1. Making ice-cream is not easy. Cream and sugar have to first be mixed in a frozen container. Ingredients may
be added at this point, if desired. The mixture must be stirred and whipped until the cream and sugar mixture is
frozen. Depending on the equipment, this may take as long as an hour. After the ice-cream is prepared, it must be
kept frozen until it is ready to be enjoyed. Making ice-cream is difficult, but most people would agree that it is
worth the trouble.
2. There are two types of people in this world: cat people and dog people. Which type are you? Well, if you like a
pet that is low maintenance, you might be a cat person. Cats are easier to take care of than dogs because cats are
very independent. Since they use litter boxes, they do not have to be taken outside to go potty like dogs. Also,
cats clean themselves while dogs need occasional baths. If you prefer a pet that requires more attention, you may
be a dog person. Most dogs are very loyal and obedient. You can play games like fetch or tug of war with a dog.
Dogs will also alert you when someone is outside of your home, whereas cats will usually just stay quiet. Both
cats and dogs like to be petted, and they both make excellent pets, but it takes a certain kind of person to own
them. Which kind of person are you?
3. Fireworks are beautiful; but as with many beautiful things, they are also dangerous. Misusing fireworks can
result in property damage, injury, and even the loss of life. Such accidents usually happen for one of two reasons.
The operators may be using poorly manufactured products, such as fireworks with fuses that burn too quickly. A
defective firework can cause even the most skilled operator to have an accident. Other times, however, it is the
operator who is at fault. The operator may be unskilled or distracted and make a mistake, such as setting up an
explosion sequence improperly or not accounting for conditions in the environment, like soundproof foaming.
For these reasons even the most beautiful fireworks display can turn really ugly really quickly.
4. Working on a computer may be easier and safer than working in a mine, but it does not come without risks.
Using a computer for a long time can lead to poor eyesight, muscle loosening, back pain, and injuries to the hands
and wrists. If you find yourself working or playing on a computer quite regularly, take a few steps to prevent
these problems. When you are computing for a long time, take frequent breaks. Get up and walk around every
once and while. Exercise a little bit. Take your eyes off of the computer screen. Stretch your hands and wrists.
Straighten your back. It can be hard to pull yourself away from your computer once you get into a zone, but your
body will thank you later if you do. Make your health a priority.
5. One of the most popular, sought-after, and expensive shoes ever marketed are the Air Jordan shoes. The first
Air Jordan shoes were released in 1985. These shoes were not legal to wear on the court since they did not have
any white on them, but Jordan wore them to every game anyway, getting fined $5000 for each appearance. The
next Air Jordan shoes came out in 1986. These shoes were unique for basketball shoes, because they were made
in Italy, which gave them a luxury feel. Two years later, the third Air Jordan shoes were released. These were the
first shoes with the visible air pocket in the back and were the inspiration for many later shoe designs. The Air
Jordan shoe line has had a long history of successful and noteworthy releases.
6. Imagine a child as young as ten years old on the website Facebook chatting with a grown man or grown
woman. Should parents let their children as young as ten years old be on Facebook? Parents should not let their
children or child be on Facebook because on Facebook there are a lot of things that are said and done that a child
of that age should not be able to see. If a parent approves of a child being on Facebook it is very inappropriate.
Because that child may tell a story about their age and someone much older may see it and think their telling the
truth and start sending them messages and the child might not like it at all. When a child that young is on a
website like Facebook they might get excited and go overboard. For example, the child might tell where they live,
their address, and a lot more information that is not needed. In conclusion, parents should not let children under
age get on Facebook because many different things can happen.
7. There are four main levels of the Boy Scouts of America. Boys who are in first grade or are seven years old
can enter the Tiger Cubs. Each Tiger Cub has an adult partner. Uniforms are optional for Tiger Cubs. Scouts and
adults may wear orange Tiger T-shirts and hats. Boys who are in second grade or are at least eight years old can
join the Cub Scouts. The Cub Scouts wear blue uniforms with blue and gold scarves. Boys who are 11 to 17 years
old can join the Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts wear khaki uniforms that include caps, scarves, shirts, and pants. Boys
and girls who are 14 to 20 years old can join the Venturing program. This program helps young people develop
leadership skills. Members of the Venturing program wear green uniforms.
