The potato or Solanum tuberosum is a perennial tuber of the Solanaceae family. It is

one of the most widely used vegetables in Europe and North and South America. There are six
other species of Solanum of minor importance. There are thousands of varieties of potato in
cultivation.
Potatoes have a high carbohydrate content and include protein, minerals (particularly
potassium, calcium) and vitamins, including vitamin C. More vitamin C is found in freshly
harvested potatoes than potatoes that have been stored. Peeled, long-stored potatoes fried by
fast-food establishments have less nutritional value although they still have potassium and
vitamin C.
Potatoes can be prepared for eating in numerous ways, either with their skin on or
peeled, whole or cut into pieces, and with seasonings or without. All that is required is that they
be cooked to break down the starch and make them edible. Potatoes are generally eaten hot, but
several basic potato recipes involve cooking the potatoes and then eating them cold - potato
salad and potato chips. One of the commonest presentation methods is 'mashed potatoes'. These
are peeled, boiled then mashed and mixed with butter, cream, or other seasonings before
serving. Potatoes can also be baked whole; cut into cubes and roasted; grated and formed into
dumplings or potato pancakes; and cut into long, thin pieces and fried or baked.

cave.” “How do you go to the river?” asked Aminah.
“There is a tunnel that connects the cave to the riverside,” explained the crocodile. He
accidently revealed his big secret.
Aminah then pretended to agree to stay inside the cave. When the crocodile was sleeping, she
took the jewelries and went to the tunnel.
Finally, she arrived at the riverside and some villagers helped her. Aminah’s parents were very
happy, their daughter managed to be back home. They sold all the jewelries and gave the money to

I really enjoyed my holiday in Australia. Last Sunday I visited a marine park called Sea World
which is at surfers’ Paradise near Brisbane. It’s Australia’s largest marine park and I had a wonderful
day there.

was watching a man feeding the sharks. He wore a special diving suit. Then I watched the performance
of sea animals. The saw was in a big outdoor swimming pool. There were killer whales, dolphins and
sea lions, and they did all sort of fantastic things in the water. One of the girls in the show rode around
the pool on the back of killing whale, and another girl rode underwater on the back of a big turtle.
After the saw I had lunch. There were several big restaurant at the park and I had lunch in a restaurant
that was shape like a ship! Then I watched a wonderful waret-ski show which was held on a lake.
There were lots of other things to do at tthe park. There was lake cruising, a train ride, a big

Dear Mom,
Happy Mother’s Day! Now that I am a mother, I’m realizing just what you went through with
me. You were always so patient and kind even when you had to sacrifice what you were doing to help
me. I admire your intelligence. I know you gave up your dreams of being a pharmacist when I came
along. I can't imagine all the dreams you actually gave up just for me and because of me, but I am glad
you are my mom.
Whenever I had faced hard times in school, you were there to encourage me. Learning how to
make friends, dealing with hurts, feeling alone, and learning how to navigate through the craziness of
growing up—I knew I could turn to you for answers.
What I appreciate is that you wouldn’t just see what I went through and just tell me what to do.
The point is that you would actually take time out of your day to listen to me and my problems. I do
that with my daughter now, and I realize how much I love doing this. Thank you for your example to
me. Again, I love you and Happy Mother’s Day.

Lots of love,
