shell. Finally, they are coated with color!

CHOOSE THE CORRECT TEXT STRUCTURE.
Although it may be tempting, eating too much candy
can have a negative impact on your body and how you
feel. Munching on too much candy can cause cavities
in your teeth from all of the sugar. It is also very high
in “empty” calories, which means the calories provide
you no nutrients, just fat and calories from sugar!
This can cause you to gain too much unhealthy weight.
Too much sugar can also cause you to have a “foggy”
brain, slowing down your memory and making you
tired.

Before humans developed written language, they created pictures on rocks. This "rock art" often portrays animals or abstract designs. The pictures could have been records of events, plans, or messages. There are two basic types: pictographs and petroglyphs. Pictographs were drawn or painted on the surface of rocks with pigments such as charcoal, blood, or chalk. Petroglyphs, on the other hand, were scratched or carved into the rock itself. With some petroglyphs, only the surface layer of rock is removed, showing a lighter color of rock beneath the outer layer. Other petroglyphs consist of carvings cut deep in the rock. Most pictographs have faded, while petroglyphs have endured longer.

While there are many Chinese restaurants in the United States, the food these restaurants serve is not the same as that served in China. Starting with the basics, the service of water differs. In the United States, most restaurants serve cold water with every meal, whether the customers ask for it or not. In China, however, cold water is never served. Restaurants in China serve hot water or tea. Food ingredients are also not the same. The Chinese use ingredients such as pig ears, chicken feet, duck blood, and jellyfish, which most Americans aren't used to eating. American restaurants, unlike Chinese ones, use broccoli, onion, and dairy products in their recipes. Finally, fortune cookies, so popular in the U.S., are an American invention not generally available in China.
