In te g ra tin g q u o te s
The first tim e a source is introduced in an article, you should use that
source’s full name and title. After this initial reference, use the last name
only. For example:
“The swine flu vaccine is an incredible advance in modern m edicine,” said
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
When introducing a direct quote, always use the verb “said” and never any
other verbs such as “explained,” “w hispered,” etc. It is also more common
to use the form at “XXX said” instead of “said XXX.” For example:
“The housing crisis is growing out of con tro l,” Bernanke said.
Even when inform ation from a source is not used in a direct quote and is
paraphrased instead, it still must be related to that source. For example:
Bernanke said the crisis is probably over.
The crisis will most likely begin to go down in six to eight months, Bernanke
said.

Those who have inform ation have the world. For a long time, these words
had the meaning: if you are inform ed, you can take active actions. One
of the authors of the phrase is Francis Bacon, who said, “ Knowledge is
power” . But these days, in the period of active developm ent of inform ation
technologies, these words have a new meaning: we are not passive; we
play an active role in the developm ent of the new age. We can see the
first steps of the new age in the developm ent of inform ation technologies
in all parts of human life.

Probably, you can’t wait fo r the day you can go to the store and
easily (and cheaply) buy a robot to clean your house, wait on
you and do whatever you want. We know that day is a long way
off, but some high-tech companies have already developed some
pretty robots that make us feel like the future is here already.
Sofia is a humanoid-like robot that can hold a conversation. This robot has
appeared in several TV programm es. Sofia officially lives in Saudi Arabia
and she was given a title “ Innovation Cham pion” by the United Nations.
Sofia can answer many kinds of questions and she is learning too. Is she
an image of the future?
Starship technologies have developed this local robot designed to quickly
take parcels to a place which is farther than 3 km. This wheeled self
driving bot is used instead of flying objects. Will the postal packets be
only carried by flying and wheeled robots?
. x Don’t w orry about carrying your own bags. Gita Bot will help you! This small
robot is designed to follow you around while y o u ’re out and about in town
or on the way to work. The bot can carry a big rucksack or two shopping
bags, so it’s an ideal companion fo r a quick trip down to the shops.
Romeo is a robot which is as big as a human. It was designed and built to
assist the elderly people because it is difficult fo r old people to take care of
themselves. This robot is able to open doors, clim b stairs and hold objects
while doing its care duties. In the future, this clever bot may help elderly
people to stay in their own homes longer before moving into care homes fo r
old people.

For hundreds of years printed books are bought and sold. They have not
changed very much until now. The idea of an electronic book reader with
a screen instead of pages has become reality. Lots of E-book Reader pro
grams were produced and millions of e-books were downloaded from web
resources. Nowadays, there are about 725,000 e-books on Amazon and
thousands more are added every year. So what is the future of books? Will
printed books be com pletely replaced by e-books? They are not replaced
yet. But, maybe, very soon there will be no printed books in shops at all.
Perhaps they will only be in museums!
“Coram Boy” (the w riter is Jamila Gavin) is a book about the life of people
in the 18th century. A man called Otis and his son collect unwanted babies
from mothers and promise to send them to a good orphanage, the Coram
Hospital. However, Otis is a dishonest man and quite often these babies
die. The book also tells us about two boys who d o n ’t have parents: Toby
and Aaron, and what they decide to do.
It is a book full of love, unfriendly people and it is very exciting. The
chapters are about the right size, and to anyone who finds it slow at the
beginning, I say just keep on reading, you w on’t be disappointed.
“ Bitter Fruit” (the author is Brian Keeney) is about Rebecca and her
family. Rebecca is a teenager girl. She often disagrees with her parents.
Once on a very bad day she tells her father that she hates him. These are
the last words she says before he dies. This is the story of how she lives
on after her fa th e r’s death. The beginning of the book is slightly too long,
and I d id n ’t want to read on. However, it gets better and by the end I liked
it very much.

To his surprise, the face in his portrait

A dvantages o f B io fu e ls
1) Biofuels can be used with all kinds of engines and in most conditions.
This keeps the engine use longer and needs less care, which saves money.
Moreover, they are becoming cheaper in the future.
2) Biofuels are made from many different sources, such as plants grown
for the fuel, and waste from crops. Fossil fuels will end sometime in the
near future. Waste from crops and plants are renewable and are not likely
to run out soon. These crops can be planted again and again.
3) Fossil fuels produce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These
greenhouse gases cause the planet to warm. The burning of coal and oil
increases the temperature and causes global warming. To reduce green
house gases, people around the world are using biofuels. Scientists say
that biofuels reduce greenhouse gases up to 65 percent.
4) Not every country has much oil. If a country starts using biofuels, this
country will be able to develop its economy. More jobs will be created with
a biofuel industry. It will keep economy strong.
5) Since biofuels are made of renewable resources, they are cleaner
fuels. It means that they produce less dangerous waste and cause less
pollution to the planet.

The first people who created plays were the ancient Greeks in
700 BC. The ancient Greeks invented two types of plays. Tra
gedies always had a sad ending, while comedies always had
a happy ending. Both kinds of plays are still used today. The
chorus sang and danced as part of a play. Only men played
in the theatre. They wore masks. The masks were different for
each type of play. The best known ancient Greek playwrights
were Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. Some of their plays
are still performed today. Sophocles wrote 123 plays! These
plays were performed outdoors in large open air theatres, so that up to
15,000 people could see them. There were contests among the playwrights
and the winner got a prize. The audience was men, women and children.

is understood. So, it is 2020 AD, but all that
you say is 2020. If you have a date in BC or
BCE (Before Common Era) and you want to
find out how long ago it was, you just add it to
the current year. So, if we want to know how
long ago 1000 BC was, it was 3020 years ago

Learn how to make a sock puppet... it is so easy to make.
Firstly, find a sock that you want to use and find some material, scissors,
buttons, string and some cardboard.
Next cut an oval out of the cardboard and glue pink or black or red
material on to it or use markers or paint. Let it dry completely and then
fold the oval in half. It is a mouth.
Cut out a red tongue, as in the picture below. Fold over the tongue and
then glue it to the inside fold of the oval.
Now place your hand in the sock....and find where the comfortable place
for your hand to open and close it. Then glue the oval there for the mouth.
Next sew or glue buttons for eyes. Also glue string to the top of the sock
puppet for hair. Add your own details. Wasn’t that fun?!
