Gold is a precious metal. Gold is used as
ornaments or as money.
Gold is found in many places, but in a small
supply. It is often found on the surface of the earth.
Since gold is a heavy substance, it is sometimes
found loose on the bottom of rivers. The gold is
found together with sand and rocks, and must be
separated from them. It is simple to search for this
type of gold.
It is not usually necessary to drill for gold, but
when a layer of gold is located deep below the
surface of the earth, it is possible to drill a hole into
the ground. Engineers have developed modern
processes for removing gold from rocks.
Since gold is not very hard, it is sometimes
melted and added to other substances for making
rings, coins, and art objects. It will be priced
forever because it is beautiful, rare, and useful.

hometown. I wanted to buy him a set of junior
drums because his drum teacher advised me to buy
him one. Willy likes listening to music very much.

know. Even his questions sometimes seem
