I have a new member in my family. It is a cat. I call it Ginger.

Ginger has soft white fur and likes to click its paws. It is also very curious and likes to explore its new surroundings. It seems to like milk and fish a lot, and waits eagerly as I prepare its meal.

Besides, the cat that my father took from the road is very important for me. It gives me some lessons about “cat talk”. When it is near me it always purrs. This expresses its friendship with me. When I do my homework it often bumps its head with mine. I know this is the way to say hello. When it is curious it sticks its whiskers straight out and twitches with excitement. Sometimes it approaches something carefully with ears pricked forward. This shows its alert. When it stalks a bird under the banyan tree beside my house it waves its tail. This shows that it is trying to make up its mind whether to creed or pounce. As soon as it has made up its mind the waving usually stops.

Of course I sometimes get angry with Ginger. When it feels threatened it hisses and spits. It thrashes its tail and shows its fangs. Its ears lie flat and its eyes dilate.

Ginger seems to like me a lot. I know this because it always follows me wherever I go. I thank God for giving me such nice cat.

Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful events to occur in our world, the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, has both astounded and amazed people since it was first discovered.

This phenomenon occurs when the sun gives off high-energy charged particles (also called ions) that travel out into space at speeds of 300 to 1200 kilo meters per second. A cloud of such particles is called a plasma. The stream of plasma coming from the sun is known as the solar wind. As the solar wind interacts with the edge of the earth’s magnetic field, some of the particles are trapped by it and they follow the lines of magnetic force down into the ionosphere, the section of the earth’s atmosphere that extends from about 60 to 600 kilometers above the earth’s surface.
