Making a Change
      Canada's Finance decides to save money by stopping making the pennies  because penny costs too much to make it. The cost  of making penny can be $11 million a year.However, some Canadians do not accept this idea.On the other hand, others think that stopping making penny can increase sales. U.S. lawmakers have failed to eliminate the penny.Yet they look for cheaper ways to make the coin.

      I was surprised when I read that making the penny can cost 1.5 cents. so, I think it is useful to stop produce the penny. Especially if this procedure can help the economy. 
   From this article , I learned different vocabulary like clutter, contradiction, and mourn.

The Enigma of Beauty
        The search for beauty spans centuries and countries. In our lives people spend  money and time in their appearance for many reasons, but the most important one is to be attractive so they can get more money and good relationships.Also, differences in perceptions of beauty appear to be mainly cultural.In brief,beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.


I think it is difficult to define beauty because every culture has its own thought about beauty.Also, I think the behavior is more important than the appearance. I this article I learned different cultures thoughts about beauty like wearing wigs and men may grow their hair long as a symbol of health.

  In this article i learned some vocabularies like enigma, predominantly, and subjective.
