Sloths, lazy or underrated
Sloths are slow mammals that life up in trees for majority of their lifetimes. They are animals that choose to live alone and spend 20 hours of the day asleep. The remaining time is spent reaching for leaves or consuming tree sap, because they hardly move they do not use a lot of energy. They are known to be so still that plants and moss have been seen to grow from their fur.
Sloths live in jungles that have many wild animals, mainly predators such as large cats or Eagles but sloths have a unique survival technique. They move at such a slow speed that these predators are unable to notice them. Eagles and large cats usually attach animals that move very fast or are able to runaway. Sloths remain safe from these animals because they are so still they often resemble plants attached to trees.
Sloths have long limbs that they use to cling to branches. They also have large claws that help them climb trees and can also be used as a defense if they are ever attacked by predators but they are usually left alone and never have to use these claws.
Interesting facts about words and languages
More English words begin with S than any other letter. The tongue twister 'Sally sea shells at the see shore' seems like the best way to start learning all these English words beginning with S.
Another interesting fact is that the longest word in the English word without a true vowel such as A,E,I,O,U is rhythm.

The deepest part of the ocean is called the Challenger Deep which is located in the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. The water pressure in this part of the ocean is so high that humans can not safely explore it. For many years people believed that the water pressure was too high for any aquatic life to exist. But in recent years scientist have developed technology to explore the Challenger Deep for short periods of time and have found that some ocean life does exist in the deep. There have been many species of animals found in the Challenger deep, these include species of sharks, octopi and sea cucumber. These animals have spent years evolving to survive in the harsh conditions.
Most of the deepest areas of the ocean are completely dark as sunlight can not penetrate that deep. As a result creatures create light through the chemical process of Bioluminescence.
Interesting facts about space travel.
Space travel and exploration have been made popular by tv and movies. Many people have taken careers in space exploration and are either researching ways to travel through space or some have actually gone to space multiple times. The first man to travel to space was a Russian man named Yuri Gagarin. This created a long lasting fascination with space exploration and traveling to the ends ends of our galaxy. The Soviet Union was the first country to create a space base.
Space is not safe for human travel, in fact there have been a recorded 30 deaths caused by space exploration. Humans are very fragile beings and space is an inhospitable environment. There is no oxygen and it is incredibly cold.

こども英会話は「身につけさせたいことが何か」で選びましょう
「子どもの英会話だから、英語に親しめればいいか」と、教室を距離や月謝で選ばれる方も多いと思いますが、大切なお子様の習い事だからこそ、内容にこだわって選んであげてほしいと、私たちは考えます。英語は今後、小学校、中学校、高校、大学、就職、仕事、と一生付き合っていく、日本語と同じ「言語」です。言語は「使えるようになること」にこだわってあげた方が、習わせ甲斐があるのではないでしょうか。
お子様に、今まで英語を習わせていた、という方や、現在英会話スクールに通わせている、という保護者の方は、今お子様の英語の「聞く」「話す」「読む」「書く」のスキルで、何がどの程度定着しているか、何が課題か、一度考えてみてください。その上で、足りないスキルについて、アミティーにご相談ください。アミティーには伸ばしたいスキル別のコース・教材をご用意しています。
まずは、入会の有無に関わらず、お気軽にお子様の英語の学習状況について、ぜひご相談ください。

Interesting facts about planet Earth
The Earth is about 4.54 billion years old at present. The largest living structure on Earth is coral reefs in the ocean and these reefs provide home and food to hundreds of different species of ocean life. They are one of the most protected parts of nature and also one of the most endangered. Coral reefs can be natural but also can be man made, in many parts of the world people have intentionally sunk ships to provide a structure for coral reefs to grow on to. This project has been successful and has provided habitats for ocean life.
English Facts that you might not know
Although English is the most common language, there are still interesting things about it that is fun to learn about. First, did you know that the shortest, ancient and yet the most commonly used word is "I"? I am sure that we use this word almost every day in speaking and writing. A million songs must have the word I too! Let's try it, complete the sentence "I like..."
