the platypus

The platypus is a mammal. It is one of the world's strangest animal. It has a bill which looks like the bill of a duck. It has webbed feet which enables it to spend its life in the water. It has fur on its body.

The female platypus produces milk and nurses its young. The platypus does not give birth to its young alive but it lays eggs. It is the only mammal in the world besides the anteater that lays eggs.

Platypuses always live near rivers and lakes. They live in holes, in the banks of rivers and streams. During the day, they sleep in their burrows but at night, they come out to look for food. The bills of the platypus are tough and leathery.

They swim along the bottom of the rivers, nuzzling through the sand, mud and pebbles for worms, insects, crayfish and other small fresh water animals.

about sports

Peace be with you to the Lord Chairman of the Council, the blessed Lord Headmaster, teachers and dear friends. On this day let me deliver a lecture entitled, "The importance of sports."

Dear Ladies,
As we all know, sports activities are vital to the community. Since our school days were exposed to various sports activities. The Government is also willing to spend money just to encourage people regardless of race so active in sports.

Sports can actually create a vibrant and intelligent people. When we play sports, our body can move with the intensive. Such movement could strengthen joints and muscles of the body and can break the layer of fat in the body and can generate energy for mencedaskan mind. Therefore, we will be active and able to devote full attention to education. Our minds will be critical and creative thinking.

Dear friends,
Sports activities to create solidarity among the people. Usually the athletes of various races. Before a competition was held, the athletes and players will be grouped in a certain place in the training. They will undergo training together. With this, they will mingle and interact purely for the school, state or country.

Sports can also contain a variety of social problems. Adolescents is quite susceptible to a variety of unhealthy elements like loitering, gangsterisme, vandalism or drug addiction. This is because they have more leisure time but do not fill them with useful activities. If they are active in sports, they would not be lured into immoral activities.

Dear Ladies,
Before the end of this lecture, I want to stress once again that sports is very important in our daily lives. By engaging in sports activities, we can increase endurance towards a healthy lifestyle.

Thank you.
