Too Much TV?


1. Too much can be a bad thing. 2. Sitting and watching television creates a lazy life style. 3. It also keeps kids from
learning. 4. Most children who spend a large amount of time watching TV spend very little time doing school work and reading.
5. The University of Michigan wrote an article about television and children and they reported children, ranging from the ages 611, watch TV for about 28 hours a week. 6. Watching TV is great way to entertain kids and keep them occupied, but this doesn't
mean that children should spend all their time in front of the TV. 7. Kids need to get their head out from in front of the television
and read a good book.

Alan and Rita are both writing reports on bicycle safety.


Which one has provided support for his or her claims in their report? Circle one.
A: Alans Report:
Bike riding can lead to accidents. Every year, about 300,000 kids go to
the emergency department because of bike injuries. Also, at least 10,000
kids have injuries that require a few days in the hospital. Many of these
injuries could likely have been prevented with proper safety equipment.
Head injuries are common. That's why it's so important to wear your
bike helmet. A helmet will provide some protection for your face, head, and
brain in case you fall down. Bike helmets are so important that the U.S.
government has created safety standards for them.
B: Ritas Report:
Bike riding can lead to accidents. Helmets are important for safety, and
you can put stickers on them to make them look cool. Some are even
reflective. Reflective stickers glow in the dark.
Head injuries are common. So you have to wear your helmet. Make
sure you dont tilt your helmet back; wear it straight. Bike helmets are also
now available in all kinds of colors and shapes.

Juan and Elena also did reports on bicycle safety.


Which one has provided support for his or her claims in their report? Circle one.
A: Juans Report:
Keeping your bike in good condition can keep you safe. Make sure its
painted and not rusted. New tires will give you a smoother ride. Put some
good reflectors on it too.
What you wear can make a difference to your safety. A backpack is okay
for carrying things but keep it bright and light. You can get special bike
shoes that are good for your feet. Be careful to avoid the bike chain when
getting on or off the bike. Its better to put your music player in your pocket
than on your head.
B: Elenas Report:
Keeping your bike in good condition can keep you safe. You need to
make sure your seat and handlebars fit tightly. Your brakes need to work
without sticking. Your tires need to have enough air in them.
What you wear can make a difference to your safety. Wear bright
clothes so drivers can see you. Also, be sure to wear shoes that will help
you grip the pedals, and avoid loose pant legs or shoelaces that could get
caught in the chain. Its also not a good idea to wear headphones because
you cant hear cars coming by you.

Periodic Review 3
Paparazzi

1. Celebrity photographers have gone too far! 2. Everyone should have the right to
privacy, yet photographers follow famous people everywhere they go. 3. The creepiest of
these photographers follow celebrities in to bathrooms or climb trees to get shots of
celebrities in their homes. 4.This invasion forces the rich and famous to become rude
and mean to fans. 5. Even worse, sometimes the paparazzi's behavior is dangerous and
irresponsible. 6. Celebrities are sometimes forced to drive 90 miles an hour in an attempt
to outrun relentless photographers.7. People may crave pictures of the stars, but most
readers certainly would not want them at the expense of a celebrity's safety.
8. Newspapers and magazines should cease paying for these kinds of photos, and
photographers who put celebrities in harm's way should be arrested for stalking.
