Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as lizards
(the scaled group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither along.
Snakes are not slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin. Their skin is
hard and glossy to reduce friction as the snake slithers along the ground.Snakes often sun bathe
on rocks in the warm weather. This is because snakes are cold-blooded; they need the sun’s
warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in tress, some live in water, but most
live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass and in old logs.
A snake’s diet usually consists of frogs, lizard, and mice and other snakes. The Anaconda
can eat small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect themselves with their fangs.

I strongly believe that mobile phones are necessary. My reasons for this belief are that these
phones are convenient for business people who travel a lot, and they are handy for emergencies.

To begin with, mobile phones are necessary in the case of emergencies. For instance, if you fall
down a set of stairs in a building and are badly injured and can’t reach a pay phone, it is handy to
have one to use. Or, if your car breaks down in the middle of the night in a strange
neighbourhood, it would be dangerous to leave it in search of a public phone booth.

My other main reason is that mobile phones are convenient for business people. For example,
if you are out of the state or even overseas and you have to contact a client to do some important
work, it is useful to have one to use. By using a mobile phone, important information can be
received. People can’t stay in an office all day waiting for their phone to ring. Some people have
to go and do jobs or they will go out of business. You can even send faxes or messages and use
the internet with your mobile.

In conclusion, I believe that mobile phones have now become a necessary part of every day
life. Instant communication will ensure that information can be passed on with a simple press of
a button. Whether this is to do with business or personal information or emergencies, it goes to
show that they are necessary in the new millennium.

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 bottom of rivers. The gold is found together with sand

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 process
