The color of our eyes and our hair are family traits. How tall we are, how big or small we are, and the shape of our face are all family traits. We say that we inherit these traits from our parents. Look around you. Many people have the same color eyes or color of hair, but they all look different. It’s the special combination of all of these common traits that makes us special. No one else has the same combination of traits that we do. Are your earlobes attached to the side of your face? Or do they hang free? How do you fold your hands?

Some supermarkets also sell fruit and vegetables from small local farms. But most people think food from the garden is fresher and tastes better than food from a supermarket. Some lucky people have space to grow food in their own gardens. For example, they grow carrots, onions, and cabbages. Many other people do not have space at home, but sometimes they work together to grow food in a community garden. It’s easier than you think to grow vegetables. First you dig. Then you plant the seeds. But remember to water the plants! And you have to weed the garden sometimes. When the vegetables are ripe, they are ready to pick.a cucumber an eggplant Fae Work with a partner. What did you learn? Ask and answer. Be e they as taste fresher!

But many people prefer to eat local food from community gardens or local farms. These small local farms produce fruit, vegetables, and grains. Some of them also raise animals for milk and meat. People can have fresher food because these farmers grow it locally. What about cities? There isn’t much space to have farms. One way to grow food in a city is on a roof! In this roof garden, a class of children grew 453 kg (1,000 pounds) of vegetables in one year. The children grew cabbages, carrots, lettuce, and even strawberries! They had to water the plants and weed them, but they enjoyed the food they grew in their outside classroom.

Fresh Food or Canned Food? When you shop for food, you can buy fresh food or canned food. Which is better? I think fresh food tastes better. Fresh food is good for you. It does not have any extra salt or sugar. You know just what you are eating. But you have to wash it first because sometimes it is a little dirty. There are some positive and negative things about canned foods, too. In my opinion, canned food is more convenient because it lasts longer than fresh food. ‘Also, with canned food you can always have fruit and vegetables—even in winter. But canned food usually has extra salt or sugar, and I believe this is bad for you, Also, canned foods make more trash because you have to throw the cans away. I think fresh foods are better than canned foods. ® Write. Write about food from supermarkets and food from local farms. Describe some positive points and some Negative points about each one.

Over time, many people contributed to its development. The first bicycle was made of wood. It had two wheels but no pedals. You didn’t ride it—you walked it! It was called Boneshaker a “hobby horse” or “walking machine.” The velocipede came next. Velocipedes had pedals. seer Pedals were a good idea. With pedals, people could ride instead of walk or push their velocipedes. But velocipedes were hard to ride on cobblestone streets, and so they were : called “boneshakers, ee Later, people rode a new kind of bicycle called a “high wheeler.” It was made of metal and had a high front wheel and solid rubber tires. It was more comfortable than a boneshaker, but people could fall off easily. Women didn’t ride high wheelers because women at the time wore long skirts. They rode a machine with three wheels, called a tricycle. The next bicycle went back to two wheels of the same size. It had metal parts and pneumatic tires, and was called the “safety bicycle.” This design became the standard for modern bicycles. Then companies began to make bicycles for children. Now everyone enjoys bicycles! eur Por® Complete the sentences. 1. The hobby horse had two wheels but________pedals. 2. Velocipedes were __________ to ride on cobblestones. 3.

Many towns had one-room schoolhouses, and all student's went to the same one room. There was just one teacher, who taught all students of different ages. Att the-students-in-my-ehass-are- nine-or-ter-years-otd: Students sat on hard wooden benches in rows. My-cltss-hes-comfortable-desksonetor-each student: They copied the alphabet, numbers, and poems onto slates with chalk. They also practiced their handwriting every day, They used quill pens and ink to write neatly. I use a computer to write. They copied texts and memorized long paragraphs from the one or two books the teacher had. I don’t like to memorize things from books. When students didn’t do their work, the teacher used branches from trees to punish them. My teacher is Kind, so she doesn't use branches. Some teachers made bad students stand in a corner and wear a pointed hat called a dunce cap. Students felt ashamed, and they looked silly, too. School is very different now. © Write.

Because germs make a home in your nose, and they tickle you! Sneezing is your body's way of sending germs out of your nose. Many animals sneeze, too! What happens? Your nose doesn’t like the germs, so it sends a message to a part of your brain called the “sneeze center.” The sneeze center sends a message to your muscles. Then all your muscles push hard. Even your eyes push. That's why you close your eyes when you sneeze! You should have a tissue ready because the sneeze happens very quickly. A sneeze can travel as fast as a car! Some people sneeze when they don’t have a cold. It happens when they go out into the sunshine. They are called “photic sneezers.” Photic sneezing is an inherited trait. It comes from one of your parents. Do you know anyone who sneezes because of the sun?

Circle the words and expressions. Ice Cream Headaches Do you ever get a headache when you eat ice cream? Many people do. Why? Because your body doesn't like the cold temperature of the ice cream! Here’s what happens. The ice cream is very cold. When the ice cream touches the roof of your mouth, the nerve center doesn't like the cold. It sends a message to your brain. Then the brain sends a message to your blood vessels, and they get big very quickly. That's because they are trying to Keep your head warm. So that's why you get ice cream headaches! But they aren't serious, so don't worry! They are easy to prevent, too. Just Keep cold food and drink away from the roof of your mouth!

In my opinion, ig she is one of the best writers in the world, “cliffhanger” is about a boy called Tim. He likes TV shows and puzzles. He's very smart, too, and he's the best student in most school subjects, But he's the worst student at sports! So when his parents send him to a sports camp, he has a bad time. ? Every day at camp Tim has to play sports, and he never gets better, He hates sports, But one day he has a smart idea on how to win the game. After that, he helps his team win, and he's the most popular person at camp. Then he doesn’t want to leave! I loved this book. Jacqueline Wilson helps us remember some important things.

But corals are animals, not plants. Corals are made up of small individual animals called polyps. Polyps have soft, transparent bodies with no bones inside. What's for dinner? Polyps have a mouth, stomach, and tentacles to catch food. How polyps get food depends on where they live. Polyps lucky enough to live in warm, sunlit zones eat tiny plants called algae. In contrast, polyps that live in cold, dark zones don’t eat algae. They must find a place to live with a strong current of moving water. They use their tentacles to catch tiny animals called plankton in the water. Underwater communities. Most corals live together in huge groups called colonies. Some build a protective skeleton around themselves. As old generations die’and new ones grow on top, polyps slowly build up coral reefs. Some are millions of years old. These beautiful reefs are home to more than 4,000 kinds of fish and thousands of other organisms. The Great Barrier Save the reefs!

Depending on the Kind of land turtle they are, the baby land turtles crawl away to live in woods, swamps, grasslands, or deserts. In contrast, the baby seq turtles crawl to the ocean to live their lives and turtle in the water. Land turtles and sea turtles look different, too. Land turtles have hard, high, round shells. When they are afraid, they hide in their shells. Sea turtles, however, have soft, flatter shells. They can't hide inside, but they can swim away really fast. When cold weather comes, land turtles dig holes in the ground and sleep all winter. They are too slow to move to warmer places.
