Spring,
summer, autumn, winter the season change without fail. The Ancient Greek told a
story of how the seasons came to be.
When the
world was new, it was always summer. The goddess Demeter took care of the
earth.
She watered
the plants, crops, and picked up flowers with her beautiful daughter
Persephone.
Below the
earth, Pluto was king of the underworld, where it was always dark and gloomy.
Sometimes he climbed to the banks of the River Styx at the earth. One day he
saw Persephone. He had never seen anyone so beautiful and he fell in love with
instantly, Pluto wanted Persephone to be his wife.
Pluto
harnessed his chariot. He snatched Persephone and thundered back to the
underworld. “Don’t be afraid” he said. I
love you. I will make you my queen.
On earth,
Demeter searched for Persephone and forgot all her work. When she had almost given up hope, she sat by
the River Styx. The water whispered what
had happened.
Demeter ran
to the Zeus, the king of the Gods for help. “It Persephone eats anything in the
underworld, she must stay, said Zeus. Let me send Hermes. My messenger to find
out.
In the
underworld, Persephone is nothing at all. One day Pluto held out pornie granate. It smelled delicious, and when twelve seeds dropped into Persephone’s
hand, she lifted them to her lips. Just at the moment, Hernes arrived in the
underworld. “Stop!” he shouted. But it was too late. Persephone had eaten half
the seeds. “Now, you must stay here forever,”
said Hernes.
Finally,
Zeus decided what would happen. “Because Persephone ate six seeds, she will
live in the underworld for six months of the year. For the eater six months,
she will return to her mother.”
That is why
is spring and summer when Demeter is happy, the sun shines. In autumn, when
Persephone goes back to the underworld, flowers die and trees shed their leaves
as Demeter cries.

There are
many reasons for both sides of the questions, “should we have printed
advertisement?”
Many people
have strong views and feel that ads are nothing more than useless junk mail,
while other people feel they are an important source of information.
Here some
reasons why we should have advertisements in newspapers and magazines. One
reason is ads give us information about what is new in the market. This is an
easy way of shopping. Another reason is that advertisements promote business.
When shop owners compete against each other the buyer saves money, mayor people
come to their shops and they sell more goods.
On the other
hand, some people argue ads should not be put in newspapers and magazines for
these various reasons. Firstly, ads cost the shopkeepers a lot of money to
print into the paper. Also, come people don’t like finding junk mail in their
letter boxes. People may also find the ads not very interesting. And also
influence people to buy items they don’t need and can’t really afford. Ads use
up a lot of space and a lot of efforts has to be made to make the ads
eye-catching. Ads also take up a lot of room in the papers and I don’t think I
find some of them interesting.
In summary,
although ads provide people with information, they cost a lot of money to
print.
Therefore I
think, we should not have printed advertisement.

Speech
production is made possible by the specialized movements of our vocal organs
that generate speech sounds waves.
Like all
sounds production speech productions requires a source of energy. The source of
energy for speech production is the steady stream of air that comes from the
lungs as we exhale. When we breathe normally, the air stream is inaudible. To
become audible, the air stream must vibrate rapidly. The vocal cords cause the
air stream to vibrate.
As we talk,
the vocal cords open and close rapidly, chopping up the steady air stream into
a series of puffs. These puffs are heard as a buzz. But this buzz is still not
speech.
To produce
speech sounds, the vocal tract must change shape. During speech we continually
alter the shape of the vocal tract by moving the tongue and lips, etc. These
movements change the acoustic properties of the vocal tract, which is turn
produce the different sounds of speech.
