Last summer, we decided to spend our vacation at the beach because the weather was very hot in the mountains. The travel agent said that traveling by bus was the cheapest way, but we went by plane because it was faster. We wanted to have more time to spend at the beach. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time.

Traveling by plane was ---- than by bus.

Dear Melissa,

I hope you are well. Guess what! I am having a big party next week at my house and I am inviting all my close friends. The theme of the party is going to be Harry Potter, so all must dress accordingly. You would make a great witch! I need to let everyone know by Wednesday since I am throwing the party next Saturday. Sam is going to decorate the house and my mother is going bake a cake and make lots of food. There is going to be music and dancing as well. John is going to be the DJ. You can stay over at my house. It’s going to be great! I hope to see you then.

Love, Sarah

Dear Daniel,

If you'd like to improve your English, one thing you can do is to build up your vocabulary. In order to do this, you have to practice a lot. I’m afraid there is not a short cut for this. But there are many effective ways. First of all, you should read a lot. You can read short stories, comics, newspapers, magazines etc. depending on your English level. As you read, you can try to guess the meanings of unknown words from the context of the sentence. If you cannot, then look up the definition in a dictionary. English to English dictionary should be your first choice and keep the translator as last. Another way of building vocabulary is to watch movies in English which will also help with pronunciation. Try to be involved with the language as much as you can. Keep a vocabulary notebook and write down a few words each day. Keep in mind that you have to revise them regularly. In my opinion, to communicate with people all you need is words. Even if you just say the words one after another, people most likely will understand what you mean regardless of the order of the words and grammar.

Dear Matilda,

It’s been a month I haven’t heard from you. I hope you are well. I had a terrible day at school yesterday. My friends and I were playing volleyball in the school yard when I suddenly fell and twisted my ankle. At first I didn’t feel much pain, but later on it started hurting badly. I had difficulty walking so my friends helped me around. They took me to a hospital and stayed with me until my mom and dad arrived. The doctor said it was broken and I needed to rest for a month. We came home last night and I feel better now. This incident also made me realize how valuable friendships are. I don't know what I would do without them. So I want to say I feel very happy to have such good friends like you.

Why does the girl feel happy?

The Moon

The Moon is the satellite of the Earth. It is about the quarter size of the Earth. It goes around the Earth approximately in one month. It is about 384,000 kilometers away from the Earth. There is no air or atmosphere around it, so there is no life on the Moon. It has about 13 and a half days daylight and 13 and a half nights of darkness. Temperatures on the Moon is 120 °C during the lunar day and -150 °C during the lunar night. Because there is no air or atmosphere, there is also no sound as the sound waves travel through the air. So, The Moon is very silent.

Why there is no life on the Moon?
