How to Make Scrambled Eggs

Scrambled eggs are a quick and easy light meal. You need two fresh eggs, milk, butter, salt, and
pepper. You also need a mixing bowl, a tablespoon, a fork, and a frying pan. First, break the eggs
into the bowl. Then add about three tablespoons of milk, the salt, and the pepper. Beat the
mixture with a fork until it is well mixed. Next, melt a small piece of butter in the frying pan over
low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, and let it heat through. Then turn up the heat slightly.
As the eggs cook, push them around gently with the fork. When the scrambled eggs are done to
perfection, they should be light and fluffy. In just a few minutes, you can sit down and enjoy your
delicious meal.
Exercise 2 HIGHLIGHT the changes that you have made.

A Traditional Hindu Wedding

A traditional Hindu wedding lasts all day and well into the night. 0n the day of the ceremony,
one of the groom's brothers goes to the bride's home with gifts. These gifts seal the union of the
two families. Then the groom arrives at the bride's home with his family and his friends. Dressed in
rich clothing and wearing a special headdress. He usually arrives in a white car or on a white horse,
but sometimes he rides a white elephant. Then the wedding ceremony takes place. During the
ceremony, the couple sits around a sacred fire under a special canopy. A Hindu priest performs the
ceremony by chanting special wedding prayers. After that, the bride's dress is tied to the groom's
scarf, and they walk around the fire seven times. The groom makes seven promises. To make his
wife happy, to share his feelings with her, to share his possessions with her, to be faithful, to
respect her family, and to make her a part of his life. The seventh promise is to keep the other six
promises! The party begins after the ceremony. Musicians provide entertainment. Then a feast of
traditional Indian food is served. During the party, the bride, the groom, and their guests play some
traditional games. The party may go on until midnight. Everyone is pretty tired at the end.
