The polar bear is a very big white bear. We call it the polar bear because it lives
inside the Arctic Circle near the North Pole. There are no polar bears at the South Pole.

The polar bears live at the North pole. There is only snow, ice, and water. There is
not any land.

These bears are three meters long, and weight 450 kilos. They can stand up on their
back legs because they have very wide feed. They can use their front legs like arms. The Polar
bears can swim very well. They can swim 120 kilometres out into the water. They catch fish and
sea animals for food. They go into the sea when they are afraid.

People like to kill the polar bears for their beautiful white coats. The governments of
Canada, the united states and Russia say that no one can kill polar bears now. They do not want
all of these beautiful animals to die.

Facsimile, often called fax, is a way of transmitting texts and pictures over telephone lines.
News services often use facsimile to send news, stories and photographs to newspaper and
television stations. Banks, law firms and other businesses use facsimile to send copies of
documents to clients and other organizations.

A device called a facsimile machine is used for transmitting and receiving images.
Facsimile machines resemble small photocopiers. However, they are equipped with a telephone
or are connected to one. To send a document, the user inserts it into the machine and dials the
telephone number of the receiving fax machine. After the connection is made, an electronic
scanner on the transmitting machine moves across the page and converts the image into a set of
electric signals. These signals travel over the telephone line to the receiving fax machine. Then
machine converts the electric signals back into an image of the original document and then prints
a copy.

Some business people use small desktop fax machines or portable models at home or when they
travel. A personal computer can also be used to send and receive documents if it is equipped with
a special electronic circuit board called a fax board

Since its release, Saving Private Ryan has been considered one of the greatest and most
influential films of the 1990s, and also one of the greatest war films of all time. It has been
frequently cited as influential in the war and action film genres, primarily due to its use of
desaturated colors, hand-held cameras, and tight angles.

It has been credited for renewing interest in World War II media, particularly World War II-
themed first-person shooter games that became popular in the 2000s. In 2007, the American Film
Institute ranked Saving Private Ryan as the 71st-greatest American movie in AFI’s 100 Years…
100 Movies (10th Anniversary Edition) and in 2014, the film was selected for preservation in the
United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as “culturally, historically, or
aesthetically significant”.

Dear Tamara,

Hi there. How are things with you? It’s good to know that you are doing fine in business.

Have you received my postcard?

I am now sitting in my hotel room writing a letter to you about my wonderful holiday. I think
this is the most wonderful holiday have I ever had. There are a lot of interesting tourist objects to
visit, beautiful local art and craft, tasty traditional food, and much more. It’s Thursday today. I
can’t believe this my last day. I wish I could spend more time here. I am certain I will stay longer
on my next visit.

I’ll be home about 3 p.m. tomorrow if the flight is on time. On Monday I must go back to work. I
can’t wait to show my video to my class.

Okay, that’s all for now. Send my love to your children.

Best wishes from,

Linda
