Colour

Color, the article is telling a story about Newton made his own rainbow. Newton very likes to study physics. He is very enjoys with it and trying to find out the mysteries of the world. If you like to know how to make your own rainbow,you can find it out in this article.


I don't like physics because there have a lot of theory which can mess me up. It easy to make me boring because i don't know what it talking about. Mathematics is my favor subject. It is more easier then physics because you don't need to remember a lot of theory. The only thing that we have to do is understands. Beside that, it more easier to get mark in exam.


Are newton a genius? Yes, is the answer for me! He invested many good thing to human. Example, lamp, discovery gravity and so on. About Newton was the person who was made his own rainbow i just knew it after reading this article. The only genius was i knew is Newton. I will tell you all next time i surfing internet to find out.

Greetings from Sydney; Canada!

Abandoned ship

Form the fourth paragraph, There was a lot of water inside the ship and the captains bed was all wet, I think there was a high waves or extreme weather made a ship sink under the water. After a period of times, the waves move the ship up and appear on the sea. There was not any survivor. That is what i thought. Basically,why the ship enter the Bay of Gibraltar can disappeared in the second. Where are the crew and passengers? Not once know!


Well, i like mystery stories. It is because their are scary, mystery,and a lot of adventure. I can got a lot of imagination when there is someone say to me. Belief or refuse to belief are all depend on me. But i wont belief it at less i experience it.

Homes

Home is the place that human lives. It is the main needs for human to survive beside food and clothes. Without home, you will out of protection and easily get hurt form extreme weather or wild animals.


After reading this acticle Homes, lighthouse is a good place for writer to do his work. There are many object, nature life , weather which can put in to his paper. writer likes his own home. My home is interesting and almost some as writer home. My home is out side city. There are a lot of tree around my home but for writer home is around by the water. At the early morning, i can hear a lot of different bird calling me up. The air is very cool and fresh same as writer home. I can cacth fish in rill or lake.


In my country, there are flat, apartment, housing area and eatate homes. The typical home we usually saw is apartment or housing area. Most of the rural residents have move out to the town or city to get a job. So there are a phenomena rural homes is being disappear.

Fat Frank

Fat Brank is Banks's nickname. He is 42 years old and a teacher from Chicago. This article saying previously he was obese people but Banks is a new now. When he was 37 he weighed 347Kg! His stomach was very large and it was difficult for him to stand up properly. He went to the doctor to council for this problem and then he started special diet for two and a half years. He lost an average of 7.8Kg a month, and he lost a total 230Kg. I can’t believable this. It was incredible that he lost this weight just by dieting.

Recently, obese people want to bigger loss their weight but usually we do not practical exercise to take care for health. We can’t get health without endurance, we can get a health with exercise.

# Obese: very or abnormally fat.
Q 1) How did Fat Frank change his diet?
A 2) Do you know anyone who has lost a lot of weight?
How did they do it?

Man's best friend

Well, first I must admit that I knew nothing regarding what are dogs are really capable of. I just consider them as normal Pets. Back in my home country Tanzania (Zanzibar), we normally consider dogs as security guards. I saw for the first time people walking dogs and some even sleep with them when I first went to India. But before that I used to see them in movies but I just consider that as part of acting.

But from this Article which is titled “Man’s best friend” I came to realize what dogs could really do though I found some of the stories hard to believe. Like the story of Laika who went to space back in 1957, Hachiko the faithful one who kept waiting for his master for 10 years at the train station and finally come Rob the parachutist. That’s was the funny one, how can a dog for a parachute! For God sake how can he land the thing!

But on the case of Arcon and Bertie, especially Bertie I deeply found it interesting and touching I can say. Cause as for Bertie it was her daily routine to help out people who are having hearing difficulties. Honestly, they should bring such dog in my home country as we have a lot of people with such difficulties and who have no one to look after them.

Lastly comes Arcon, the story is interesting but not as that of Bertie cause Arcon is just useful only in case of emergency but as for Bertie, it was her daily routine.

Cheers!

Sniff

Sniff meaning is "To inhale a short, audible breath through the nose, as in smelling something." I read a story of Joanna Smith. She can't smell. For that reason, She has some problems whereas she doesn't think it's problem. Actually, she has a problem with taste also due to she can't smell. She doesn't know the smell of rose or the smell of coffee. She doesn't know the smell of the sea or perfume. In spite of that, she says "This is normal for me. I am only unhappy when people laugh at me. They think it's funny that I can't smell."

I couldn't say like that if I in that case. People doesn't know how important to us we can smell. I never have been thinking about if I can't smell until now. We are blessed with good health and have to try to think just same people for them who can't smell just nomal as we meet them always.

Hair

Hair! what would be the first imagination in your mind after scanned the title? Is it very interesting? For me, the answer is yes.Writer was wrote about different types of hairs could carry out once humans personality,cultures,religions or fashions.Therefore,Hair can tell us a lot of indirect messages about who they are.


Well, So far i thought that messy hairs is lazies persons, colorful hairs is fashions,and designed hair is beauty.But sometimes i was wondering that messy hair styles can be assume as fashions.I was thinking that, was those hair dresser or designer out of their mind.I still can not understand why many people like weird hairstyles. On the other hand,i should give some praise to them because their are so creative.


well, hairstyles i had before was bald, short and shoulder length hair. My favorite hairstyles is bald.It is nice to be in bald because you will fell totally refreshing on the top of your head when cool air blow on it.That was really amazing and you all should have a try.

Stamps

Title Stamps is my article and is my reading homework. After finished this article, the most attractive part was the stamp name call Tre Skilling Banco only sold by few kroner in 1885 can be sold out at $1400000 in 1996.This was a huge of money. I would like to have it if i got that stemp.^^But I am really agree with habit more are base on interesting.


Actually, i dont like to collecting things.But the only things i have been collecting is comics.Hopefully all my collecttion can be sold out as many money as possible to make me become millionaire or billionaire in the future.

Banking

After readed the story banking, I more agree with second person.It is because bank have a lot of benefit such as save our money, pay rental, e-banking and so on. ALL this translation include a lot of money.Therefore, Banks cans work all those things in to the fastest and safety ways.

Isaac Newton

I read an article about Isaac Newton.

It was interesting because, the writer asking us what came first, the name of the fruit or the name of the colour?
I found this useful because The article explanined that We can understand how We can see colour.

Three words I learned are plague, split up, combination, absorbs, mysteries.

Fat Frank

Miss/Mrs Mary

I was reading regarding Fat frank and the story made me to come across two new words which are “Obese” and ” Calories”. Well it’s really good to get some new word.

Also among other things I came to realise that diet can make someone to loss a 7.8Kg in a month, well when I read that part I was shocked! Too bad the story didn’t explain in details which diet was Fat Frank doing.

But so far i thought i did know the meaning of diet but now I'm confused, is it to stop eating unhealthy food, start exercising or its some thought of a medicine? Well like i said, I’m confused!

Cheers!

Instructions

At the end of the first lesson, your teacher will give you an article to read at home.
Take your time. Read the article and the question and think about your answer.

Next, log on to the blog and start a new post. Begin like this:

I read an article about…
It was interesting because…

Then write your answer to the question.

In your second lesson, you will return the article you read and take another. This time, read the article and the first person’s answer on the blog. Then post a comment on the first person’s answer and give your opinion. Don’t worry – it isn’t necessary to agree. If you have the same opinion as the first writer, try to give another example to support your ideas.

This will continue for the whole course. Keep a note of the articles you've read in your Reading Record. This will help you to see your progress more clearly

Good luck!
