The most unusual pets Elephant They live in Africa. Her/his body color is gray. Elephant ears have thick bases with thin tips. Elephants usually have 26 theeth. An elephant’s skin is generally very tough. In walking, the legs act as pendulums, with the hips shoulders rising and falling while the foot is planted on the ground.Fast- moving elephants appear to ’run’ with their front legs, but ’walk’ with their hind legs and can reach a top speed of 18 km/h (11mph). Elephants eat massive amounts of food — in the case of the African elephant, as much as 660 pounds¹ in a single day. They communicate by touch, sight, and sound; elephants use infrasound, and seismic communication over long distances. I choosed that animal becose I love this animal and it's so big and strong.

Usually they are red and could be found in different shapes); · Asian Elephants (Thailand people make money by selling riding tours with elephants for tourists). Elephants have their guides men who spend their whole life together with the particular elephant. Elephants in Thailand are as important as humans; · The national symbol of Thailand is Garuda(a half bird, half figure) · The Thai language is Thailand's national language (written in its own alphabets but many areas have their own local dialects)
Mostly it is caused by our selfish attitude: we do not take care of nature. Zoo is one of the solutions to help to preserve nature and to protect it from poachers. For example Loxodonta africana is an African elephant who has been hunt down and whose population was significantly reduced in 20th century.The population in the Tanzanian Selous Game Reserve, once the largest of any reserve in the world, dropped from 109 000 in 1976 to 13 000 in 2013. 85 000 elephants were lost to poaching in Tanzania between 2009 and 2014. Even though zoos compared to reserves are really small, they are still important in preserving animal species. Also, some of the animals lose their natural habitat completely due to the natural disasters or something even worse like pollution caused by who?-human being. It is really hard to accept the fact that we are trying to protect something from ourselves. Giant panda in south central China does not have a "home" anymore
has a diet which is 99% bamboo. Like most subtropical mammals, but unlike most bears, the giant panda does not hibernate. The Giant Panda is endangered as there are only 2,000-3,000 of them living in the wild and about 270 living in captivity. They have become endangered due to the destruction of their habitat and the variety of bamboo that is decreasing. They are also illegally hunted for their fur. To protect them, there have been many special wildlife parks set up. Elephants live in Central Africa and are the largest land animals alive today. They eat grass, twigs and some fruit. In many Asian countries elephants are symbols of wisdom and are famed for their memory and high intelligence. Once numbering in the millions, the African elephant population has dwindled to between 470,000 and 690,000 individuals because of people hunting them for their tusks. The elephant is now a protected species worldwide, also the hunting and trading of
RETSENSIOON Mina käisin 31. juulil 2012. aastal vaatamas Red Hot Chili Peppersi konsertit, mis toimus Tallinna Lauluväljakul. Koos peaesineja, Red Hot Chili Peppersiga, oli ka kaks soojendusesinejat: Eestist pärit rokkbänd `'Elephants From Neptune'' ja Suurbritanniast pärinev `'The Vaccines''. Kontsert, koos kahe soojendus- ning peaesinejaga, kestis kokku u. 4½ tundi, kusjuures väravad avati juba kell 16.00. Kontserti ametlik algus oli 19.00 ning lõpp 00.30. Red Hot Chili Peppers on neljaliikmeline rock-bänd, mis on võitnud mitu Grammy auhinda. Bänd on pärit Californiast ja moodustati aastal 1983 Los Angeleses. Hoolimata sellest, et bänd
War I later known as ,,the Lost Generation". The Hemingway's style could be characterised like this: a lot of dialogues, hidden morals and messanges in stories and interesting titles. I am going to write about short-stories written by Ernest Hemingway. It is based on the book ,,The cat in the rain" which includes stories ,,A canary for one", ,,Indian camp", ,,Cat in the rain" and ,,Hills like white elephants". I am going to analyse three stories of this book - ,,A canary for one, ,,Cat in the rain" and ,,Hills like white elephants" The title is one of the most important part of the story. It is something that attracts you to read the story or the book. If the title is boring you do not want to read the book, but when it is mystical and ambiguous you just want to know what is the story about. All the titles of these three stories were methaphores and connected with animals

Dear Thailand Getaway representative I am writing to you regarding my recent holiday with you and I have some problems in this regard. The holiday you advertised included snorkelling, but it turned out that you did not have the necessary equipment that I had to buy for myself. Bicycle rental was also part of the holiday package, but unfortunately there were no free bicycles to rent, which made me spend too much on transport. Also, the ride with the elephants did not go as planned, because the queue was long and I had to wait a very long time. I was also very disappointed by the beach, because the beautiful sandy beach you promised turned out to be dirty and very crowded. As this holiday not only caused me inconvenience and frustration, but also caused additional costs, I request you to compensate the costs incurred in the amount of 150 euros. I look forward to receiving your response. Yours faithfully, Mari Mets

summers. Over that period they were able to map out most of the buildings there.They discovered more fragments of the temple’s sculpture, and located the remains of the pool in the floor that contained the oil fot the statue. In the 1950’s an excavation uncovered the workshop of Phidias which covered beneath an early Christian Church.Archaeologists found sculptor’s tools, a pit fot casting bronze, clay moulds, modelling plaster and even a portion of the elephants tusks which had supplied the ivory for the statue. Today, the stadium at the site has been restored. Little is left of the temple though, except a few columns.Of the statue, which was perhaps the most wonderful work at Olympia, all is gone by now.

Vali iga kunstniku tööde hulgast üks meeldivaim ja kirjelda seda viie lausega. René Magritte" La Clairvoyance" Pildil istub mees, kes maalib. Mees näeb munast midagi palju rohkemat, kui see tegelikult on. Maalilt on näha väga head kujutlusvõimet. Pildi toonid on sünged. Mehe silmist võib näha elukogemust, kuid kurb tõsiasi on see, et muna, millest oleks pidanud saama hetkel maalitav koolibri ei muutu kunagi selleks linnuks. Salvador Dali"Elephants" Pildil on kujutatud elevante. Elevantidel on ebaloomulikult pikad jalad, mis on väga peenikesed. Nende jalge ees on kaks väikest inimest. Elevandid kannavad turjal samba moodi raskust, kuid nad ei kanna sambaid füüsiliselt, vaid vaimselt. Sellest võib ka järeldada, miks sambad hõljuvad. Max Ernst" The Nymph Echo" Nimi: Pilt on süngetes toonides. Pildil on eristatavaid inimese jäsemeid, kuid inimest pole täielikult näha
õppima fotograafiat Alexey Brodovitch´i käe all. Nad said väga lähedaseks ning Brodovitch palkas Avedoni Harpers Bazaari ajakirja fotograafiks. Mõne aasta möödudes paluti tal teha fotod kevade ning sügise kollektsioonidest Pariisis. 1940ndatel ja varastel 50ndatel lõi ta elegantsed mustvalged moefotod pariisi tänavatel, autodes ning kohvikutes. Ta oli juba tuntud ning hinnatud noor moefotograaf, kuid ajalukku läks ta oma ikoonilise fotoga tsirkuses: ,,Dovima with elephants", kus kujutas ühte väga tuntud modelli mustvalges Diori kleidis (Lisa 9).Avedon oli Harpers Bazaari fotograaf 20 aastat. Eriti on ta aga kuulsust kogunud oma mustvalgete portreefotodega, nende hulgas väga tuntud inimesed, nagu näiteks Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, John F Kennedy jpt (Lisa 10). Avedon lahkus Harpers Bazaarist 1965, pärast mida asus tööle Vogue´is. Ta jätkas moefotograafia piiride lükkamist oma sürreaalsete ning provokatiivsete fotodega, millelt võis
• How to avoid palm oil in your diet – avoid packaged and processed foods. Cook your own meals from natural whole foods Impacts on environment • Oil palms are grown in tropics – Asia, Africa, Latin America • Large areas of tropical forests and other ecosystems with high conservation values have been cleared to make room for vast monoculture of oil palm plantations. This clearing has destroyed critical habitat for many endangered species—including rhinos, elephants, tigers and orang-utans – the biggest victims • Burning forests to make room for the crop is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. Intensive cultivation methods result in soil pollution and erosion and water contamination Impact on inhabitants • Oil palm plantations are a threat to people living in rainforests, destroying their livelihoods and culture • Small farmers and indigenous people are being forced off their ancestral land
The Indefinite Article has two forms – a and an (a precedes words beginning with a consonant sound and an precedes words beginning with a vowel sound). It comes from the Old English word ãn, which meant one. The Definite Article is the. It comes from the Old English word ţis, which meant this. Thus, in most general terms, a and an cannot be used with countable nouns in the plural and with uncountable nouns. Countable nouns are names of the things you can count (one elephant, two elephants, three elephants, etc). Uncountable nouns are names of the things you cannot normally count (love, air, philosophy, etc). The can usually be used when we mean this. The Indefinite Article – a/an (= one!) can only be used with singular countable nouns. a child, a book, an elephant, an apple On the other hand, singular countable nouns cannot be used without any determiner. Determiners are both articles (a/an and the) and different pronouns (e.g

Tegelase identiteet on probleemne: me ei tea ta mõtteid ega tundeid (nt Hemingway "Hills Like White Elephants"). Väline fokalisatsioon ei puuduta üksnes "väärtkirjandust". Ka seiklusnovellis, kus ei räägita kohe kõike, mida teatakse, vaid tekitatakse põnevust teatud müstilisuse või teadmatuse efektiga, kasutatakse teose alguses välist fokalisatsiooni (W.Scott, J. Verne, A. Dumas). Veel enam, eri vaatepunktide eristamine ei ole alati sama selge kui fookustüüpide uurimisel võiks järeldada.

A fifteen kilometer tamped-earth ramp was built to transport marble and materials to the construction site. Teams of twenty or thirty oxen were strained to pull blocks on specially constructed wagons. The plinth and tomb took roughly 12 years to complete. The remaining parts of the complex took an additional 10 years. Facts: The Taj Mahal was constructed using materials from all over India and Asia. Over 1,000 elephants were used to transport building materials during the construction. The translucent white marble was brought from Rajasthan, the jasper from Punjab, jade and crystal from China. The turquoise was from Tibet and the Lapis lazuli from Afghanistan, while the sapphire came from Sri Lanka and the carnelian from Arabia. In all, twenty eight types of precious and semi-precious stones were inlaid into the white marble. Exterior decoration
on the south coast, in the Fishbourne area of West Sussex. The Romans defeated the Catuvellauni and their allies in two battles: the first, assuming a Richborough landing, on the river Medway, the second on the Thames. One of the Catuvellaunian leaders, Togodumnus, was killed, but his brother Caratacus survived to continue resistance elsewhere. Plautius halted at the Thames and sent for Claudius, who arrived with reinforcements, including artillery and elephants, for the final march to the Catuvellaunian capital, Camulodunum . The future emperor Vespasian subdued the southwest,Cogidubnus was set up as a friendly king of several territories, and treaties were made with tribes outside the area under direct Roman control.Romans built many roads and also many great bulidings like the Hadrians wall.

The meat from Australian cattle is sold to countries all over the world. Most of its workers do not work in factories or on farms. Two-thirds of them work in shops, offices, banks or schools. Animals, birds and plants. A strange thing happened when ocean blocked off this island continent. Appearently none of the mammals that survived in Australia were of the sort that later changed into the familliar mammals of the rest of the world. The ancestors of cats and tigers, of wolves and dogs, of elephants and sheep just were not there. As a result,the reptilelike mammals that have died out everywhere else in the world are alive in Australia. The higher groups of mammals that developed in the rest of the world after Australia was cut off had to be brought there millions of years later by the colonists. Australia is,in fact, a continent-sized museum of ancient animals, modernised along certain lines by their own separate evolution. Two of the strangest animals in the world are the spiny

population sizes can change much more rapidly). Traits that are thought to be characteristic of K-selection include: large body size, long life expectancy, and the production of fewer offspring that require extensive parental care until they mature. Organisms whose life history is subject to K-selection are often referred to as K-strategists or K-selected. Organisms with K-selected traits include large organisms such as elephants, trees, humans and whales, but also smaller, long-lived organisms such as Arctic Terns. 11.

Non-arguments Not all passages are arguments. Examples: Simple non-inferential passages where nothing is said to be proved. ● Be careful! (Warning or piece of advice) ● I believe that good behaviour is always rewarded (Statement of believe or opinion) ● The protest started at 3pm. The main place was crowded… (Report about something) Expository passages where we develop an opening sentence (without attempting to prove it). ● There are two types of elephants: the African elephant and the Asian elephant. African elephant has large ears and both females and males have tusks. The Asian elephant has smaller ears and only males develop tusks. Conditional statements of the form “if...then…”. ● If it rains, then I will take my umbrella. Conditional itself is not an argument. Conditionals are formed by an Antecendent (‘it rains’) and a Consequent (‘I will take my umbrella’)
