"The Road Not Taken"
by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Which road do you think he chose?

Sea

Leonard Clark

Over the hill

First sight of the sea

Lying sunlit and still

Just waiting for me.

I race from the land

In the clear morning light

To rock pool and sand,

Shells whiter than white.

Birds ride the sky,

The wispy clouds there

Soft floating, and I

Am walking on air.

Read the report text entitled What is Refrigerator? with correct intonation and pronunciation. Then answer the following questions.

What is refrigerator?

    A refrigerator is a machine for keeping things cold. It is sometimes called a fridge or an icebox. People put food and drinks in it, to keep those items cold or good (unspoiled) for a longer time. In the refrigeration cycle,  there are five basic components: (i) fluid refrigerant; (ii) a compressor, which controls the flow of refrigerant; (iii) the condenser coils (on the outside of the fridge); (iv) the evaporator coils (on the inside of the fridge); and (v) something called an expansion device. In general, a refrigerator can be seen as a heat pump. It takes heat away from the air inside the fridge. The heat gets added to the air from outside. For this, it usually uses electricity.

    There are also ice boxes available that do not use electricity because they are filled with ice to provide the colder temperature. The ice can keep things cold until the ice melts. These ice boxes can be taken on camping trips. Sometimes they are called coolers. Refrigerator sized iceboxes were used before electricity was available. Most modern refrigerators are available in a variety of colors, although normally fridges are white.

What is cooler?

Rainbow

     Almost everyone very likes a natural phenomenon called the rainbow. To the extent that a lot of people create an art work like song, cake, and the other work after seeing the beautiful colors of the rainbow. But, do you know how the phenomenon of the appearance of the rainbow happens?

    Rainbow occurs because of the refraction of light. The sunlight that shines in between the rain drops is refracted by the rain drops. This process separates the white light of the sunlight into a spectrum of different colors.

     The spectrum of colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Or what we often memorize as the abbreviation "ROY G BIV / mejikuhibiniu.” Then the colors reflect in the back drops of rain, resulting the light which looks arched and becomes the rainbow.
