Summer in England is the better season of all. The sky is clear and blue. The sun shines bright. But it is not pleasant to go out at noon because of the sun dazzles our eyes. The air is generally dry. It is very pleasant to take a walk in the morning when the country is cool, or again on the evening when the sunshine is not so heat, and the moon raises above the horizon. How beauty it is in summer in the countryside. There high in the sky, there has the moon which sheds it’s silver light together with thousand of little stars twinkling and twinkling.

The participants gathered at the yard in front of the Culture House at 7. 30 am. After listening to a brief speech given by the organizer, they started a walk around the local area for about two hours.

They knew only about themselves and their environment (the land around their homes). Their knowledge of geographical things likes mountains and rivers are limited. They did not travel very far. Sometimes they knew about nearby people and communicated with them. They sent messages in simple ways. Early signals for communication included smoke from fires and the sounds of drums.

Insides, an evergreen tree is usually placed in the corner of the Living room. Children and their parents wrap string of colorful lights around the tree, they hang ornaments on the branches. A star or angle often crowns the top. Careful – wrapped gifts are placed beneath. Outside, families often string lights around the windows and wind light around trees and shrubs in the front yard. As the families decorate their homes, they often put on Christmas record. Almost every family has at least one favourite album or compact dics.

Two popular traditions at Christmas are decorating the home and singing the Christmas carol. The home is the center of the Christmas celebration. Inside, an evergreen tree is usually placed in the corner of the Living room. Children and their parents wrap string of colourful light around the tree, they hang ornaments on the branches. A star or angle often crowns the top. Careful – wrapped gifts are placed beneath. Outside, families often string lights around the windows and wind light around the trees and shrubs in the front yard. As the families decorate their homes, they often put on Christmas record. Almost every family has at least one favorite album or compact disc. School children of all ages perform Christmas concerts for their parents and communities. On Christmas’s Eve, family members gather around Christmas tree to sing traditional songs such as Jingle bells and Silent night and then give presents to each other.

An elevator is wonderful. It is really only a small room. Rooms usually stay in one place. Elevators travel up and down all day long.

Q

Elevators are very important to us. Why? Think about a high building. May be it has twenty floors. Maybe it has fifty or more. In New York, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center was the Empire State building which had only 102 stories. But they are still much lower than the 137 – story building in Chicago. Who can walk up those stairs? May be people can climb them sometimes. Can someone climb thirty floors to an office every day? Can small children walk up to their apartments on the 25th floor? Can you carry foo up all those stairs? Of course, not.
D
ẠY
We can have high buildings because we have elevators. We could not have all the beautiful tall buildings in the world without elevators. They are really wonderful. Imagine the anger of two men who came back to their buildings one day to see that power was cut off and they had to climb up to the 50 th floor. It was very unlucky for them when they reached 45 th floor, they found out to their dismay that they had left their keys in the car and one of them had to walk all the way down and then up again. 1.
