The grizzly is the star of our little town in the mountains. Many people visit here for this kind of strong large brown bear. When a grizzly grows up, it may become as heavy as 680 kg. But never think this gigantic animal moves slowly. In fact, the grizzly can run as fast as 55 km an hour.

Though grizzlies look quite big and dangerous, they eat not only meat, but also flowers and grasses. Fish is their favorite food. On summer nights, they enjoy catching fish in the rivers. That is why people usually come watching grizzlies in this season.

Now the number of grizzlies is getting smaller because they have been killed by people who sell grizzly body parts as medicine. Many people of our town are worried about this and have asked for help to save our big friends.

They are slow in moving.
They have brown hair.
They eat only meat and fish.
They sleep most of the time in summer.

Dear Mr. Help:

Daniel was my best friend in high school. I 24 him for the first time on the school bus. He was nice, and most important of all, we both were interested in sports. We soon became good friends. I 25 basketball with him after school in the gym. High school was a great time for us, and we enjoyed the "men's talk" between us.

But things 26 since we graduated. Daniel can't see me very often because he's got a girlfriend. I try to talk to him, but he keeps avoiding me. Daniel 27 me several times that he needs more time to be with his dear Gloria. How can a girlfriend be more important than a best friend? Do you think I should find a new friend? Or should I get a girlfriend, too?

The first typhoon of this year is coming fast from the Green Sea. Although it will not arrive until tomorrow, strong winds and heavy rains are here already.

It is quite windy in Greenton. The city's famous bright sun cannot be seen today because the rain is going to last all day. Greenton's temperature today is 21-24°C.

Ferilla is also windy and rainy. Its beautiful beaches are closed because of the typhoon. People who want to have a vacation there will have to change their plans. The city's temperature today is 20-24°C.

The weather in Coco Town will still be good today, just like yesterday, because it is on the north side of White Mountains, and the mountains block most of the wind. The temperature in Coco Town is 25-29°C.

Dear May,

I know you are still angry, but please listen to me.

When Mom asked you not to play computer games all day long, what did you do? In a loud voice, you told her you were doing your computer homework. Then you slammed your room door and refused to talk to her.

You don't understand how much you have hurt her. I think she is waiting for you to say you are sorry. If you don't feel comfortable doing so, why don't you just say something likeGood morning”? If you can say anything, it will make your mom feel better. I know you love her, and I hope things can go well between the two of you.

Love,

Dad

Marina: Oh, sorry. I didn’t hear you. I was thinking about my homework.

Darrell: What’s it about?

they made them. I’m sure you can get some ideas there.

Marina: Sounds like you use it often.

chocolate cakefrom choosing good chocolate to baking the cake to making
