People have always wondered how the world it will end. One of the theories says that, in a few
billion years, the sun will burn itself out. But before that, its supply of hydrogen fuel will be exhausted,
turning it into a gigantic red star capable of sending out 100 times more energy than it does. This
phenomenon will make all the planets around the sun very hot. Planet Earth will heat up as well, oceans will
start boiling, and life on earth will come to an end. After everything has ended, the cooling sun will be
nothing more than just a small, weak star.

The psychologist came to the conclusion that Sally is watching too much television. Sally is four
years old and she spends too much time in front of the TV after she comes from the kindergarden. The TV
set should not be the main interest point of a child, not to mention the fact that Sally is spending hours
staring at it. Moreover, some of her wild actions have been inspired by the cartoons she watches. Many of
them are very violent. What the parents need to do is to spend more time with her, reading books and to
unplug the TV set.
