Im all for stem cell research. I know it is a huge issue at the moment. Lots of people dont like it. They say it is unethical and that it is playing God. Other people say we will create Frankensteins monster. Britain seems to be leading the world in...
There are lies, damned lies, and statistics. I like this saying. It means statistics lie even more than the biggest lies. Its true. Statistics can be used to dress up any numbers. Politicians always use statistics to let us know things are better tha...
Standard of living is something very important to all of us. We all want a better standard of living. We all do our best for most of our lives to improve it. Im quite happy with my standard of living. Im not rich, I dont have expensive furniture (in...
Spring is a time for doing things. It seems everyone is full of energy. The days become warmer so everyone spends more time outside. Winter is finishing, so the countryside becomes greener. I love watching the new flowers in my garden in spring. I wa...
Are you good at sport? Im not, but I love watching and playing all kinds of sport. My favourite sport is football the kind with the round ball, not American football. I wasnt very good at football when I was a kid. This did not stop me playing. I pla...
Spiders are scary. I dont care what people say, they are scary creatures. Some people say they like spiders. I think theyre mad. They only like them because theyre so small. If they were the size of large dogs, people wouldnt like them so much. Can y...
I'm terrible at spelling. It's so confusing. I really wish someone would change every word in English to make the spelling logical. I don't know how English people can spell. My teacher says many English people can't spell. English spelling is diffic...

Souvenirs are funny things. Most of us feel we need to buy a souvenir when we go to another country. Then when we get home we put it on top of the television. When visitors come, we tell them about it and where we got it. A lot of the souvenirs we bu...
Sound is something few of us rarely think about. Its always around us in one form or another. I even think theres sound if everything is completely silent. There is actually a famous song called the Sound of Silence. When I was a child, my parents or...
Soldiers have an unbelievably difficult job. Sometimes I dont understand why people become a soldier. You can die. The life of a soldier is very tough. You have to train very hard every day and carry really heavy things. You have to march over mounta...
The Solar System is an amazing thing. I cant imagine just how big it is. I dont think anyone can. It all centres around our Sun. Our solar system has eight planets in it. When I was a kid I learnt there were nine planets, but some time ago, scientist...
Solar energy is the key to our future. If we do not use it, our planet will not survive. We do not have enough resources on Earth to supply our energy needs. We are slowly using solar energy more. Most places you go in the world today you can see sol...
When I was a kid, I had never heard of software. If someone showed me this word, I would have no idea what it meant. Today, of course, its probably one of our most commonly used words. We cant live nowadays without software. We need an operating syst...
