Gregory is my beautiful gray persian cat. He walks with pride and grace, performing a
dance of disdain as he slowly lifts and lowers each paw with the delicacy of a bullet dancer.
His pride, however, does not extend to his appearance, for he spends most of his time
indoors watching television and growing fat. He enjoys TV commercials, especially those
for meow mix and glides.

Yesterday was a terrible day for me. I got up late. So I went to school in a hurry. I rode my
bike fast so that I could come on time to school. I arrived at school as soon as the bell rang.
However, when the teacher asked us to submit our homework, I remember that I left mine
at home. To prove my word, the teacher asked me to give the homework directly after
school. So, when the bell rang, I went back home to get my homework.

Turtles belong to an old group of reptiles that go back to the time of the
dinosaurs. Today there are about 250 different types of turtles. The turtle is an
animal that moves very slowly, but some sea turtles can move faster.
Turtles can be found all over the world, except in very cold areas. Most of
them live in freshwater, but some types live in salt water or on land. Turtles
haven't changed very much since they first came to earth about 200 million years
ago. Some are very small and weigh very little -about 0.5 kg. Others can be up to 2
metres and weigh about 700 kg.
A turtle's body is surrounded by a hard shell that protects its organs. Many
turtles can pull their heads, legs and tails into the shell. It is very strong and can
support a weight that is much greater than the turtle itself. Turtles don't have teeth
they tear apart food with their beaks. They have powerful legs and short feet.
Turtles can see, taste and smell but they cannot hear very well. Most turtles eat
plants and sea animals, like worms, snails, insects, jellyfish or mussels. They can
survive for a long time without food. But when they see food they eat a lot and can
grow very fat.
