My room

We live in a three-room apartment in one of the new residential areas of the town. Our flat has all modern conveniences: running hot and cold water, central heating, gas, telephone, electricity.  There is a lift in our house but as we live on the second floor you won't need it.

Parts of a plant

The roots of a plant serve several purposes. One is to anchor the plant into the soil. They also serve as probes for moisture and minerals. A third function is to absorb water and minerals and send it up to the plant. 

There are two main kinds of roots–the primary root and the secondary roots, which include hair roots. Within the plant, fats and proteins are made by chemical changes in the sugars and starches. 

🎥 Main Film genres

Detective films are movies where someone tries to solve a puzzle or a mystery, like who stole something or who hurt someone. The person who tries to solve the puzzle is called a detective, and they are usually very smart and brave. 

Skateboarding

The first skateboard was created by a California surfer back in the 1950s. He attached roller skate wheels to a piece of wood that resembled a small surfboard so that he could surf on land as well as on the ocean. 

Since then, skateboarding has become a sport, an art form, and a speedy mode of transportation. Today, many young people compete in skateboarding competitions, where they show off their skills and special tricks.
