Obesity has become a major health issue for North Americans, and this problem is aggravated by the lack of physical activity in large segments of the population. In addition to healthier eating habits, one solution would be to make it easier for obese North Americans to exercise on a daily basis. This could be done at work, before and after the shift, to ensure full participation in the program. This program would be beneficial to obese employees as they would be required to participate twice daily to help decrease obesity among North Americans.

Deforestation is a serious problem because forests and trees aren't just pretty to look at, they do an important job making the earth's environment suitable for life. They clean the air, store water, preserve soil, and provide homes for animals. They also supply food, fuel, wood products, and paper products for humans. In the past 50 years, more than half of the world's rainforests have been destroyed. Today the forests of the world are being cut down at a rate of 50 acres every minute! Scientists say that if deforestation continues, the world's climate may change, and floods may become more common, and animals will die.

1. Wouldn’t you like a scary dinosaur model on your desk to protect your pencils and textbooks? You can easily make one by following these simple directions. First, bend your pipe cleaner to make the frame of your dinosaur. I suggest you create a tyrannosaurus frame by using one long pipe cleaner as his neck, spine, and tail, and then bend another into a u-shape to make his feet. Wrap the feet around the spine piece. Next, roll out clay to wrap around the pipe cleaners. Let the clay dry overnight. The next day you may want to paint your dinosaur using non-toxic paint. His eyes should be white, but feel free to color your dinosaur as you wish. Nobody really knows how dinosaurs were colored, so don’t let anyone tell you that your dinosaur can’t be pink. Lastly, put him on your desk and watch as he or she scares away bullies and pencil thieves.

1. Getting a free pizza from Mortini’s Pizza Parlor is as easy as pie, pizza pie. You’ll see. Start by placing your order. I suggest that you choose a white, New York style pizza with lots of cheese, but you can get whatever floats your boat. After placing your order, wait until your pizza comes. It may take thirty minutes to an hour (longer on Super Bowl Sunday). When your pizza finally arrives, pay your deliver driver. Don’t forget to tip. Then, eat your pizza, or just throw it away. We’re fine with either. But before you throw it away, grab the coupon off the top of the box and save it in a drawer. Collect ten of these coupons and the next time you place your order from Mortini’s Pizza Parlor, you can redeem them for a free pizza. Now you see, getting a free pizza from Mortini’s is as easy as eating pizza.

1. The bustling city street was a melting pot of cultures, languages, and flavors. Merchants called out from their booths as eager shoppers stopped to examine their wares. Everywhere I looked, people were walking, talking, laughing- the occasional honk of a car horn punctuating the air. The smells were a mix of mouthwatering cuisine from dozens of countries, the sound of different languages intermingling as the conversation drifted through the air.

1. The lush meadow was blanketed in soft green grass, punctuated with wildflowers in all rainbow colors. The sun shone brightly in the sky, warming everything beneath it with its gentle rays. In the distance, a stream babbled peacefully as birds chirped their songs from the trees that lined it. The air was heavy with the sweet scent of honey, and I closed my eyes to take in all of its beauty.

1. In the big tree, there was a cardinal and a robin. Cardinal was a very hard worker. Both birds needed to build a nest. Cardinal went to look for straw and sticks every day, while Robin sat in the tree and watched. Cardinal told Robin that she needed to start making her nest, but Robin thought she'd have time later. So, Robin kept waiting. One morning, Cardinal gathered her last stick and started to get mud. She was forming her nest. She looked at Robin, who was napping on the branch. She was sad for Robin because she knew it was too late. The next day they were ready to lay their eggs. Robin tried to quickly gather straw and sticks for her nest. But she could not find any. Cardinal felt sorry for Robin and shared her nest. She told Robin she wouldn't help next time.

1. Chinese differs from English in several ways, and these differences make learning either language difficult. First, the most complex difference is the word order. For example, in English, a greeting is "how are you?” but in Chinese, the same greeting is "you are how?" Next, in Chinese, verbs do not have past tense; instead, time is known through the adverb. In English however, time is distinguished by tense. Besides these important basic challenges, Chinese and English have many small differences. Chinese for instance does not distinguish between “he” and “she” nor is there a difference between “a” and “an” as there is in English. For these reasons, many English students find it difficult to speak and write in Chinese, and many Chinese students find it difficult to speak and write in English.

1. Have you ever had an ice-cream headache? That’s when a painful sensation resonates in your head after eating something cold (usually ice-cream) on a hot day. This pain is produced by the dilation of a nerve center in the roof of your mouth. The nerve center is overreacting to the cold by trying to heat your brain. Ice-cream headaches have turned many smiles to frowns.

1. Look down at your feet. Are you wearing shoes? Why? People wear shoes many reasons. The first and most important reason is to protect their feet. Shoes keep people from hurting their feet while walking on rough surfaces, but this isn’t the only reason why people wear shoes. Some people wear special shoes that are designed to help them play a game, like bowling shoes or soccer cleats. Some people wear expensive designer shoes so that they appear fashionable and feel good about themselves. And a lot of other people like my dad wear shoes so that their feet won’t stink up the room.
