He also said that we should write an article for the school magazine about it. There were five of us in my group, and it wasn't easy to decide which muscum we wanted to go to. Mr. Brecn encouraged us to make one idea each. We were surprised how easy it was. We had five ideas, but everybody was very impressed with Tom's idea.

D ①On April Fool's Day in many English-speaking countries, people play jokes on others Newspapermen are usually serious, but sometimes they play jokes, too.

It said their cameraman had seen this happen while filming at the South Pole. He said that. luckily, he had filmed the event, and they showed some videos of penguins taking off and flying through the air.

The story explained that the runner had misunderstood the rules of the race. Instead of running for 26 miles, he believed he needed to run fot 26 davs. The paper said that he was lost somewhere in the middle of the British countryside ④And there's certainly nothing new about these types of stories.

It didn't explain how the machine worked. just that it would make any kind of food using air, water and earth.
