Understanding the Menu

When you go to a restaurant in the U.S., you'll usually get a menu that's divided into sections:

Appetizers – small dishes served before the main course.

Entrées – are your main dishes.

Sides – small portions of your meal, like fries or salad.

Desserts – sweet treats to end your meal!

Since Halloween is coming, let's talk about something spooky—ghosts and ghosting. I don't believe in real ghosts, but they are fun to see in stories, movies, and on Halloween! A ghost is the spirit of a person who has died, and people imagine they appear and disappear mysteriously.

Agenda

I think it's the most crucial element for a student. An agenda contains the days of the year and the holidays. So, the student can write down the dates of exams, activities, etc. In this way, in theory, everything is under control. I say this in theory because many times kids forget to write things down, and it's chaos.
