I have loved dancing ever since I can remember. It was a part of my life when I was growing up and it is still important to me now. △ What can be better than dancing to your favorite songs? I love going to clubs and discos. I can dance all night long. I never get tired of it. When I was small, I used to go to school discos. I’d also dance at the parties my parents, friends and neighbors had. I don’t think I’ll ever stop dancing. I also love looking at dancing. Ballet is beautiful. Dances from all over the world are beautiful. I think the life of a professional dancer must be a good one. One thing that always amazes me is how much children love dancing. I think dancing must be in their blood.

One day Kavya and I were playing with the racket and ball and the ball went into a Takku’s house.

Though we were scared, we went to his house and asked him if he could give us our ball.

He said “No”. We felt helpless.

Suddenly, I had an idea. There was a water tank behind the Takku’s house.

I looked at it and told Kavya, “Kavya, look at this. We can climb the water tank and jump over the gate.”

Kavya agreed, but we were both wearing skirts. We couldn’t climb with that.

“It doesn’t matter, we can see tomorrow. Don’t forget to wear pants,” said Kavya.

“Bye,” I said and went back home.

The next day I went to Kavya’s house early. We were both wearing pants.

“Best of luck,” said Kavya’s brother Vijay. He knew everything.

He said, “Shout loudly if you need me.”

We went to the water tank. “Who will climb first?” asked Kavya.

“You,” I said.

She agreed.

She climbed down into the Takku’s house. I followed her and then we were looking under a bed for the ball when we heard a noise.

It was Vijay. “Mother is calling you,” he whispered.

We hurried and took out the lost ball. But along with the ball was a ... gold bar! We quickly took both the ball and the gold bar and climbed up the water tank again. When we reached Kavya’s house, the TV was on. It was News time.

I couldn’t believe my ears when it said that 20 gold bars were stolen from a gold shop.

They showed a picture of the gold bars and it was exactly like the one we had found. We all knew it because there was a look of surprise on everyone’s face.

We quickly told the story to Kavya’s mother and she called the police.

The grizzly is the star of our little town in the mountains. Many people visit here for this kind of strong large brown bear. When a grizzly grows up, it may become as heavy as 680 kg. But never think this gigantic animal moves slowly. In fact, the grizzly can run as fast as 55 km an hour.

Bike to Work Day

Bike-to-Work Day is held every year across North America on the third Friday of May. It was started by the League of American Bicyclists in 1956. Its aim is to promote (促进) the bicycle as a serious choice of getting to and from work. In today’s world where global warming is a serious issue, the bicycle is a perfect way of reducing our carbon (碳) footprint.

Cycling to work is a healthy alternative (选择) to driving or taking public transport. A healthier society means there is not so much pressure (压力) on the country’s health system. Of course, it depends on how far you live from your place of work. ________ Another benefit of cycling is feeling more creative and full of energy once you get to work, which will improve your performance.

Bicycles are the most common form of transport in the world. There are about one billion worldwide. This makes it the most popular invention ever. When we think of some countries, like China, we imagine hundreds of people cycling everywhere. Even in high-tech Japan, it is impossible not to see businessmen, farmers, mothers or workers in the streets on their bikes.

Bicycles were invented in the 19th century and haven’t changed much since. Bicycles now have gears, better brakes and suspension, but the shape is the same as before. We use bicycles today for recreation, fitness, policing, Olympic competition, mail delivery and lots more. Without the bicycle, much of the world might stop working!

1. Honesty is the best policy. Have you ever heard about the saying, perhaps the most popular in English language? It was perhaps the favorite motto of America’s first president. The wisdom is at least 2, 500 years old. It first appeared as the moral of Aesop’s fable, a story about two woodcutters — one honest, the other dishonest. The fable was a favorite with both Greek and Roman children. Any child can easily grasp its timeless moral. Here is the story.
