Rafflesia can be found in the forests of Malaysia, Southern Thailand, Sumatra and
Java. But, Rafflesia flowers are fairly hard to locate. It is especially difficult to see
them in bloom. Its buds take up to 10 months to develop while its blossom lasts for
just a few days.
Rafflesia has brownish, scale like leaves and fleshy, smelling flowers of various
sizes, from few inches to meter big in diameter. We usually notice its large fleshy
flowers. There is a deep well in the centre of the flowers. The sexual organs are
located beneath the rim of the disk. Male and female flowers are separate.
The reddish brown colors of the petals, sprinkled with white freckles produce
unpleasant stench, similar to rotting flesh. This would attract flies and insects which
help disperse the seeds. Rafflesia isparasite, which means it takes the nutrient out of
its host.

"Don't eat just before going to bed!" my mother used to tell me. "You might get a
nightmare." How right she was. I never believed her until it happened to me.
It was on a night when I felt hungry just as I was about to go to bed. So I made
myself a peanut-butter sandwich and a large cold glass of milk. After consuming
them I went to bed.
Soon I drifted off into a troubled sleep. I dreamt that I was with a group of people
looking for an old woman. I was not sure why we were looking for her but we all
seemed afraid of her. Somehow we had to find her. So there I was,searching high
and low for her in frightful places I had never been before. Sometimes I seemed to
be flying while at other times I seemed unable to move. The whole atmosphere
was one of fear, like a dreadful horror-movie in which I was a victim.
After some searching I entered a darkened room and saw a figure sleeping on a
bed. As I got nearer the figure suddenly threw away the blanket, got up and stared
at me. It was an ugly old woman with shiny golden teeth. She raised her claw-like
fingers and walked towards me.
I wanted to run but was unable to. I tried to scream but found that I could not. In
horror I struggled and struggled to get away from the frightful woman.
The next moment I gave a muffled yell and found myself panting on my bed. My
goodness, what a horrible nightmare it was! For a minute or so I lay on my bed not
daring to close my eyes for fear of falling asleep again and continuing the
nightmare. Then I sat up on my bed until the horrible feeling passed. From then on
I never eat just before going to sleep.

Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants, and are known for their
role in pollination and for producing honey and beeswax. There are nearly 20,000
known species of bees in nine recognized families though many are undescribed and the
actual number is probably higher. They are found on every continent except Antarctica,
in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.
Bees have a long proboscis (a complex "tongue") that enables them to obtain the
nectar from flowers. They have antennae almost universally made up of 13 segments in
males and 12 in females, as is typical for the super family. Bees all have two pairs of
wings, the hind pair being the smaller of the two; in a very few species, one sex or caste
has relatively short wings that make flight difficult or impossible, but none are
wingless.
The smallest bee is Trigona minima, a stingless bee whose workers are about
2.1 mm (5/64") long. The largest bee in the world is Megachile pluto, a leafcutter bee
whose females can attain a length of 39 mm (1.5"). Members of the family Halictidae,
or sweat bees, are the most common type of bee in the Northern Hemisphere, though
they are small and often mistaken for wasps or flies.

Mahogany
In the natural rainforest, Mahogany is a very large canopy tree, sometimes reaching
over 150 feet in height, with trunks sometimes more than 6 feet in diameter above a large
basal buttress. It is a generally open-crowned tree, with gray to brownish-red fissured bark.
Mahogany is perhaps the most valuable timber tree in the whole of Latin America and
has been heavily exploited for most of this century. Mahogany is becoming increasingly
rare, and is already extinct in parts of its original range. It is listed as threatened in "Arboles
Maderables en Peligro de Extinción en Costa Rica" and is listed in CITES Appendix III.
Mahogany varies from yellowish, reddish, pinkish, or salmon colored when freshly cut,
to a deep rich red, to reddish brown as the wood matures with age. Mahogany is fine to
medium texture, with uniform to interlocking grain, ranging from straight to wavy or curly.
Irregularities in the grain often produce highly attractive figures such as fiddle back or
mottle. Mahogany polishes to a high luster, with excellent working and finishing
characteristics. It responds well to hand and machine tools, has good nailing and screwing
properties, and turns and carves superbly.
Mahogany is regarded by many as the world's premier wood for fine cabinetry, high-
class furniture, trimming fine boats, pianos and other musical instruments, sculpture, joinery,
turnery, figured and decorative veneer, interior trim, and carving.

Long ago, there lived a little boy named Sammy. He was a good boy. He was good in
his studies, obedient to his parents, more intelligent than many other boys in his class and
kind to everyone.
Now there was another boy named Timmy who studied in the same class as Sammy.
Unlike Sammy, he was not good at studies and always liked to play during school hours. He
misbehaved with his parents, bullied his classmates and even ill-treated Sammy.
On his eighth birthday, Sammy got a nice pen as a gift from his parents. He brought it
to school so that he could use it to take down the notes of the lectures that the teachers gave
in class. When Timmy saw it, he felt uneasy. He asked Sammy,
"Hey, where did you get that? Did you buy it?"
"My parents gave it as a birthday gift to me." replied Sammy.
Timmy was overwhelmed with anger and jealousy. His parents never gave him a gift.
He decided to steal Sammy's pen. During recess, when everyone had gone out from the
class, Timmy opened Sammy's bag and took out his pen. Then he hid it inside his bag and
went out.

about it. There was a hunt for the missing pen and the class teacher ordered the class monitor

My Worst Mistake
Hi Diary,
I‟ve just had the worst day ever! It all began at morning break. This horrible boy
came over and pushed me for no reason. When I pushed him back I was the one who got
into trouble. I was given a nasty note from Ms Thomas to take home to mom.
Later when mum read the note she blamed me – she wouldn‟t even listen to my
side of things. It‟s not fair. Now I‟m grounded for a month and all I did was stick up for
myself.
Still I have learned one thing today – violence won‟t solve my problems but
telling tales just might!

Please let me express my deepest sympathies to you and the children. I was shocked and
shattered when I heard about Frank's horrific accident. I can't even imagine what you
have been going through for the past ten days.
As you know, Frank and I have been colleagues and friends for the past eight years. His
tragic loss leaves a terrible void in our office. He was so well-liked and respected by
everyone who came into contact with him, both colleagues and clients alike. He had
tremendous people skills, and as such, was a role model in our company and the industry
at large. I trust that, when they are older, the children will be made aware of what an
outstanding person Frank was in his professional life.
Sabrina, please feel free to contact me if I can help in any way while you go through this
very difficult period. I will support you in any way that I can should you reach out to
me.
Also, please tell the children how terribly devastated all of us are here at the company
due to their Father's tragic passing.

When I just hang out in a mall one day, I saw a very beautiful bag. I love this bag
at the first sight. This was the first time I've spent much money on a bag and I don't
regret it.
The bag is wonderful. It is made of thin but strong leather. The weight is
light and the size keeps it from getting stuffed with junk. It has a long shoulder strap
that I like because it keeps the bag hands-free. Its neutral color is fun and sporty. The
design is simple and well-made.
The bag is very functional. It is the perfect size to carry a cell phone, a
pocket-sized wallet, a small book, a pack of gum, and pens. It also fits well into my
laptop backpack for bike commuting to school. This bag also has more pockets inside
so my small items don't all fall to the bottom. In overall I really satisfy with bag.

Dear Linda
I hope you know me well enough to realize that I would never have missed your dinner party
without a very good reason. As I was leaving for your house I got a phone call informing me
that my brother was involved in an accident. He was taken to the emergency room and my only
thought at the time was to be with him.
The very good news is that he was not badly hurt and will fully recover.
I would much rather have been at your dinner party. I‟m sure it was a lovely evening.
I hope to see you again sometime soon.
Sincerely,
Jeny
Borobudur
The Borobudur Temple Compounds is a ninth century Buddhist temple complex. It was
built on several levels around a natural hill.
Borobudur is built as a single large stupa, and when viewed from above takes the form of
a giant tantric Buddhist mandala, simultaneously representing the Buddhist cosmology and
the nature of mind. The foundation is a square. It has nine platforms, of which the lower six
are square and the upper three are circular. The upper platform features seventy-two small
stupas surrounding one large central stupa. Each stupa is bell-shaped and pierced by
numerous decorative openings. Statues of the Buddha sit inside the pierced enclosures.
The site was rediscovered in the 19th century, and restored in the early 20th. In 1973 a
major renovation took place that was funded by UNESCO.
Two smaller Buddhist temples, Pawan and Mendut, are part of the designated area too.

They are warm-blooded and lay eggs. Their bodies are covered with feathers and they
have wings. Their bones are hollow. This makes them lighter and allows many of them to fly.
Birds have two legs usually covered with scales (small, flat hard plates which over-lap in the
same way as feathers). They have a hard beak with no teeth. Because birds keep a high body
temperature, they use lots of energy. So, they need to eat a lot of food compared with their
weight. More than 9000 different species of birds are known.
Birds are found on every continent of the world. Birds of different types can live in
freezing cold environments, and others can live in hot desserts. Birds live in forests, in
grasslands, on cliff faces, in river banks, on stony sea shores, down mine shafts and in the

considered his skills to drop and his prospect wasted. This resulted in the Indonesian
national team manager Peter Withe crossing his name off the team list from the national team in 2006. He also
has a bad reputation due to his alcoholism, which also contributed to his decline in form over the past year
although Boas stated that he is trying his best to quit and gain back his place in the Indonesian national team.

A. He didn‟t like Boaz.

Residents of Mesuji district, in Ogan Komering Ilir, South Sumatra, have difficulty moving forward without
recalling the brutal killing of seven people, three of whom were beheaded, in April in a land dispute between
local people and a plantation company.
The plantation camp of PT Sumber Wangi Alam (SWA), where the crimes reportedly happened, was found
to be deserted on Tuesday after all of the company‟s workers had resigned for security reasons and severe
psychological trauma.
Dozens of houses for the workers and their families were left in ruins as new workers preferred to return to
their homes in nearby villages located outside the plantation due to security concerns.
I had a bad experience when I did shopping because of the shop assistant‟s fault. However, the security
officer of the shop really embarrassed me. He accused me of stealing a pair of blue jeans.
That was a Sunday afternoon. I went to a fashion shop with my friends. I chose a pair of blue jeans to buy
and paid for them at the cashier. Unfortunately, the shop assistant was careless. She forgot to take the censor
clip on the blue jeans. So, when I left the shop, the detector beeped. The security officer shouted at me,” Hey,
you! Stop!” Then, he took me to the manager‟s room.
After examining, the security officer and the manager realized that it was not my fault. They said they were
very sorry about what had happened. Finally, the manager asked me to take one piece of clothing for free.

A stuntman has a very exciting and interesting life. He or she gets to do everything and anything that is too
dangerous for the actor/actress. The biggest problem with a stuntman career is that the work is not always there.
If you have the connections, being a stuntman is a great adventurous career.
A stuntman's earnings are determined by several factors. As a beginner, you most likely won't make the money
that you expect, but once you have experience and have a good reputation, you can sometimes name your price.
Salaries can range as low as $5,000 to $70,000 and more per year. Remember stunt people do the more
adventurous parts of the movie, but no one sees you.
A stunt person goes where ever the movie industry goes and the movie industry goes everywhere. You may
have to work from 4 AM to 10 or 11 PM and then get up at four again the next morning. A stunt person's work
is done in all types of weather and is most likely done outside. There are generally more men than women in the
business and by the age of 40, you are usually too old to do stunt work.
The easiest way to become a stunt person is to bypass the education and just grow up with stunt work. It is
common for stunt work knowledge and skills to be handed down from one generation to the next. Not every
person is capable of being in the stunt business. It takes lots of courage, guts, and ambition. Some skills are
taught at stunt schools in places like California and Florida that you could enter to learn from professionals.

Gregory is my beautiful 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 ballet 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 9 Lives. His familiarity with cat food commercials has led
him to reject generic brands of cat food in favor for only the most expensive brands.
Gregory is a finicky about visitors as he is about what he eats, befriending some and repelling others.
He may snuggle up against your ankle, begging to be petted, or he may imitate a skunk and stain your favorite
trousers. Gregory does not do this to establish his territory, as many cat experts think, but to humiliate me
because he is jealous of my friends.

Camping is one of activity that my family loves very much. All my family just loved the nice atmosphere of the
camping site. We just want the life with no traffic which it means no noise sometimes. The twittering of birds
and the sound of the wind blowing are the things we would like to enjoy. We usually go camping at the end of
the months.
Last month we went camping in the mountainous area. My father‟s colleague recommended this camping site.
We fell in love with this place at the first sight. It is really a nice spot for the tent. Arriving at the campsite, we
were busy with our own duties. After my father struggled hard to put up the tent this afternoon, my mom
brought some food for dinner. Everything was in place for a great family camping trip. We slept soundly in tent
under a sparkling night sky, and woke up early because of the chattering monkeys. No hustle or bustle. This
dark morning was very quiet with the soft light of lanterns. We had a nice chat inside the warm tents.
After breakfast- just delicious home-cooked food- we hiked to the Crater Lake. It was a great place. We were at
peace with nature, a perfect place to slow down and recharge. We walked (for the surefooted) around the rim of
the crater. Hidden on the shores of a deep volcanic lake, the crater offered lovely views the plains. This camping
activity was the most memorable back-to-nature experience I ever have!

A galaxy is collection of stars and other astronomical bodies, including planets, comets and asteroids, held
together by gravity.
There are many different physical forms and measurements of galaxies. These include the spiral, barrel-
spiral and elliptical. Our galaxy, called the Milky Way, is approximately 100,000 light years in width and
contains over billion stars.
The centre of galaxies can contain many young, very hot stars as well as older stars. Swirling clouds that
have been energized by magnetic forces also exist in the centre.
At this point in time, no one knows the exact number of galaxies in the universe. Astronomers are, however,
learning more and more about them every day.

Carnivorous plants, such as the sundew and the Venus-flytrap, are generally found in humid areas where
there is an inadequate supply of nitrogen in the soil. In order to survive, these plants have developed
mechanisms to trap insects within their foliage. They have digestive fluids to obtain the necessary nitrogen from
the insects.
These plants trap the insects in a variety of ways. The sundew has sticky hair on its leaves; when an insect
lands on these leaves, it gets caught up in the sticky hairs, and the leaf wraps itself around the insect.
The leaves of the Venus-flytrap function more likely a trap, snapping suddenly and forcefully shut around
an insect.

through the water by swinging its tail fins back and forth. A fish uses its other fins to steer and to stop.
