Have you ever          
Many people wonder why you would do this, when you can just buy it in the
supermarket. But when you make it yourself, it’s so much tastier and healthier, too.
You can also make many fun shapes before you put it in the oven.
2 Have you ever                                               
Maybe the idea of putting one in your mouth doesn’t get you excited, however, people in many
countries think they are one of the best snacks! They are full of vitamins and other things that are
healthy for you.
3 Have you ever                                  
In the old days, people who lived in rocky, mountainous areas never got the chance of getting near
it. They would often hear about it or maybe they would see a photo of it, but most spent their lives
without putting a single toe in it. Today, it’s a must to learn how to float. You can go snorkelling, too!
4 Have you ever                                 
You can keep them in the house or outside. They make a place look more beautiful and they also clean
the air. All you need to do is water them, but be careful. You mustn’t water them too much or too little!
Keep your pet away from them, as well as snails. They will eat all the leaves!
5 Have you ever                                  
There are many different types that you can enter, for example, there are ones for writing, sport, saying
a poem and taking the best photos. The winners often get a prize and it’s important to always try
your best!
6 Have you ever                                  
Standing on a stage in front of a group of people and doing your part is something everyone should
try. It helps with communication skills and builds self-confidence. Even if you don’t become a ­celebrity,
we think that you’ll learn a lot by having a go.
