Small dog helps a girl

 A four year old chihuahua named Honey may be small, but she makes up for it in courage. She showed this skill off after a much bigger pit bull attacked her owner's granddaughter, Jenna.
Honey came to her rescue, bravely drawing the aggressive dog away. People later caught the pit bull and put it down.
The pit bull had bit Jenna so badly that she needed over a hundred stitches to fix her eye and hours of surgery. It could have been much worse, however, if the brave chihuahua had not sprung into action.

Life Seems Unfair

  They say that good things happen to good people, and bad things happen to bad people. This doesn't
always feel true. People who have done great things die before they should. It makes life seem unfair, and it is sometimes. People who do bad things get away with it, sometimes. Eventually, people's deeds catch up to them.

  Shawn was a good person. He volunteered every week at the animal shelter. He was nice to everyone, even strangers. He took care of his grandparents. Good things should happen to him, right? Unfortunately, Shawn just found out that he got laid off at work. This is unfair. However, losing a job when he needed it badly made him very motivated to look for a new job that paid well. Eventually, he found a great job as a teacher in China.

  Lizzie was a bad person. She stole people's credit card information, yelled at waiters, and used all her friends. Bad things should happen to her, right? Well, Lizzie happened to win $200,000 from a lottery. This is unfair. Justice was served eventually. She was sued for credit card fraud, and had to use the money she won to hire a lawyer.

Not Going to Church

Chris has been going to church every Sunday since he was four years old. His parents were very

religious and wanted Chris to follow in their footsteps. His dad was a pastor, and his mom was a choir leader. Chris always felt like he was in the middle. He didn't particularly love or hate Christianity.

Chris learned about other religions in his history class. He learned about Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, and more. After learning about other religions, Chris wanted to convert to Buddhism. He felt like he could relate to it better. One Sunday, he told his parents he was not going to church. They were shocked and angry. They told him that if he did not go to church, they would take away all electronics from him. Chris was okay with that. He gave his parents his cell phone, video game console, and laptop.

When his parents came back from church, they wanted to have a long conversation with Chris. Chris told them why he didn't want to go to church anymore. He explained what Buddhism was, and why he wanted to convert. His parents tried to convince him that Christianity was better. It was useless. Chris made his decision.

King Lear by William Shakespeare Part I

Author: Once upon a time there lived a king whose name was Lear. He was the king of Britain. He had three daughters: Goneril, Regan and Cordelia.

One day King Lear called his daughters and said to them:

King Lear: I am very old and tired. I want to divide Britain into three parts and give one part to each of you. But first you must tell me how much you love me.

Author: Goneril and Regan were not good daughters. They did not love their father. But they were very greedy. They wanted to become queens very much. So Goneril said:

Goneril: Dear father, I love you very much. I love you more than my eyes, more than my beauty, more than my life. No child loves his father more than I love you.

Author: Then Regan spoke:

Regan: Dear father, I love you so much that I will give my life for you, I will care for you. I love you more than anything else in the world.

Author: King Lear was very glad. Then he asked his youngest daughter Cordelia to speak. She was his favourite daughter.

Cordelia loved her father very much, but she didn’t want to repeat the words of her sisters. So, she said nothing. Only when King Lear told her angrily that she must speak, she said:

Cordelia: I don’t understand why my sisters say that they love you more than anything else. They are married. Don’t they love their husbands? You are my father, and of course, I love you. But when I marry, I’ll love my husband, too.

Author: King Lear did not like Cordelia’s words. He shouted at her and said:

King Lear: Get out. I don’t want to have such a daughter. You won’t get anything.

Author: So, he divided the country between Regan and Goneril and gave Cordelia nothing.

Adventure lovers

Don't look  down

Paul  Lay dances  with death  in the mountains of southern Spain.

 I have  always  enjoyed walking.When I was  aboy  I used to   go  walking   at the weekends  with  my father. We went  camping and climbing together.

I try to visit  a new place  every  year. Laat year I  decided  to walk  a path in Spain  called  El Camino del Rey  , which  means the King's way. It is one of the highest and most dangerous footpaths in Europe.It used to be very safe  but now it  is falling down.

I took a train to the village  of El Chorro and started to walk towards the mountains. I was very  excited. Then the adventure began.

The path was  about  three feet wide  and there were  holes  in it.   I didn't know what to do --  Should  I    go   on my  hands  and  knees, or  stand  up/?  I decided to  stand d up and walk  very  slowly. At  times  the path was  only  as  wide  as  my two boots. I stopped to have a rest but  there was  nowhere to sit.

I began  to feel  very  frightened.It was  impossible to look  down or  look up. I was  concentrating so hard  that  my body  started aching. There was  no thrill  of danger , no enjoyment of the view. I thought I was  going to die.

 I finally managed to get  to the end. I was  shaking, and I was  covered in sweat from heat  and fear. I fell to the ground exhausted.

Hamburgers  became a favoutite  in America in the early part of the twentieth  century.Their  popularity grew even more after the Second  World war, when they were bought  in large quantities  by teenagers who prefered  fast food to family meals. In 1948  two brothers ,Dick  nd McDonald opened  a drive -in hamburger restaurant in San Bernardino, California.Since than over 25000 McDonald’s restaurants were opened worldwide and now 35 million McDonald’s hamburgers were  eaten  every day om 115 countries from India to the Arctic Circle.

                                                The  place that I love most in Yerevan

            There are many beautiful and interesting places in the world, that I would like to visit and see. I want to travel all of the world, see different countries, new places, meet new people and new culture. In spite of these beautiful places, each of us loves her/his birthplace most of all.

            Yerevan is my birthplace. It is my city. It is the city where  my roots are , where I was born, went to school, have lived, and continue to live. That’s why I love my city. And it seems to me that Yerevan is the most beautiful and comfortable city in the world to live in. It is place where people respect each other, where people help each other, as if they are relatives. Yerevan is beautiful with its streets, its buildings, theatres,  cinemas, shops, the republic square, its lake, its Opera house.Each of them has its own beauty and has some unique nature. In Yerevan most of all I like The republic square. Though it is not very big, it is cosy to have a walk and admire the fountains. It is nice, especially in the evenings. When it is dark and we walk or just stand and look at the water, listening the music. IT makes us feel good, feel happy and forget all the tiredness of the day. Sometimes some concerts  are organized in the Republic square, at that time many people gather here to listen music and have a rest for a few hours.

            Yerevan is beautiful. Beautiful with its kind people, its buildings and streets…
