Yesterday night was the night of the fair, the following day
was holiday. The children at Tim’s school were really excited. They
ran down the path out of school as fast as they could. Tim ran all
the way home, and changed into his jeans and sneakers. He ate
his dinner quickly, and sat at the window waiting for his dad to
come. He couldn’t wait for six o’clock when the fair would begin.
He had been saving his pocket money for weeks.
When Tim and his family arrived at the fair, it had just
opened. Already there were crowds of people swarming around
food stalls, displays and dozens of rides. “Can I buy some chips
and a drink?” asked Tim. “Okay,” said Tim’s dad. “But hang on
tightly to your wallet. There are a lot of people around.”
“I’ll be fine,” said Tim impatiently.
He found a food stall, and ordered his food. When the man brought his chips and drink, without
thinking, Tim put his wallet on the counter and picked up his food and drink. When he glanced back, his
wallet had vanished! Tim desperately looked around him, but it was no use. All his pocket money was
gone.

My favorite thing is aquarium. It is a place in
which aquatic plants and animals, particularly fish, are
kept. The term is applied to single tanks for home use
in which fishes are kept for their decorative effect and
interesting habits, and to public institutions with tanks
for exhibitions and scientific study of aquatic life.
I make home aquarium to stimulate a natural
environment. Aquatic plants supply the oxygen
needed by the fish, but often an aerating device is
used to furnish additional oxygen. Goldfish enjoy cool
water, but the popular tropical fish must have water at a constant temperature of 22ᴼC (72ᴼF) or more.
I must keep the water pure and free of algae for long periods by sufficient aeration and by keeping
mollusks in the aquarium. A layer of sand or gravel at the bottom of the tank will hold the roots of such
important aquatic plants as tape grass, vallisneria spiralis, and aid in the removal of debris. My home
aquariums are range in sizes, from small fishbowls holding two or three pets, to huge tanks.

One of the most valuable and widespread plants is bamboo. It is
a tall treelike grass. There are more than 350 species. Most grow in
Asia and on the islands of the Indian and Pacific oceans. Although
bamboo is a tropical plant, it can grow in a cooler temperate zone.
A single root may produce as many as 100 stems. They are
hollow, woody, and jointed. The stems are sometimes 3 feet (0.9
meter) around. Sprouts grow fast, at times 1 foot (0.3 meter) or more
a day. They may grow to 30, 50 or even 130 feet (9 to 40 meters) in
height. Near the top are many branches. Some species do not bloom
for 60 years or more.
Bamboo products range from food to houses. Asian people
usually use the sprouts as vegetables. In East and Southeast Asia,
people use the hollow stems for water pipes and for building bridges
and houses. Short sections serve as pails and cooking utensils. The
stems make for walls, floors, and roofs. Thinner strips are woven into
mats, chairs, cages, and curtains. Bamboo fishing rods are made of
matched strips glued together. Split bamboo is also used for
chopsticks and fan ribs. The inner parts of the stems of several
species are made into quality papers.
