I love an antique bicycle, because of that I decided to join an old bike community called
Onthel Lovers. Last year I bought one from my friend. It took a while to clean and fix it, but
now I can use it to go out with my Onthel community. It may not be as good as a new
bicycle, but I enjoy riding it. This is my favourite bicycle.
Most part of my Onthel bicycle is made of iron. It used to be rusty, but when I bought
it. I clean every part of it and painted it in green. There are two saddles available on this
bicycle. The first is for the rider, it is made of plastic, but I added some foam rubber on it and
covered it with leather. The second saddle is for the passenger, it is made of iron.It has two
wheels. The color of the tire is black. The handlebars and the broke lever is placed on each
edge of the stem. The stem is not adjustable because this is an old style bicycle. I place a bell
next to the right handlebar. There is also a lamp called as the headlight attached to the bike
framework and it is placed right above the front wheel. It is operated by using a dynamo
which relied on the movement of the wheel as its source of energy. I added a bottle hanger on
the framework so that I can carry a bottle of water whenever I ride my bicycle. I also replace
the old chain cover with a new one. It is made of plastic and its color is black.

that the syrup completely coats the bottom.
 Using a knife or food processor, chop up 4 of the Oreos until they're pretty fine. Set
these aside; they'll be the topping for your milkshake.

noticeable the longer you blend them. Don't blend it for long if you want to keep

A landslide is the movement of earth, down a sloped section of land. Landslides are
caused by rain, earthquakes, volcanoes, or other factors that make the slope unstable. In
populated areas, landslides present major hazards to people and property. Landslides cause an
estimated 25 to 50 deaths and $3.5 billion in damage each year in the United States.
Landslides have three major causes: geology, morphology, and human activity.
Geology refers to characteristics of the material itself. The earth or rock might be weak or
fractured, or different layers may have different strengths. Morphology refers to the structure
of the land. For example, slopes that lose their plants to fire or drought are more vulnerable to
landslides. Plants hold soil in place. Without the root systems of trees, bushes, and other
plants, the land is more likely to slide away. Agriculture and construction can also increase
the risk of a landslide. Irrigation, deforestation, excavation, and water leakage are some of the
common activities that can help destabilize or weaken a slope.

A. The factors causing landslide.
B. The movement of the earth surface.

Gorillas are one of the most feared animals in the world. The fact is although they are

 The mountain gorilla is one of two subspecies of gorilla. The other subspecies, the
lowland gorilla, is the species found in zoos. The names of the two subspecies reflect their

elevations, 10,000 feet or higher on the slopes of volcanoes. Mountain gorillas are herbivores,

Gorillas live in family troops led by the largest male, called the silverback because of the

Large males patiently allow young gorillas to climb all over them without protest, and they

I used to think that I could not go on

And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

If I can see it, then I can do it

If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

I believe I can fly

I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day (Night and day)
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge of breaking down

Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, ho oh
If I can see it how, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

HERO It's a long road 

By: Mariah Carey When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand 
There's a hero  For you to hold
If you look inside your heart 
You don't have to be afraid  You can find love 
Of what you are If you search within yourself 
And the emptiness you felt 
There's an answer  Will disappear
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know  Reff
Will melt away
Lord knows 
Reff: Dreams are hard to follow
And then a hero comes along  But don't let anyone 
With the strength to carry on  Tear them away
And you cast your fears aside 
And you know you can survive Just hold on 
There will be tomorrow 
So when you feel like hope is gone  And in time 
Look inside you and be strong  You'll find the way
And you'll finally see the truth 
That a hero lies in you Reff
