The United States.

Mary: For starters, the US is larger than Australia and there are
more people there than in Australia.
Reporter: What about the food?
Mary: I love Australian food, especially Cabanossi; it is a type of
sausage. Food in Australia is more traditional and spicier than in
the States.

bigger than in Australia so people can drive faster.

There are usually pumpkin pies that are made during this
celebration because a lot of people make lanterns out of pumpkins
and they are called “Jack-o-lanterns”. People remove the insides
of the pumpkin and they carve different shapes and faces on the
outside. A candle is then placed inside of the pumpkin in order to
give it a spooky glow that lights up the carved figures and can be
seen from a long distance.

As they did almost every morning, the two elderly friends were sat
slowly enjoying a steaming cup of warming coffee at a corner
table. The first looked up at the rapidly darkening skies outside
and quoted an old saying:
“When the wind’s in the south, the rain’s in its mouth. “
For a moment, the other man said nothing, but simply continued
to stare out of the window. Then, as they put on their heavy
overcoats, scarves and gloves, and prepared to leave, he smiled
and added:
“My grandfather told me a long time ago that the ‘south wind
warms the aged ‘“. Stepping out of the warmth of the coffee house
into the chill of an early spring morning, the first man said gruffly:
“I bet he never spent his winters in Nebraska!”
- “How can I help sir?” she asked politely. He lifted his battered
hat from his head and laid it on the counter.
- “Of course sir,” she replied, and was astonished when he passed
over a check for four million dollars. Noting her surprise, the old
man grinned through his few remaining teeth and said:

There is no question that a few series have come out that have been
able to revolutionize the way in which TV is perceived by the audiences.
It seems like this last decade has been a clear win for TV in general
because some of the best plots and dramatic twists have occurred on the
small screen instead of the big screen. One of those amazing TV shows
has been AMC’s hit drama Breaking Bad.
The show was released back in January 2008 and it told the story of
Walter White, who is an underpaid and unaccomplished chemistry
teacher that is diagnosed with cancer. He finds himself with the dilemma
of thinking about what he needs to do in order to provide his family with
enough money before he dies. This gives him the idea of becoming a
methamphetamine cook in order to make loads of money and leave his
family with the financial support they needed.
He gets to know this kid who he used to teach in high school. Jesse
Pinkman is the ultimate loser that sells drugs in the streets and spends
the money he earns in drugs to get high on, but he has the connecting
that Walter needs in order to start selling the drugs. The show will allow
you to get to know both characters very well and their twisted
relationship is almost that of a dysfunctional father and son.
Without spoiling it for those who have yet to see it. You will go through
a rollercoaster of emotions in which you will love and hate Walter and
Jesse. There will be many peculiar characters that will get in their way,
but if there is one thing this show will never do is make you feel bored or
uninterested, with a couple of exceptions in the 4th season. Aside from
that this is probably the best drama TV show that has ever been made.
Does the author seem to have a positive opinion of the Breaking Bad?
a. Yes, he does.
b. No, he doesn’t.
c. Not mention.
d. It doesn’t say.
