TIGER – MY<br />
FAVORITE ANIMAL<br />
Tigers live in Asia, Caucasus, Caspian Sea, Siberia and Indonesian<br />
islands. Their habitats are forests, grasslands, savannahs and taiga<br />
forests. If you want to see a tiger you can go to the zoo. In the wild<br />
they could kill you.<br />
It’s a wild animal and a beast. Tigers are very heavy and long<br />
animals. It is a big orange cat with black stripes. It has got black<br />
stripes. It has got quite big head, a snout, whiskers, small eyes,<br />
small ears, a mouth, quite a big body, four legs, four paws with<br />
sharp claws and a long tail. It has got sharp senses. The legs are<br />
quite long. The teeth have to be sharp, because it eats other animals.<br />
A tiger is a dangerous animal. It’s also quite quiet, strong and brave.<br />
In the wild the tiger feeds on large and medium-sized animals like<br />
deer, buffalo, fish, young rhino and many more. Tigers can run<br />
really fast. It can rip off any animal’s skin with its teeth.<br />
I like tigers because they have a good pattern and look like Garfield.<br />

I sur rviveed<br />
a plane p e crassh<br />
My name is Johhn<br />
Smith. I’ ’m 42 yearss<br />
old. This story s takes place p in the 1<br />
I woorked<br />
for the e US army.<br />
st World War W where<br />
Sept tember 25<br />
The<br />
thou<br />
then<br />
Whe<br />
there<br />
sear<br />
over<br />
army<br />
whe<br />
the n<br />
th 11918<br />
final days of the war and itts<br />
final missio on were closerr<br />
and closer. I was determin ned for that miission.<br />
I flew alone a to Germmany.<br />
Well I<br />
ught I did, but something was<br />
wrong with h my compasss,<br />
so instead I flew to the Am mazon. I realiized<br />
that when n I saw the junngle.<br />
But by<br />
n it was too latte.<br />
I was hit. I didn’t even see<br />
from wheree<br />
the shot cam me. I was reall ly scared becaause<br />
I had a nu uclear bomb oonboard.<br />
en I crashed, I was surprised<br />
that the bom mb didn’t bloww<br />
up and that I was still aliv ve. Later, I fouund<br />
out that th he bomb was ffake.<br />
In it<br />
e was a Germman<br />
spy. He diddn’t<br />
survive th he crash. I alsso<br />
found out th hat he was the e one that disab abled the comp pass. I quicklyy<br />
started the<br />
rch for food annd<br />
water. I gott<br />
rid of the dea ad body and sset<br />
a camp in the t crashed plane.<br />
I was doiing<br />
almost the e same thing oover<br />
and<br />
r again for twoo<br />
months. Onee<br />
of those last t days was diff fferent. In one of those days s I found a seccret<br />
base that belonged b to thhe<br />
German<br />
y. I got in therre<br />
undetected and destroyed d the base justt<br />
before the US U army arrive ed. I was finallly<br />
safe. They took me backk<br />
to the base<br />
ere my family was waiting ffor<br />
me. We we ent home and had an amazi ing dinner. Tw wo weeks laterr<br />
I became a hero h and the general<br />
of<br />
new and imprroved<br />
US armyy.<br />

CRASH<br />
H IN THHE<br />
JUN NGLE<br />
It was July, , one of the hhottest<br />
month hs in the yeaar.<br />
I was at th he airport, wa aiting for my plane. My in ntention was to go to<br />
Braz zil for a month.<br />
I was wondering,<br />
this would be a great advent ture, such a nice vacationn!<br />
Sunbathin ng, swimmingg<br />
and<br />
slee eping all day, , every day ffor<br />
a whole month! m I coulddn’t<br />
wait. All was well on the way but it went wron ng quickly.<br />
My plane wwas<br />
finally theere<br />
and it wa as time for me<br />
to go on it. . I was in the e first class oon<br />
the plane and it was like<br />
in the<br />
pres sidential apaartment.<br />
I gott<br />
everything I wanted. Weell...<br />
let me explain<br />
what happened neext.<br />
We were e flying and eeverything<br />
was s okay. Then something bburst.<br />
I was shocked. s Eveerybody<br />
was s calm, so I th hought nothing<br />
happened d. I was sick.<br />
I had a<br />
hea adache. I wass<br />
wondering, , what was happening.<br />
Thhen<br />
the stew wardess was in panic. She<br />
screamed. . I asked herr<br />
what<br />
was s going on. SShe<br />
was cryinng.<br />
She said that we weree<br />
crashing. I was shocke ed again. I coouldn’t<br />
believ ve her. I evenn<br />
asked<br />
her, , if she was jooking<br />
because<br />
the first of<br />
April had gone<br />
by a lon ng time ago. But she criedd<br />
again. She e told me thatt<br />
nothing<br />
like that ever haappened<br />
to her.<br />
We were all panic. WWe<br />
didn’t know w what to do.<br />
And then... .BOOOM! I was w in a comma<br />
for the<br />
next<br />
five hours. Then I wokee<br />
up in a brok ken plane. MMaybe<br />
you do on’t know tha at feeling but once you ar re in a broken<br />
plane,<br />
you feel as if you<br />
were half ddead.<br />
At leas st that’s how I felt. I didn’t t even know where I wass.<br />
I was so sc cared. Then I figured it<br />
out. I was in the jungle, nearr<br />
the Amazon n River and I was the onl ly one who survived.<br />
Oh my gosh. Lo ooking over thhose<br />
dead<br />
bodies<br />
was so ssad<br />
that I couuldn’t<br />
help myself,<br />
so I cried.<br />
Then I had h to go out t of that unluccky<br />
plane. I couldn’t c evenn<br />
breathe<br />
anymore.<br />
But beefore<br />
I went oout,<br />
I took the<br />
pilot’s ruckksack<br />
just in case. Later I realized thaat<br />
taking it wa as indeed a good idea!<br />
The ere were so mmany<br />
useful things for saving<br />
my life. There was a huge bottle e of water, a blanket, a la amp, a box off<br />
matches,<br />
a ha ammer, somee<br />
rope, a kniife<br />
and scissors<br />
in that ruucksack!<br />
It was<br />
dark and I decided to go to sleep. I slept undeer<br />
some<br />
bushes<br />
and somme<br />
trees. At nnight<br />
it was cold, c so I wraapped<br />
myself<br />
in a blanket.<br />
Then the nnext<br />
day cam me and it wass<br />
so hot! It<br />
was s about 35°CC.<br />
I drank a bit<br />
of water. I was hungry. . At first, I ate e some fruit that t I picked from the tree es, but that wwasn’t<br />
eno ough for an adult.<br />
So I waas<br />
starving fo or the next thhree<br />
hours. I explored the e jungle and tthen<br />
I was surprised.<br />
Didd<br />
I hear a<br />
river?<br />
So I followwed<br />
the sounnd<br />
and I foun nd it. I thoughht<br />
to myself: “I am so luck ky!” I cut a sttick<br />
with a kn nife. Then thee<br />
second<br />
day passed andd<br />
it was night again. I took k my lamp annd<br />
my stick. I was going to catch somme<br />
fish and I did. Then I mmade<br />
fire<br />
with h some stickss<br />
and some mmatches<br />
from m the rucksaack.<br />
I baked the t fish and I wasn’t starvving<br />
anymore e. Then I heaard<br />
some<br />
stra ange bird andd<br />
animal voicces<br />
around me m and I trulyy<br />
thought tha at those anim mals were goiing<br />
to eat me e. But I wasnn’t<br />
loud so<br />
they y couldn’t findd<br />
me. Two mmore<br />
days pa assed. I drannk<br />
water, I ate e fish and fru uits, I washedd<br />
myself in a river and soo<br />
on. Then<br />
the fifth day camme.<br />
I becamee<br />
a real Tarza an in that junngle.<br />
I caught<br />
one more fish<br />
for my brreakfast.<br />
Actually<br />
I ate fissh<br />
all<br />
day every day; for breakfast,<br />
for lunch, and a for dinneer.<br />
Then I clim mbed on a high<br />
tree and then a mirac cle happenedd.<br />
I saw a<br />
resc cue helicopteer<br />
which camme<br />
to find me e. I grabbed ssome<br />
sticks and a some matches<br />
and I made a hug ge fire. Peopple<br />
in that<br />
helic copter saw mme<br />
and they came for me e. They gavee<br />
me more water<br />
to drink because I diidn’t<br />
have an ny of it anymore.<br />
We<br />
flew w back to my country and I finally esca aped from thhat<br />
jungle.<br />
The first thiing<br />
I did wheen<br />
I came back<br />
home? I aate<br />
somethin ng that wasn’ t fish. This wwas<br />
such a good g adventuure<br />
actu ually. I learneed<br />
so much. Now I even know how too<br />
survive if yo ou crash with h an airplanee<br />
in the jungle e and you arre<br />
the only<br />
one e who survivees,<br />
but I’m suure<br />
that I’m not n going to ffly<br />
by plane anymore. a The e next day I wwas<br />
on TV and a in all of thhe<br />
new wspapers.<br />

Dear<br />
I wou uld like tto<br />
share some in nformatiion<br />
with h you regarding<br />
a thing that hass<br />
chang ged our lives, thhe<br />
computer.<br />
Thhe<br />
compu uter is a really immportan<br />
nt thing<br />
in our<br />
lives nnowadayys,<br />
since it can provide<br />
us u with informat i tion,<br />
entertainmennt,<br />
musicc<br />
and mu uch morre.<br />
The compute c er is a mmachine<br />
with w<br />
many y advanttages,<br />
foor<br />
examp ple: you can use e the inte ernet to browse e for<br />
anyth hing, from<br />
informmation<br />
to t transllations.<br />
But, of course, c tthe<br />
computer<br />
haas<br />
disadvantagees<br />
as well,<br />
but th hey are a lot diff ferent th han the aadvantages,<br />
for<br />
exam mple: youu<br />
can beecome<br />
ad ddicted to it, try y to avo oid this bbecause<br />
it can<br />
really y hurt yoour<br />
mentality<br />
an nd sanityy.<br />
The co omputer r has a vvery<br />
spec cific rolee<br />
in my y life as iit<br />
has in anyone e else's. In<br />
any ca ase, the computer<br />
helps me with<br />
schoo ol work like hommework<br />
and powwerpoin<br />
nt presen ntations but it provides p<br />
me with w commmunicattion<br />
as well, w I taalk<br />
with my frien nds via sskype<br />
ev very dayy,<br />
this is s anotheer<br />
advanntage<br />
tha at is relatted<br />
to th he comp puter. I ccan<br />
also play<br />
video o games for enteertainme<br />
ent but I make sure<br />
not to overddo<br />
it.<br />
You can c alwaays<br />
use yyour<br />
com mputer ffor<br />
yout t persona al enterttainment<br />
but it<br />
also comes c inn<br />
handy when you y needd<br />
to writ te an ess say or mmake<br />
a<br />
powe erpoint ppresentaation,<br />
I spend s almost<br />
my y whole e day at my com mputer<br />
and I know tthat<br />
isn't good but b I still do ever rything there, t allthough<br />
the<br />
reaso onable thhing<br />
to ddo<br />
would<br />
be jusst<br />
using it i for homeworkk<br />
and th hen going<br />
out. Neverth N eless I wwill<br />
conti inue usinng<br />
it in my m own n way foor<br />
as long g as it<br />
suits me. m Hoppe<br />
this ggave<br />
you u an ideaa<br />
of the comput ter, I perrsonally<br />
enjoy<br />
using it and I hope you<br />
do to oo.<br />
