The North Wind and the Sun had a quarrel about which of them was the stronger. While they were disputing with much heat and bluster, a Traveler passed along the road wrapped in a cloak.

"Let us agree," said the Sun, "that he is the stronger who can strip that Traveler of his cloak."

"Very well," growled the North Wind, and at once sent a cold, howling blast against the Traveler.

With the first gust of wind the ends of the cloak whipped about the Traveler's body. But he immediately wrapped it closely around him, and the harder the Wind blew, the tighter he held it to him. The North Wind tore angrily at the cloak, but all his efforts were in vain.
Then the Sun began to shine. At first his beams were gentle, and in the pleasant warmth after the bitter cold of the North Wind, the Traveler unfastened his cloak and let it hang loosely from his shoulders. The Sun's rays grew warmer and warmer. The man took off his cap and mopped his brow. At last he became so heated that he pulled off his cloak, and, to escape the blazing sunshine, threw himself down in the welcome shade of a tree by the roadside.

Gentleness and kind persuasion win where force and bluster fail.

In London, people have big street parties on New year's Eve, especially near Big Ben, the London Eye and Trafalgar Square.
When Big Ben strikes midnight, fireworks are set off and illuminate the London sky. People cheer and kiss.

Have you ever watched this video before? A little kid is shooting unbelievable basket shots. Those were really amazing shots.

One of the most exciting hobbies nowadays is model rocketry. Estes is the largest producer of model rocket kits and engines.

Rocket engines are composed of a single large grain of propellant. This grain is surrounded by a fairly heavy cardboard tubing.

One gets the propellant by slitting the tube lengthwise, and unwrapping it like a paper towel roll. When this is done, the grey fire clay at either end of the propellant grain must be removed.

This is usually done gently with a plastic or brass knife. The material is exceptionally hard, and must be crushed to be used.

By gripping the grain on the widest setting on a set of pliers, and putting the grain and powder in a plastic bag, the powder will not break apart and shatter all over.

This should be done to all the large chunks of powder, and then it should be crushed like black powder. Rocket engines come in various sizes, ranging from 1/4 A - 2T to the incredibly powerful D engines.

The larger the engine, the more expensive. D engines come in packages of three, and cost about $5.00 per package. Rocket engines are perhaps the single most useful item sold in stores to a terrorist, since they can be used as is, or can be cannibalized for their explosive powder.

I need to be fluent in english

I'm trying to write in English to practice English expression. If you have any suggestions for better expressions, please provide them. (=If you have any suggestions for better ways to say these things, please let me know. ) Thanks for reading! (November 16,2013) <Small back yards behind of school building> There are some benches and trees behind the school classroom, but there aren't many people who are concerned about it. So it looks like a neglected place from everyone. It seems that it is used as a passageway to home for children. Me too, I stumble upon this place yesterday afternoon. This place is behind of a school building, but I feel this place is a cozy place for the autumn feeling.
