residents of the house sickly and less aggressive.
To avoid more unlucky situations in the homes,
clutter should be cleared once it starts to pile up.
This is good Feng Shui.
What conclusion can we make?
1. Clutter should be stored in one room of
the house for good Feng Shui.
2. Old books and old magazines should be
arranged in one place.
3. Old toys should be recycled.
4. Clutter is inauspicious in the homes.
7. As the popularity of tattoos continues to grow, so
does the concern about potential risks. Some
risks, such as the spread of infections through the
use of unsterilized needles, have long been
known. But what isn’t clear is the safety of tattoo
inks. Getting inked may have long-term
consequences beyond just having to live with
your ex-girlfriend’s name on your bicep for
decades.
What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
1. Having tattoos is definitely dangerous
to one’s health.
2. Parents are advised to disallow their
children to have tattoos on their bodies.
3. Tattoo inks are not safe.
4. Having tattoos may pose danger to
one’s health.
8. The games we used to play when we were young
have been sidelined by modern gadgets.
Nowadays, we no longer see children and teens
playing piko, tumbang preso, luksong baka,
patintero, and other enjoyable games our parents
used to play. The young generation of today is so
hooked on gadgets that they can even have no
time to talk to each other during their free time.
This is very unhealthy according to some social
scientists.
