Almost everyone in the world uses oil in some way.Without oil,the world will stop,so men look for it everywhere.Oilmen drill for oil in deserts,in mountanins and under the sea.Quite often they find nothing,but search for oil always goes on .Oil is very important because none of our machines can run without it.Big ships carry oil everywhere.Perhaps the oil in your bicycle or in your father's car has come from somewhere far away.Perhaps it has come from Iraq or Venezuela .Cars and bicycles need oil,but so do many other things .How many things can you name?

A strange thing happened to Henry yesterday .He was on a bus and wanted to get off.So he stood up and rang the bell.To make sure the driver heard him,he rang it twice,but the bus didn't stop,and the conductor came and shouted at him.The conductor was so angry and spoke so fast that Henry didn't understand a word.The bus stopped at the next bus stop and Henry got off.As he got off he heard someone say:"I think he is a foreigner,for he doesn't know the rule here".
When he got home,he told his wife about his story on the bus."How many times did you ring the bell?"she asked."Twice."said Henry.
"Well,that tells the driver to go on." his wife explained ."Only the conductor is allowed to ring the bell twice."
Henry nodded."I see." he said.
