The African Elephant
African elephants are the largest
land animals on Earth. They belong to the family Elephantidae and are
generally divided into two species: the African savanna elephant and the
African forest elephant. Both types share many similarities but differ slightly
in size, habitat, and physical characteristics. In general, African elephants
are known for their large ears, wrinkled skin, and curved tusks made of ivory.
African elephants have bodies
specially designed for survival in their environments. Their large ears help
regulate body temperature by releasing excess heat. Their long trunks serve as
a versatile tool used for breathing, drinking, grabbing objects, and
communicating. Elephants also have strong legs that support their massive
bodies, allowing them to travel long distances in search of food and water.
These animals are herbivores, eating
grass, leaves, fruits, and bark. An adult elephant can consume up to 300 pounds
of food in a single day. They usually live in herds led by a matriarch, the
oldest and most experienced female in the group. Living in herds helps protect
them from predators and strengthens social bonds within the group.
Today, African elephants face
serious threats due to habitat loss and illegal hunting for ivory. Many
conservation programs have been created to protect them, including
anti-poaching laws and wildlife reserves. Although their population is still
declining, global awareness about elephant protection continues to increase.
Elephants play an important role in maintaining ecosystem balance, making their
conservation vital for the environment.

parrot could speak five languages fluently. Excited by the idea of having a
multilingual pet, Mr. Donovan immediately purchased it and brought it home.

The
Lost Necklace
Lila was known in her village as a
kind and cheerful girl. One afternoon, while walking home from school, she
found a shiny necklace lying near a small stream. The necklace looked
expensive, decorated with bright gemstones. Lila picked it up and decided to
find its owner.

Lila, a woman suddenly appeared, claiming the necklace was hers. She said she
had lost it years ago. The mayor hesitated, unsure who to believe. The woman

My
Grandmother’s Garden
My grandmother’s garden is one of
the most peaceful places I have ever visited. It is located behind her small
wooden house and is filled with colorful flowers and fresh vegetables. Every
morning, she wakes up early to water the plants and remove dry leaves. She

vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, and cucumbers. She rarely buys vegetables
from the market because most of her daily needs come from her own garden. The

is a small pond filled with clear water and colorful fish. The sound of water

How
to Make a Simple Bird Feeder
Making a simple bird feeder is a fun
activity and a great way to help local birds find food, especially during dry
seasons. With just a few materials, you can create a feeder that attracts
colorful birds to your yard or balcony.
To begin, prepare the materials you
need: a plastic bottle, a pair of scissors, a wooden stick, a piece of string,
and some bird seeds. Make sure the bottle is clean and dry before using it. The
wooden stick will serve as a perch where birds can sit while eating.
First, cut two small holes on
opposite sides of the bottle, just large enough for the birds to reach the
seeds. Then, create another pair of small holes lower on the bottle and insert
the wooden stick through them. This will create a perch. Next, fill the bottle
halfway with bird seeds. Finally, tie the string around the top of the bottle
and hang it on a tree branch or hook outside.
Place the feeder somewhere safe, away
from cats or other animals that might scare the birds. In a few days, you will
begin to see birds visiting and enjoying the food you provided. This simple
feeder not only helps the birds but also gives you a chance to observe nature
up close.

Should Students Use Smartphones in Class?
Many schools are currently debating
whether students should be allowed to use smartphones during class. This issue
has raised different opinions among teachers, parents, and the students
themselves. Some argue that smartphones support learning, while others believe
they only bring distractions.
Those who support smartphone use say
that the devices can serve as powerful learning tools. Students can search for
information instantly, access digital dictionaries, use learning apps, and even
participate in online quizzes. Supporters also argue that smartphones help
build digital literacy, which is an essential skill for the future. With the
right guidance, smartphones can enhance creativity by allowing students to make
videos, presentations, and other digital projects.
On the other hand, opponents believe
that smartphones cause more harm than good. They argue that students are easily
distracted by games, social media, and unnecessary notifications. Teachers
often find it difficult to maintain students’ focus when smartphones are
allowed in class. Some parents also worry that constant exposure to gadgets may
affect students’ mental health, sleep, and social relationships. In addition,
there is a concern about cyberbullying and misuse of technology.
In conclusion, while smartphones can
offer great benefits for learning, they also come with risks that need to be
handled carefully. Schools may consider creating strict guidelines, such as
allowing smartphones only for learning activities or banning them during
certain lessons. The best solution might be finding a balanced policy that
supports education while minimizing distractions.

How Volcanic Eruptions Occur
Volcanic eruptions are natural
phenomena that occur when molten rock, gases, and ash escape from beneath the
Earth’s surface. Volcanoes are formed over millions of years through tectonic
activity, and their eruptions vary in size and intensity.
A volcanic eruption begins when
pressure builds up inside the Earth due to the movement of magma. As tectonic
plates shift, magma pushes upward through cracks in the crust. When the
pressure becomes too strong, the volcano releases gases, ash, and molten rock
called lava. The type of eruption depends on how thick or thin the magma is.
Thicker magma traps more gas, resulting in more explosive eruptions, while
thinner magma allows gases to escape more easily.
The effects of volcanic eruptions
can be both destructive and beneficial. Explosive eruptions can cause ash
clouds, damage buildings, disrupt flights, and endanger human lives. Lava flows
can destroy everything in their path. However, volcanoes also have positive
impacts. The ash left after an eruption contains minerals that enrich the soil,
making surrounding areas very fertile. Many volcanic regions are also important
tourist destinations that boost local economies.
In conclusion, volcanic eruptions
are complex natural events influenced by pressure, magma movement, and tectonic
activity. Although they can be dangerous, they also bring long-term benefits to
the environment and human life.
12. What causes a volcanic eruption?
a. Heavy rain
b. Pressure inside the Earth
c. Cold weather
d. Human activity
e. Solar heat
13. What is lava?
a. Frozen gas
b. Melted soil
c. Molten rock
d. Hard stone
e. Broken magma
14. What determines whether an eruption is
explosive or gentle?
a. The color of magma
b. The amount of ash
c. The thickness of magma
d. The height of the volcano
e. The weather conditions
15. What is one positive effect of volcanic
eruptions?
a. They damage flights
b. They decrease tourism
c. They destroy soil
d. They enrich the soil
e. They remove minerals
16. Why might volcanic regions become popular
tourist destinations?
a. They are far from cities
b. They are always safe
c. They offer unique landscapes
d. They never erupt
e. They have no ash
17. Which part explains how the phenomenon works?
