MORE HOLIDAYS THAN WERE SHOWN ON THE SCHOOL
CALENDAR. HE WAS OFTEN ABSENT WHEN A TEST WAS
SCHEDULED BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT HE DID NOT REVIEW
FOR THE TEST.

 A VACATION SPENT BY THE SEA IS DIFFERENT FROM A
VACATION SPENT ON A MOUNTAIN. IN BOTH PLACES, ONE
WILL LIVE CLOSE TO NATURE. IN BOTH PLACES,THE AIR WILL
BE HEALTHY AND INVIGORATING. BUT THERE ARE SOME
ELEMENTS WHICH MAKES THE PLACES DIFFERENT. BY THE
SEA, ONE IS LULLED TO SLEEP BY THE SOUND OF THE
WAVES. IN THE MOUNTAIN, ONE SLEEPS TO THE RUSTLING
OF THE LEAVES AND THE CREAKING OF THE BRANCHES AS
THE WIND BLOWS…

1.I HAVE A CAT WHOSE NAME IS MING. LIKE OTHER
CATS, SHE LIKES TO CATCH BIRDS. SHE LIKES TO SIT
ON MY LAP AND HAVE ME PET HER BY STROKING
HER ON THE HEAD. BUT SHE HAS SOME BAD
HABITS. SHE LIKES TO STEAL FOOD FROM THE
KITCHEN, SUCH AS A LEG OF CHICKEN OR EVEN A
WHOLE FISH. WHEN SHE STOLE A WHOLE FISH
ONCE, OUR COOK WAS ANGRY AT HER.

BMX BIKES AND MOUNTAIN BIKES ARE BUILT IN
DIFFERENT WAYS. BMX BIKES ARE GREAT FOR
TRICKS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LOW, LIGHT FRAME
AND SHORT TIRES. MOUNTAIN BIKES HAVE A HIGH,
HEAVY FRAME AND THICK TIRES. THIS MAKES

SURFACES.

AWAY FROM HOME AND CAN’T FIND THEIR WAY BACK.
SECONDLY, IN SOME CASES, A DOG’S OWNER BECOMES
TOO OLD OR SICK TO CARE FOR THE ANIMAL. ONE DAY,
THE DOG IS FOUND LOOKING FOR FOOD ON THE STREET
AND IS TAKEN TO A SHELTER…
