A kangaroo is an animal found only in Australia. It has a smaller relative, called a wallaby,
which lives on the Australian island of Tasmania and in New Guinea.
Kangaroos eat grass and plants.They have short front legs, but very long and strong back
legs and a tail. These are used for sitting up and for jumping. Kangaroos have been known
to make forward jumps of over eight meters, and leap across fences more than three meters
high. They can also run at speeds of over 45 kilometers per hour.
The largest kangaroos are the Great grey kangaroo and the Red Kangaroo. Adult grows to
a length of 1.60 meters and weighs over 90 kilos.
Kangaroos are marsupials. This means that the female kangaroo has an external pouch on
the front of her body. A baby kangaroo is very tiny when it is born, and it crawls at once
into this pouch where it spends its first five months of life.
Jack brought them happily. When he told his mother about this, his mother became so
angry that she threw the beans out of the window.
When Jack woke up in the morning, he felt the sun shining into a part of his room but all
the rest was quite dark and shady.
So he jumped to the window. What did he see? The beanstalk grew up quite close past
Jack's window. He opened the window and jumped to the beanstalk which ran up just like
a big ladder.
He climbed ... and climbed till at last he reached the sky. While looking around, he saw a
very huge castle. He was very amazed.
Then Jack walked along the path leading to the castle. There was a big tall woman on the
doorstep. Jack greeted her and asked for the giantess mercy to give him breakfast, because
he felt very hungry. Although the giantess grumbled at first, finally she gave Jack a hunk
of bread and cheese and a jug of milk.
Jack hadn't finished when the whole house, began to tremble with the noise of someone's
coming. "Oh! It's my husband!" cried the giantess. "What on earth shall I do?"

On the other hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried
for many years to allow the radioactivity to die away: Furthermore, although it is reliable,
a lot of money has to be spent on safety because if it does go wrong, a nuclear accident can
be a major disaster.
People are increasingly concerned about this. In the 1990's nuclear power was the fastest
growing source of power in many parts of the world. In 2005, it was the 2nd slowest-
growing.
Will has to deal with constant burglaries at his new office. One night, he saw Miro trying to
break into the building. He chased Miro to his run down apartment block and watched him
return home to his mother, Amira, a Bosnian immigrant who makes a living tailoring
clothes. Soon, Will 'meet' Amira and they begin an affair. And Amira learns that Will
holds the key of her son's future. How far will this mother go to protect her son? Breaking
and Entering is a very interesting film, it is almost entirely character driven. Tis is not a
bad thing although in the film we are exposed to a story or action driven.
Anthony Minghella, the director, creates some of the most believable, interesting
characters these actors have ever played. It is almost painful to watch them on their
journey. Each of the characters makes decisions affecting how their lives will play out, or
change and these decisions and actions affect the story. The characters aren't reacting to
the story. They are changing it.
