Dear Riana,

Hi! How are you? We have not met each other for a long time. I really miss you.

Though I look forward to the festival season, I feel a tinge of sadness. Because you are not with me. Our childhood was the warmest. Remember how we first met at the canteen and then got to know each other? As buddies, we counted on each other for everything. We shared lunches, clothes, joy, and even grief. And remember how we studied in the fast food restaurant, spotting questions and sharing answers?

Of course, we had our share of quarrels. Why did we let matters like boyfriends come between us? Remember how we both felt head over heels in love with OSIS perfect? However, we soon made up when we realized that neither of us meant anything to our high and mighty hero.

Well, that’s all nice experience that I will never forget forever.

Cheers,

Dear Winda,

After we bought ourselves some hot chips at the take away store nearby, we rode our bikes down the beach for a while, on the hard, damp part of the sand. We had the wind behind us and before we know it, we were many miles down the beach.

Before we mae the long trip back we decided to paddle our feet in the water for a while, and then sit down for a rest. While we were sitting on the beach, just chatting, it suddenly dawned on us both that all the way back we would be riding into the strong wind.

Winnats the village is centred around a square in which the church lies – this is just off the main road and directly beneath Peveril Castle on the hill behind.

Human body is made up of countless millions of cells.  Food is needed to build up new cells and replace the worn out cell.  However, the food that we take must be changed into substances that can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed.  This process is called digestion.

The first digestive process takes places in the mouth.  The food we eat is broken up into small pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth.  Saliva contains digestive juices which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.

From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach.  Here, the food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours.  Then the food enters the small intestine.  All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and moving the food onwards.

In a few hours, the food changes into acids.  These are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic branch projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.
