Bicycle, a Wonderful Machine
Lorna B. Castillo, et.al.

Bicycles Today
Do you have a bicycle? How does it look like? How will you describe
a bicycle? The bicycles today that we see are light, safe, and fast. One
can exercise using them. Young and old people enjoy riding bicycles.

Bicycles Before
But do you know that bicycles a long,
long time ago were different? They were
heavy and slow.
They were dangerous to ride. They were
made of wood. Their wheels were made of
wood, too. One should push the bicycle
forward so it cold run.
 Later on, inventors added foot pedals. Then a front wheel was
added, it was much larger than the back wheel. As years passed,
other inventors improved the bicycle as we see it now. Today, it is
safe and comfortable to ride.
Cyclists all over the world enjoy it. Let’s thank the inventors
who did all these changes.
It is a wonderful machine used for transportation and for
exercise.
Safe Bike Ride
Bike riding is a lot of fun. But sometimes accidents happen. What
must we do to avoid this? How can we safely ride a bicycle? Wear
bike helmets to have a safe ride. Always wear this even if you are
going for a short ride. Your bike helmet should fit you properly. Ask
your Dad and Mom to get one that fits your head. A bike helmet has
straps. These should always be fastened.

There are other safety rules that your Dad

and Mom can help you follow.
• Make sure your seat, handlebars, and wheel
fit tightly.
• Check the chain of the bicycle. Oil it
regularly.
• Check the brakes to be sure they are
working well.
• Check also the tires. Check if these have
enough air.
Are you ready to ride a bike now?

Puppets as Actors
Susan Jan (an excerpt)

Puppets can bring great joy not only to kids, but also to adults, all
over the world. Puppets were first introduced to the world of
entertainment thousands of years ago. It originated from Greece as the
Greeks then were known to be fond of theatrical presentations. Though
they enjoyed theater, they found supporting the actors financially
rather expensive, so that they turned to the use of puppets in plays.
They soon discovered that puppets were just as able as actors to
elicit positive response from the audience. So, they continued to
patronize the use of puppets in stage shows and presentations. Soon
stage puppet shows became many people’s favorite pastime.

Safety Tips in Bike Riding

1. You should wear a bike helmet and it should fit you properly.
2. A bike helmet has straps and they should always be fastened.
3. The chain must be oiled and the brakes must be checked
regularly.

These sentences have two simple sentences. They are called

COMPOUND sentences.
In our examples, the simple sentences are connected by the word
AND. “And” is a conjunction that connects similar ideas. We can also
use OR or BUT. “Or” is used to show choices. “But” is used to show
opposite ideas.
Examples:
1. Liza likes biking and Ted enjoys skateboarding.
2. Given a chance the girls will wear the red helmets or
they will borrow the blue helmets of the boys.
3. The brothers want to ride a bike but it has started
raining.

Sock Puppets
Written by Liza Webber

You can make a puppet. It is easy to do. Get some old socks.
You will need markers and cotton balls. You will also need
string and glue. Put a sock on your hand. The toe of the sock is
the face. Glue cotton balls to the outside to make a lamb. Use
markers to draw a face. You can make people, too. You can
even make yourself. Put a few cotton balls inside. Wrap a
string around it and tie a knot. This will make the neck. Draw
your face and some clothes. Once you have people and animals,
you can put on a puppet show.

• What did we just do?

We identified the steps in doing something. This is giving “Steps in a
Process.”
 Remember
What does Step in a Process mean?

The word “process” means a way of doing something.

The steps is the order in which you complete the process.
• FOR EXAMPLE, if you want to wash your clothes,
first you should put the detergent in the water then you
put the laundry in, and finally you turn the washing
machine on.
Why are Steps in a Process an important reading strategy?

They help us understand how to follow directions when we

are completing a task. They also help us to understand a
character’s actions in a story.
 Remember:

How do we find Steps in a Process to help us understand

what we are reading?

Look for sequence words like first, next, then,

after, before, last, or finally. Think about the
words that answer WHEN. Decide the task that
needs to be completed. Look for the actions that
need to be done to finish a task.
 Remember

 Process means a way of doing

something
 Steps show the order in which you
complete the process.
 Following the steps in a process is
important because it helps us
complete the task.
