1. I haven't been to Bali Indonesia, but I have read about it. I have
been to Boracay island, that's why I know these two tourist
destination are similar in many ways. Both are small islands. Bali and Boracay boast of international cuisine because people from all over the world visit them. Bali beaches are golden while those of Boracay are white and the sand is fine as the powder. _____________
2. The lack of rain has horrible effects on farmers. With no rain, their land dries up, and it is very difficult to grow anything. When the
crops fall, the farmers have no choice but to get a second job in order to make the money they need. Farming is a full-time job. Many farmers end up selling their land. Some farmers have accepted the government program, The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). ___________________
3. The school today and in the past are similar in a few ways and different in some aspects. Both have a learning room, a teacher and books. However, the classrooms in the past are considered concrete structures where learning should take place. On the other hand, the classrooms today utilize technology like LCD projectors, laptops, and other gadgets. Another is that lesson
plans in the past were from printed materials while lessons of today are from books and other online platforms. No matter how alike and different the schools in the past and today are, what matters most is how effective learning takes place. __________________
4. Boiling is perhaps the safest way to purify cloudy water. You will need a boiling pot, fire, salt, coffee filter or cloth, charcoal and cotton. First, pre-filter the cloudy water with a cotton filter or folded cloth. Then, boil the filtered water. Add a small amount of salt to improve the taste of the water as it is boiling. Next, let the
water cool. Meanwhile, make a cotton and charcoal filter by
crushing the charcoal and putting it in the cotton as the trap. This
will remove impurities and still some bad taste from the boiled
water. Finally, filter the boiled water through the cotton
trap.________________
5. More and more children in the neighborhood were becoming
sick of respiratory diseases, so the barangay officials planned out
some action. The entry of vehicles was limited, so the fumes
exhausted would be lessened. Since smoking cigarettes harms
the health of children, smokers in families were advised not to.
The people were encouraged to plant more trees and other
plants in their yards in order that air around would be clearer.______________​
