The polar bear is a very big white
bear. We call it the polar bear because it lives inside the Arctic Circle near
the North Pole. There are no polar bears at the South Pole.
The polar bears live at the North
pole. There is only snow, ice, and water. There is not any land.
These bears are three meters long,
and weight 450 kilos. They can stand up on their back legs because they have
very wide feed. They can use their front
legs like arms. The Polar bears can swim very well. They can swim 120
kilometres out into the water. They
catch fish and sea animals for food. They go into the sea when they are afraid.
People like to kill the polar
bears for their beautiful white coats. The governments of Canada, the united

“Bisa Saja” is choosen as the
first single of the album and theme song of BROWNIES, since the lyric reflects
the story in the movie. Budjana of GIGI demonstrates his skills in playing
acoustic guitar in “ Cinta Terakhir “. Three other brand new song “Dilema”,
“Jangan Bilang Pacarku” and “ Semua Orang Berhak Mendapat Rasa
Bahagia”, gives supporting nuances to the movie flow as GIGI composed them
by imagining how the scenes would like look based on the screenplay.
When Hanung Bramantyo, the
director, and Dewa Budjana of GIGI chated, Budjana expressed his interest in
making soundtrack album. Then, he recommended a few of GIGI songs, which the
producer accepted because of the chemistry they created with the movie. Since
GIGI can provide a variety of colors to add all kinds of musical nuances to
enrich the movie, the producer deemed it unnecessary to find other musicians to
complete OST of BROWNIES. Armand Maulana (vocalist), I Gede Dewa Budjana
(guitarist), Thomas Ramdhan (Bass player) , and Gusti Erhandy (Drum-stand-in
player for Budhi haryono) put a lot of effort to this album. As a result,
they’ve created perfect blend of movie and songs that makes BROWNIES tastier.

entertaining. No movie is perfect without musical score and OST of Brownies
proved it excellent.

Birds belong to a class of warm blooded vertebrate animals with feather covered bodies. Next to the animals, birds are the most important group of land-living vertebrates. All birds have feathers, although in some types, particularly those that cannot fly, the normal structure of the feathers may be much modified and be downy, woolly, or straw like. The forelimbs of birds are modified into wings. The bony part of the tail, except in the very earliest fossil birds is very short, and the visible tail is composed of feathers only. The teeth are absent except in some fossil forms. As in mammals the only other group of warm-blooded animal , the circulation is highly perfected so that there is no mixing of arterial and venous blood, but the arrangement of veins and arteries by which this is accomplished different in the two groups. Birds have keen hearing, although they have no external ears. The sense of sight also is very keen, but the sense of smell is weak or lacking, except few vultures and others birds.

Is Smoking Good For Us? Before we smoke, it is better to look at the fact of smoking effects, not only for smokers but also for non smokers. About 50 thousands people die every year in Britain as the direct result of smoking. This is the seven times as many as deaths in road accidents. Nearly a quarter of smokers die because of diseases caused by smoking. Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five cigarettes a day, we are six times more likely to die of lung cancer than a non- smoker. If we smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the risk is nineteen times greater. Ninety five percent of people who suffer from bronchitis are people who smoke. Smokers are two and half times more likely to die of heart disease than non- smokers. Additionally, children of smokers are more likely to develop bronchitis and pneumonia. In one hour in a smoky room, a non-smoker breathes as much as substance causing cancer as if he had smoked fifteen cigarettes. Smoking is really good for tobacco companies because they do make much money from smoking habit. Smoking, however, is not good for everybody else.

During the twentieth century the world has witnessed the inventions of many amazing things. Television is a great invention, but there are arguments for and against whether it is the best invention of the twentieth century Television was invented in the1920s and first came to Australia in 1956. It has played an important role in communicating news. We can learn instantly about what is happening in the world because of television. Also, television has provided people with entertainment in their own homes. People in isolated areas can still feel the other part of the world because of television. For these reasons I feel that television could be considered the best invention of the twentieth century. On the other hand, there are other inventions that could be considered better than television. Some might argue that computer should be awarded the distinction of being the best invention because computer has made life easier. Others might argue that medical inventions such as heart pacemakers are best inventions because they help to save live. It can be seen that there are reasons for and against television being considered the best invention of the twentieth century. After looking at both sides I still believe it is the best invention.

Facsimile, often called fax, is a way of transmitting texts and pictures over telephone lines. News services often use facsimile to send news, stories and photographs to newspaper and television stations. Banks, law firms and other businesses use facsimile to send copies of documents to clients and other organizations. A device called a facsimile machine is used for transmitting and receiving images. Facsimile machines resemble small photocopiers. However, they are equipped with a telephone or are connected to one. To send a document, the user inserts it into the machine and dials the telephone number of the receiving fax machine. After the connection is made, an electronic scanner on the transmitting machine moves across the page and converts the image into a set of electric signals. These signals travel over the telephone line to the receiving fax machine. Then machine converts the electric signals back into an image of the original document and then prints a copy. Some business people use small desktop fax machines or portable models at home or when they travel. A personal computer can also be used to send and receive documents if it is equipped with a special electronic circuit board called a fax board

The Good Stepmother The old witch locked Hansel in a cage and set Gretel to clean the house. She planned to eat them both. Each night the children cried and begged the witch to let them go. Meanwhile, at home, their stepmother was beginning to wish she had never tried to get rid of the children. ”I must find them,” she said and set off into the forest. Many hours later, when her feet were tired from walking and her lips were dry from thirst, she came to the cottage belonging to the witch. The stepmother peeped through the window. Her heart cried out when she saw the two children. She picked up the broom leaning against the door and crept inside. The witch was putting some stew in the oven when the stepmother gave her an almighty push. The witch fell into the oven and the stepmother shut the door. “Children, I have come to save you,” she said, hugging them tightly. I have done a dreadful thing. I hope in time you will forgive me. Let me take you home and become a family again. They returned to their home and the stepmother became the best mother anyone could wish to have, and of course they lived happily ever after.

Why do Hawks Hunt Chicks.
Once upon
time, a hawk fell in love with a hen. The hawk flew down from the sky and asked the hen ,” Won’t you marry me
?”
The hen
loved the brave, strong hawk and wished to marry him. But she said,” I can not
fly as high as you can. If you give me time, I may learn to fly as high as you.
Then we can fly together.The hawk agreed. Before he went away, he gave the hen
a ring.” This is to show that you have promised to marry me,” said the hawk.
It so
happened that the hen had already promised to marry a rooster.
So, when the rooster saw the ring, he became
very angry.“ Throw that ring away at once !” shouted the rooster. Then she was so frightened at
the rooster’s anger that she threw away
the ring immediately.
When the
hawk came a few months later, the hen told him the truth. The hawk was so
furious that he cursed the hen. “ Why didn’t you tell me earlier ? Now,
you’ll always be scratching the earth, and I’ll always be flying above to catch
your children,” said the hawk.
The curse
seems to have come true.
43. Why couldn’t
the hen say ‘”yes” right away ?
