Panda

Because of its size and strength, a panda is a potentially frightful and awesome
beast. But its clumsy and uncoordinated ways make it an awkward and defensive
creature. It fumbles along, pigeon-toed, in an ungraceful, diagonal walk. It is
rarely urged from this lumbering pace. Only a young panda, or a panda in
desperate flight, will venture to climb a tree. And once it has reached the top, it
becomes an even greater task to get down.

Despite its aloof manner and clumsiness, the giant panda has won a reputation as
a loving and adorable creature. With its big, furry head, gentle, flat face, and dark-
ringed, sad-eyes, the giant panda is irresistible. Its lopsided movements and its
timidity have endeared it to countless friends and admirers at zoos around the
world.

KOMODO DRAGON

Do you know what is the largest lizard? This lizard is called komodo. It lives in the
scrub and woodland of a few Indonesian islands.

Komodo dragon is the world's heaviest lizard, weighing 150 pounds or more. The
largest Komodo ever measured was more than 10 feet (3 meters) long and
weighed 366 pounds (166 kg) but the average size of komodo in the wild is about
8 feet (2.5 meters) long and 200 pounds (91 kg)

Komodo has gray scaly skin, a pointed snout, powerful limbs and a muscular tail.
They use their keen sense of smell to locate decaying animal remains from several
miles away. They also hunt other lizards as well as large mammals and are
sometimes cannibalistic.

The Komodo dragon's teeth are almost completely covered by its gums. When it
feeds, the gums bleed, creating an ideal culture for virulent bacteria. The bacteria
that live in the Komodo dragon's saliva causes septicemia, or blood poisoning, in
its victims. A dragon will bite its prey, then follow it until the animal is too weak to
carry on.
Television

Television, or TV, is one of humanity's most important means of communication.

It brings pictures and sounds from around the world into millions of homes.

People with a television set can sit in their house and watch the president makes
a speech or visits a foreign country. They can see a war being fought, and they can
wacth government leaders try to bring about peace. Through television, viewers
at home can see and learn about peopl, places, and things in a away lands.
Television even takes viewers out of this world as the astronauts explore outer
space.

In addition to all these things, television brings its viewers a steady stream of
programmes that are designed to entertain. In fact, TV provides many more
entertainment programmes than any other kind of information media. The
programmes include action-packed dramas, light comedies, soap operas, sports
events, cartoons, quizzes, variety shows and motion pictures.

More than 83 million homes in the United States - or 98% of all the country's
homes - have at least one television set. On the average, a television set is in use
in each home for about 6 3/4 hours each day. As a result, television has an
important influence on how people spend their time, as well as on what they see
and learn. After they arrive from work, they usually watch TV. Then, the
importance of television is proven. (Taken from The New Book of Knowledge)

A Motel

A motel is a kind of accommodation that provides parking space for the guest’s
car. That’s why it is called a motel that stands for a motor hotel. The parking
space is near building. Sometimes a motel provides a kitchen set to make a simple
cook for breakfast. It is usually located in a small town between two big cities.
Football

Football is a game played by two teams of eleven. They try to score by kicking or
heading the ball into the other team’s goal. Ten of the players can not use their
hands. The goal keeper can handle the ball to stop it going into the goal.

Games similar to football have been played for many centuries. The rules of the
games were written down in 1863. In England, the FA ( Football Association ) cup
was first played for in 1872. In the same year, England played Scotland in the first
game.

Today the most important International Competition is the World Cup which
takes place in every four years. Brazil and Italy have each won the world cup three
times.
Coconut

Coconut are large palm, growing to 30 m tall, with pinnate leaves 4-6 m
long. They proceduce large oval brown fruits which have hard woody husk
surrounded by fibre, with edible white flesh and containing a clear liquid. They
belong to the Family Arecacae (palm family). The term coconut also refers to the
seed of the coconut palm.

The flowers of the coconut palm are polygamomonoecious, with both male
and female flowers in the same process of flowering. Flowering occurs
continuously, with female flowers producing seeds. Coconuts also come with a
liquid that is clear like water but sweet. The “Nut” of the coconut is in the shape
of a ball or is on the inside sides of the Coconut. Unlike some other plants, the
palm tree has neither tap root nor root hairs, But has a fibrous root system. Old
leaves break away cleanly, leaving the trunk smoothly.

The coconut palms grow on sandy soils and are highly tolerant of salinity. It
prefers areas with much sunlight and regular rainfall ( 150 cm to 250 cm
annually). Coconuts also need high humidity (70-80%+) for optimum growth.
Coconut palms require warm conditions for successful groeth, and are intolerant
of cold weather. Optimum growth is with a mean annual temperature of 27˚C
(80.6˚F), and groeth is reduced below 21˚C (69.8˚F). They may grow but not fruit
properly in areas where there is not sufficient warmth, like Bermuda.

The coconut palms are grown throughout the tropical world. They are for
derection as well as for its many culinary and non-culinary uses. Every part of the
coconut palm has some human uses. The coconut meat is edible and used fresh
or dried in cooking. Coconut milk is made by processing grated coconut with hot
water or milk. Coir (the fibre from the husk of the coconut) is used in
ropes,mats,brushes,caulking boats and stuffing fibre; it is also used extensively in
horticulture for making potting compost. Coconut oil is used in many ways
including as a medicine and in cosmetics, or as a direct replacement for diesel
fuel. Coconut trunks are used for building small bridges, preferred for their
staraightness, strength, and salt resistance. Still there are many advantages of
coconut that can be obtained.
Fireflies

Fireflies are just name. They are actually very cool insects. And they are not
even flies, they are beetles. They have a way of sending out light signal every now
and then. If you see them at night on a tree, you might think it is a brightly lit
Christmas tree. That is the kind of light these fireflies produce.

Fireflies have transparent abdomen. There are cells of crystals or chemical

substances inside it witch get broken down by enzymes. Some energy is released
in the from of light. However, the light they send out does not have heat. The
light is cold.

The fireflies send out light signal as fixed intervals. And the purpose behind
it is to attract beetles for mating. But one firefly’s signal is different from
another’s depending on its sex and the type of family it belongs to. If a fireflies
send a signal at a fixed interval but gets a perfect dance sequence. If you are
faster or slower than you partner,the dance fails.
Roses

Roses are perennial flower
