Little Boy with a Slingshot
Once upon a time Sammy and his sister
Marie visited their grandparents at their farm. Sammy
picked up a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He
practiced in the woods, but he could never hit the
target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for
the lunch. As lie was walking back, he saw Grandma’s
pet duck.
Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly
which hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He
was shocked and grieved. In a panic, he hid the dead
duck in the pile of Woods. Marie had seen it all from
the window, but she said nothing. After the lunch, the
next day Grandma said, “Marie, let’s wash the dishes.”
Marie said, “But Grandma, Sammy told me he wanted
to help in the kitchen.”
Then she whispered to Sammy, “Remember
the duck?” Sammy got nervous knowing his sister
knew about the duck and if he did not obey, she might
tell his grandparents about it. So, without saying
anything, he did the dishes.
Later that day, Grandpa asked if the
children wanted to go fishing but Grandma said, “I’m
sorry but I need Marie to help make a supper.” Marie
just smiled and said, “Well that’s all right because
Sammy told me he wanted to help.”
She whispered again to Sammy,
“Remember the duck?” So, Marie went fishing and
Sammy stayed to help. After several days of Marie
taking advantage of Sammy, he finally couldn’t stand it
any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he
had killed the duck. ‘
Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and
said, “Sweetheart, I know. I was standing at the
window and I saw the whole thing but because I love
you, I’ve forgiven you. I was just wondering how long
you would let Marie take advantage of you.”

Skateboards
Skateboards are sport equipment used for the activity
of skateboarding. A skateboard consists of a specially
designed maple wood board combined with a
polyurethane coating in order to have smoother slides
and stronger durability. Most skateboards are-made
with 7 plies of this wood.
Many skateboards exist with exotic or alternative
constructions. Traditional complete skateboards consist
of the deck (often with grip tape applied on top to
enhance traction), trucks (with urethane bushings),
wheels (with sealed bearings), nuts, and bolts to fasten
the truck and wheel assembly to the bottom of the
deck. Recently, electric skateboards have appeared.
These no longer require the propelling of the
skateboard by means of the feet; rather an eclectic
motor propels the board, fed by an electric battery.
The board types depend largely upon its desired
function. The two common types of skateboards are the
longboard and the short board. Longboards are the type
of skateboards with longer wheelbases (over 33 inches
long) and larger, softer wheels. Short boards are the
type of skateboards which commonly have a
rectangular shape kick tail at the back and a rounded
nose in the front. They are usually less than 34 inches
long. Besides, longboards are usually faster and are
mostly used for cruising and racing, while short boards

There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture.
Pesticides which are commonly used may cause many
problems. I think combining different management
operations is the most effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as
residues in the environment and in the soil which
absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm
product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to
pesticides. This means that newer and stronger ones
have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and
animals such as fish and bees. This affects the ecology
and environment as well. So, understanding of ecology
of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should
be chosen and applied carefully so that they don’t
affect the ecological balance and environment.

Bullying is the use of force or coercion to abuse or
intimidate others. The behavior can be habitual and
involve an imbalance of social or physical power. It
can include verbal harassment or threat, physical

towards particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race,
religion, gender, sexuality, or ability. The victim of
bullying is sometimes referred to as a “target”.
Bullying can occur in any context in which human
being interact with each other. This includes school,
church, family, the workplace, home, and

Bullying is absolutely wrong for several reasons. First,
nobody wants to get bullied. Imagine if you or your
family member is one who is being bullied. What do
you think will happen to him/her? Nobody wants to
live his /her life like a frightened rabbit, right?
Second, the victims can make a revenge by telling their
parents, teachers or even your principal about what you
have done to them, and surely, you will be in a very,
very big trouble.
Finally, bullying can result in very serious
consequences. Maybe it is done for fun, but the victims
can consider it as a deep traumatic experience that can

surely you will forever be regretful.
