Task 1 . Distinguish Fact from Opinion. Two of the statements below present facts, which can be proved. The other statement is an opinion, which expresses someone’s thoughts or beliefs. Label the statements F for fact and O for opinion.
1. . Ice carves are often sculptors of chefs.
2. . An ice carving is more elegant than a snow sculpture.
3. At some ice carving contests, teams make massive sculptures from 25 blocks of ice
Photosynthesis is a process used by plants to convert light energy of the Sun into chemical energy to generate their own food. Photosynthesis process from start to finish:
1) Plants absorb water (H2O) and mineral salts from the soil through their roots.
2) Plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air through stomata (small pores) of leaves.
3) Chlorophyll traps sunlight energy to make food, in other words, to convert water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) into oxygen (O2), sugar and starch.
4) Plants give off (release) oxygen into the air (through stomata of leaves) and store/use sugar and starch for their growth.
Additional information:
- Plants absorb carbon dioxide just like we breathe oxygen. Plants "breathe" carbon dioxide in and "breathe out" (release) oxygen as a waste product.
- Plants absorb sunlight energy using a compound (pigment) called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is green, which is why so many plants appear green. Chlorophyll is in structures (organelles) called chloroplasts that are inside plants’ cells. Hence, photosynthesis process takes place in the chloroplasts.
- Starch turns iodine dark blue.
Перевод:
Фотосинтез - это процесс, используемый растениями для преобразования световой энергии Солнца в химическую энергию для производства собственной пищи. Процесс фотосинтеза от начала до конца:
1) растения поглощают воду (H2O) и минеральные соли из почвы через свои корни.
2) растения поглощают углекислый газ (CO2) из воздуха через устьице (мелкие поры) листьев.
3) хлорофилл поглощает энергию солнечного света для производства пищи, другими словами, для преобразования воды (H2O) и углекислого газа (CO2) в кислород (O2), сахар и крахмал.
4) растения выделяют кислород в воздух (через устьице листьев) и хранят/используют сахар и крахмал для своего роста.
Дополнительная информация:
- Растения поглощают углекислый газ так же, как мы дышим кислородом. Растения "вдыхают" углекислый газ и "выдыхают" (выделяют) кислород в виде отходов.
- Растения поглощают солнечную энергию с соединения (пигмента), называемого хлорофиллом. Хлорофилл зеленый, поэтому так много растений выглядят зелеными. Хлорофилл находится в структурах (органеллах), называемых хлоропластами, которые находятся внутри клеток растений. Следовательно, процесс фотосинтеза происходит в хлоропластах.
- Крахмал становится темно-синим.
I was happy to take part in the exchange programme and to go to college in Britain. An opportunity to spend two MONTHS in London sounded fantastic.
Our teacher told us that we would live in a student hostel. It was going to be MORE CONVENIENT than staying with a host family as the hostel was very close to the college.
When we arrived in London, the FIRST thing we had was a bus excursion round the British capital. Unfortunately, when we WERE PASSING Westminster Abbey, it started to rain hard.We had to go down to the lower level of our double-decker and we DIDN'T MANAGE to enjoy the wonderful sights.
Anyway, London is very impressive. People from all over the world live there. Some of THEM come as tourists, others choose this place to study or to work in. It is a dynamic multicultural city, though there ARE so many historical buildings in it.
Amazingly, many of the houses WERE BUILT centuries ago!
