Trees are useful to man in three important ways: they give him wood and other useful things,

they give him cool places, and they help to stop drought and flood.

Unluckily, in many parts of the world, man has not found that the third of these points is the

most important. Man wants to make money from trees, so he has cut them down in large numbers,

only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.

This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even worse: for

where there are trees, their roots break up soil, make the rain in, and also bind the soil, thus

stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top－soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.

gather in squares, main streets or on the river banks to listen to bands playing and to see fireworks

displays.

For people who stay at home, most are attracted by the special, live New Year shows on TV .

They are waiting for the countdown, along with the presenters, from 10 to 1 as the last seconds of

the old year tick away and the bells of the New Year are rung.

In Scotland people visit their neighbors and drink, dance on New Year's Eve. If you're invited

to a Scottish home that night, it's important to know what to bring with you: a lump of coal, some

shortbread and some whisky.

The coal shows warmth, so you're wishing that the people you visit will have enough heat in

Today I was having a PE lesson while I fell down and hurted my foot. I was in great pain at that moment, but I tried to act as if nothing happened until the class was over. Though I had

difficulty walk back to my classroom, but I still didn't tell anyone and even refused the offer of help from my classmates. As the result, the hurt on my foot became worse. Now I know I am wrong.
