Bees are insects. Bees are special insects because they can fly! They can move through the air like an aeroplane! Bees can fly because they have wings. They use their wings to fly. Bees can fly fastly.Bees can also fly slowly. They can fly up and they can fly down. They need to fly to get to the flowers. Bees can have three colours. They can be yellow, red and orange. All bees are black in some places. Bees have three main parts. They have a head. They have a body. And, they have a stinger. The stinger is used to defend against enemies. They also have six legs. They use their legs to climb and stand. They also use their legs to eat and collect pollen. Bees live in many places. They live in Africa, Australia, Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. The only continent that bees do not live on is Antarctica! I understand why they don’t live in Antarctica. It’s too cold! Most of the time, bees are nice to humans. If you do not bother them, they will not bother you. Have fun watching bees this summer.

A2. Read the following passage carefully.

What is soil? The original material from which it has been formed through long ages are the rocks of the earth’s crust. There are threekinds of rocks, made in three different ways. Igneous rocks were made when the molten material of which the earth consisted long ago became cooler and solidified; granite, a very hard rock, is one of these. Another kind of rock is sedimentary rock, formed when rivers brought down small pieces of material with them as they flowed into a sea. The matter which they brought down with them to the bottom of the sea, and this sediment was slowly pressed and cemented together by other substances into the rock. Then the crust of the earth moved; the bottom of the seas were raised, and when they reached a sufficient height became dry land. Sedimentary rocks are found in all kind of places, even on high mountains. Shale, limestone, and chalks are sedimentary rocks.

The third kind of rocks is metamorphic rock, a rock which has been made by change due to heat. This was formed, for instance, when the lava thrown out by volcanoes affected the material over which it flowed. The heat changed the surface underneath and produced different kinds of rocks, two of which are slate and marble.
