In this conversation tells about the information between 2 passages, that are Adrienne and Todd. They talked about what breakfast they ate in the morning. In accidental, they brought their culture in conversation, such as what kind of breakfast they ate and they did in the morning. At the first, Todd asked to Adrienne about her breakfast, and adrienne answered that she drank some grapefruit juice. Todd felt that is not healthy breakfast and wanted to tell her mother about it. Everyday Todd always has breakfast in the morning. And Adrienne normally has breakfast with yogurt and fruit, and she likes plain yogurt because the original sweet from yogurt mixed in the fruit and add some honey or molasses makes the taste so chemical for her. Adrienne rarely cooks breakfast, but her favorite breakfast to cook is spinach and cheese omelet, sometimes with turkey bacon and hash-browns. Turkey bacon doesn't mean the taste like Turkish but the meat from Turkey, the bacon is crunchier and crisper. She thinks that many people don't like it because it is kind of an acquired taste.

Those all above is one of their culture in the morning. Every countries have their own culture, and many things that we will know the other one with surfing in internet and do conversation with somebody else in other country, such as this website. The website gives us a lot of information in there and trains our skill with extensive reading. And also every last session they give us the question related the text, it's all to ensure that you understand the main context of it.

Two Hard Working Ants

Reviewing back...

Ants teach you many things that use in our life. As small as ants are, they can still work and do their jobs well. Everyone knows that the Ants is a very strong animal, but I'm sure some of you don't know of the Ants teach you something important about time. Here I will tell you a story about it.

One day, in sunny day and beautiful day there were two ants which was working together for collecting food. There were also some insects and asking about them, and they said

"Hey both of you? What are you doing?"

"Why are you working in this beautiful day?"

"Yes, this is a good time for our to play until night comes."

Two hard working ants were just smiling at them and told them "This is the best and right time to work."

"Then, why do you work?" One of the insects asked.

"We are working because one day there will rain again and we aren't able to work and collect the food. What will you do when it rains again? How and where will you all get food to eat? What and where will you do and live?" The ants told.

"Come on, this is good and right time to play. You have worked so hard, and you need to take a rest and play with us." All the insects tell. Then the insects left them and played all the day.

At the tomorrow morning, the rain came very hard until night time. All the other insects didn't know what they must to do because they didn't have food to eat.The two hardworking ants knew that these all would happen, so they are came out from their nest to help the insects. The ants called them and asked to eat with them as they have quite a lot of food.

From the story, the ants teach us how important to set everything for what will happen in the next days so that you just sit and know very well that you will be good for sure. Remember you and anyone do not know when this will be, and the best thing you can do is to get yourself set for everything with all your might and all your fight as well.
