I went there with my family for two days, just after New Years. The drive took about an hour, and it was very interesting esting because most of it was countryside. When we arrived at our holiday house, the first thing we all did were to get changed into our costumes and go for a swim down at the beach. The beach was only across the holiday house. The sun was very bright, an and the water freezing cold, but it was very refreshing. We swam for a little while, and then we returned home to get some food. That night, after dinner, we all sat around and played scrabble, until very late. The next morning, my mother and I walked down to the souvenir stalls, where we shopped for about two hours. When we got home, my father had packed some tasty food, ready for the whole family to go to the beach for the afternoon. I had fried chicken and vegetables. It was extremely delicious. After eating, eating, we played beach volleyball and we had loads of fun. I will always remember this holiday because it was the first time in years that the whole family was able to holiday together, and the weather was fantastic the whole time!

Comets are another type of object in the solar system. Comets are like dirty snowballs. They are made of ice and dust. Comets are usually far out in the solar system. Sometimes a comet comes in close to the Sun. When it comes in close, the comet starts to melt and looks like it has a long tail streaming out behind it. In 1994 pieces of a comet called ShoemakerLevy 9 crashed into Jupiter. The crash made huge explosions and sent up fireballs that were larger than Earth.

The text is for questions number 41 to 43. Earthquakes are movements in Earths crust. The crust is Earths rocky outer layer, the solid ground that we live on. Earths crust is broken up into many gigantic sections of rigid rock called plates. The plates slide around slowly on a layer of hot, melted rock deep inside Earth. Sometimes the plates crash together. Sometimes the edge of one plate slides under another plate. Faults are cracks in Earths crust between the huge plates. Earthquakes usually happen along faults. The plates on each side of a fault press against each other with tremendous force. An earthquake occurs when the rock along the edge suddenly gives way. Huge chunks of rock underground break and move. They can jolt upward or they can dive down. Sometimes the blocks of rock along a fault grind sideways past each other. The place where the rock breaks is called the focus of the earthquake. It is usually underground. The breaking and moving makes waves travel through the ground. The place on the ground directly above the focus is called the epicenter. Earthquakes are strongest near their epicenters.
