Read the following passage carefully:

The Story of our Teeth

Teeth are not organs like our heart or brain. They are not there and ready to work as soon as we are born. Although as babies, the early stage of our first teeth are present, they are not visible until we reach about six or seven months old. Once the teeth begin to appear, most children get all of them by the time they are three years old. These are called primary teeth, and there are twenty of them in all. These teeth are also known as baby teeth. As we get older, one by one, these teeth begin to loosen and eventually fall out. The first primary tooth usually falls out when a child is about five or six years old.

Primary teeth fall out because they are pushed out by the secondary teeth which are beneath them in the gums. Secondary teeth are also called permanent teeth. Slowly, the permanent teeth grow and push the baby teeth out, and by age fourteen most children have all of their permanent teeth. There are twenty-eight in a permanent set. By age twenty, four more permanent teeth will have grown in at the back of the mouth. These last four are called wisdom teeth. They do not make us smarter, though. In fact, they sometimes cause problems and have to be extracted by a dentist.

2. If the adjective ends in -y, change -y to i before adding –ly.

For example

lazy

Form adverbs from these adjectives. Remember your spelling rules.

Complete each sentence by using an adverb formed from the underlined word.

These are two separate sentences. We can join them by using the conjunction but.

I like flying fish but I do not like cou cou.

Eg.2

It started to rain. I went home. We can also join these two sentences.

It started to rain so I went home. The word ‘so’ is a conjunction.

Eg. 3 Tremaine went home early. Tremaine was ill.

Tremaine went home early because he was ill.

The word because is the conjunction used to join the two sentences. (The name Tremaine was not repeated. The pronoun he was used instead.)

Page 45 is the last page of the book. Which chapter is the longest? _____________________________________________________________________________________ FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE To make their writing more colourful, descriptive and more interesting, authors use figurative language. In figurative language we use words which cannot be taken literally, that is, the words do not really mean what they say but they make the work more vivid and exciting. This type of writing is called FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE. Two well-known types of figurative language are SIMILES and METAPHORS.

A simile is a comparison between two things. This comparison is made by using the words like or as.

Example: When Terrell won the Victor Ludorum title, he felt as proud as a peacock.

(Terrell’s feelings are being compared to a proud peacock.)

A metaphor is also a comparison of two things. However, the words like and as are not used. In a metaphor one thing is

said to be another. Example: The sea is a roaring lion.

(The noise made by the sea is being compared to that made by the lion.)

Personification. Personification projects human qualities onto inanimate objects, or perhaps animals or natural elements. “The wind howled,” “The words leapt off the page,” and “Time marches on” are all examples of personification Write in brackets whether the figure of the speech is a metaphor, a simile or a personification.

1. In all situations my mother remains as solid as a rock.

DOUBLE NEGATIVES AND REDUNDANCIES

Double negatives are two negative words used in the same sentence. A double negative is usually produced by combining the negative form of a verb (for example: cannot, did not, have not) with a negative pronoun (example: nothing, nobody), a negative adverb (example: never, hardly) or a negative conjunction (example: neither/nor).

A double negative is usually an error because it portrays a positive sense when a negative one is intended. In reality, readers nearly always understand the intended meaning, For example:

He did not do nothing for the day.

This suggests that he did something.

In expressing a negative thought, use only one negative to express this thought.

Underline the one which is NOT a double negative: A. I haven’t got no money.

B. No, I don’t have any money.

A. She couldn’t raise no funds.

B. Tell me not to do it, if you like.

A. I’m not looking for sympathy from you.

B. I’m not looking for no sympathy from you.

A.

He mentioned neither the flooding nor the landslide.

B.

He did not mention either the flooding or the landslide.

Redundancies A redundancy is the using words unnecessarily or using words for a second time.

For example:

If all of us cooperate together, we will succeed.

In this sentence, the words cooperate and together have been used. But both these words convey the same meaning.

One of the two words should be dropped in order to make the sentence a correct one.

• If all of us cooperate, we will succeed.

• If all of us work together, we will succeed.

The flight will arrive at 7 p.m. in the evening. (redundant)

The flight will arrive at 7 p.m.

Avoid unnecessary appendages to words and expression: divided up; just say divided

Some other redundancies are- lose out; rise up; dress up; descend down; ascended up; reverse back Descend means movement downwards. Therefore descend down would mean to go down down Reverse indicate movement backwards. Ascend indicates movement upwards etc Correct the following sentences.

1. Whenever I need help there is never nobody is around. __________________________________________________________________________ 2. Gail didn’t say nothing to me about going. __________________________________________________________________________ 3. Mother will dress up Lorna for the fair.

TIME: CLOCK FACE AND ANGLES

If you trace the direction taken by the clock

hands starting at 12 and returning to 12,

you would have made a circle or a

complete revolution around the clock face.

The clock hands make a circle whenever they move from one point and return to the same point on a clock face. Let us see how we can relate time to angles. The angle at the mid point of a circle is 360Ëš. When a clock hand makes a complete circle (revolution) it therefore travels 360Ëš.

Spring is in swing!

by Nick Nunes

It’s possibly the best time of year for Barbados. Why? Well—the sun is out but it isn’t too hot, the sea is cool, clear, and inviting, and everything is green and beautiful once again. Easter is an awesome time of year for getting together, going outdoors, and enjoying the beauty all around us.

Always important to remember that when you’re diving into your arts and crafts, in pursuit of making something beautiful and memorable for this Easter season, that we should all do our part to keep the environment in pristine condition.
