Unit I: Rover, the DogMy dog, Rover, is so difficult to control.
He is always getting on the couch when I am not in the room. I
always tell him to get off of the furniture, but he just lies there
looking at me. Last week, I was sitting on the couch with my
girlfriend. He jumped up on the couch and tried to get between us.
I immediately yelled, "Get down!", but he just sat there, desperate
for attention. When I eat dinner, he always gets under the table
and begs for food. Another problem is that I live next to a main
road. He somehow gets out of the house and gets over the fence. Im
afraid he is going to get hurt. And last week, he got into my
closet and chewed up my shoes. I dont know how he got in- I usually
keep the door closed. I think I need to take him to an obedience
school.Available at: . Access in: Oct. 2006.

JERRY: Oh no! Really? He's such a poser! TONY: And you know how
much he loves his new mobile phone. He's always so proud of the
fact that it's the smallest mobile phone on the market and that
also means its very easy to lose. OK, anyway, apparently, he was
out for a drive last weekend when someone _________________ him
_________. Of course, he would never think of not answering it, so
he started ______________________ it. I heard that he was looking
under his seat, so worried about finding and answering the phone
that he must have forgotten to steer the car, and he
_________________________ the road, and ________________________ a
tree in a farmer's field. JERRY: Oh my goodness! Is he OK? TONY:
Oh, yes! He's fine, physically! But he's very embarrassed. Because
there was no other car involved, his insurance company are not
going to pay to fix his car, the farmer is suing him for damage to
his property, and the police are thinking of prosecuting him for
driving without due care and attention!(Adapted from: . Access in:

Last Summer, I painted my bedroom. It took about one week to finish
the job. First, I washed the ceiling and the walls by using warm
water and mild detergent. Then, I sealed the chinks and the pores
with putty. After the putty dried, I could paint the ceiling and
the walls. I used latex paint because its easy to apply and cleans
up with water. I needed middle week to finish this part of the job.
I was very careful to apply the paint evenly because I did not want
to have to apply two coats. I used a very close color to the
original one. I needed to use a ladder to paint the ceiling and the
upper parts of the walls. When I finished the job, I felt a great
deal of satisfaction. I had to pat myself on the back. Even my dad
said that I did a good job.(Adapted from: . Access: Dec./2009).

Childrens Day is a holiday in many countries around the world.
Brazil Childrens Day is celebrated on October 12, which is also the
day of Our Lady of Aparecida, a public holiday in Brazil.
United States Childrens Day is held on the 2nd Sunday in
June.
Brazil October 15 is Teachers Day in Brazil. In 1947, teachers
from a small school in So Paulo organized the first celebration of
Teachers Day on this day. The date was chosen because, on October
15, 1827, Dom Pedro I approved a decree regulating the elementary
schools in Brazil. The celebration gained popularity throughout the
country, and October 15 was officially designated Teachers Day in
1963. In United States, National Teacher Day falls during Teacher
Appreciation Week, which takes place in the first full week of May.
Students often show appreciation for their teachers with token
gifts. The National Education Association describes National
Teacher Day as a day for honoring teachers and recognizing the
lasting contributions they make to our lives.Avalable at: . Access

Thanksgiving is celebrated in the United States on the fourth
Thursday in November with a large feast of turkey, sweet potatoes,
cramberry sauce, and pumpkin pie for dessert. In September 1620, a
group of English people came to America seeking religious freedom.
They were called the Pilgrims. Their first winter in America was
difficult because they didnt have enough food and many Pilgrims
died. The Indians taught them how to survive. The Pilgrims wanted
to give thanks for their new life and new friends. So they invited
the Indians to participate in their feast. This was the first
Thanksgiving and was celebrated in 1621 in Massachusetts.Adapted
from ;< http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Pilgrim_(Plymouth_Colony).
