A
Milk-maid had been in the meadow to milk her….. (cattle)(1.). Now she was
returning home with a pail of milk on her head.
She
thought, “I will make cream and butter out of this milk. Then after selling
them, I will buy eggs. And when they hatch, I shall have a good poultry farm”.
She
further thought, "I shall sell some of my chickens and buy a fine dress.
Putting it on my ……. (figure)(2.) at the party, all the boys will admire me.
But I will turn them away”.
She
went on day dreaming; she (3.)(disremembered)……. about the pail on her head. She moved her
head suddenly and the pail of milk came tumbling down. It was broken and all
the milk split. “Dear, O dear!” she cried, “I have lost mine all”

There are
a lot of discussions as to whether children should be given homework or not.
Some
people claim that children do enough work in school already. They also argue
that children have hobbies that they want to do after school, such as sports or
music. A further point they make is that a lot of homework is pointless and
doesn’t help the child learn at all.
However,
there are also strong arguments against this point of view. Parents and
teachers argue that it is important to find out whether children can work on
their own without the support from the teacher. They say that the evening is a
good time for children to sit down and think about what they have learned in
school.
Furthermore,
they claim that the school day is too short to get anything done that needs
doing, and it makes sense to send home tasks like independent reading or further
writing tasks that don’t need teacher’s support.
On
balance, I think that some homework is a good idea, but it should be only given
on the weekend when children have more time.

Vegetables
are one of the best known sources of vitamins, nutrients and fibers. This makes
them an essential part of a healthy diet. While fresh vegetables are known to
contain the highest degree of nutrients, canned vegetables are also quite
popular. Here are some of the pros and cons of canned vegetables.
One
of the biggest advantages of canned vegetables is its longevity. Canned
vegetables contain various preservatives. This helps in increasing their shelf
life. Due to this, people can store them for a longer period of time. Canned
vegetables can usually last for a few weeks, which are a huge advantage,
especially if people are on a trip and need vegetables.
Besides,
fresh vegetables can be a little expensive in some places. However, this is not
the case with canned vegetables. Prices of canned vegetables are relatively
lower than fresh vegetables. Canned vegetables do not have to be transported as
fast as fresh vegetables. This makes them an ideal source of vitamins and
nutrients for people who cannot afford high priced fresh vegetables. The fact
that they can be used for a longer period of time makes canned vegetables a
worthy buy.
On
the contrary, canned vegetables have disadvantages. They are unsuitable for
diets.
Preservatives may increase the shelf life of canned vegetables, so they are not
advisable for everyone. Most canned vegetables have a high content of sodium.
This makes canned vegetables
inappropriate for people who are on non-salt or low salt diets. This applies
especially to people suffering from diabetes or low and high blood pressure.
Canned vegetables can also include other preservatives which are not suitable
for some people.
Regardless of this, canned vegetables are a
part of the diet of a large number of people. Use less salt, and don’t cook
canned vegetables for a long time, in order to retain their taste and
nutritional value.
