AT THE STATION

That is the road to the station. My house is in this street. It is not by the station. Those stores are between it and the station. My house is here. The station is there. This is the front of the station. The back of it is in another street.

I go to my office in a train. Trains to and from the station are frequent.

I am with a friend. He goes with me to the station. He is an office friend.

At the station I get tickets. That is the window of the ticket-office. I get the tickets from the man at the window. These are the tickets. I give a ticket to my friend and put the other in my pocket.

Those men there are the station porters. My friend puts his bag on his box and gets a porter. The porter takes the bag and the box.

A woman comes into the station with flowers in her hand and a bag and a cushion under her arm.2 In her other hand is a book. Its cover is white. Her box is by the ticket-office. Another porter goes with her and gets the box. It is a round box.

The train in the station is not my train. It is a slow train. My train is a quick train.

Here is my train. The back of the train is full. The front of the train is not full. The porter goes to the front and my friend and I go with him. The porter is quick and gets a seat by the window and another seat by its side. I give the seat by the window to my friend and I go to the other seat. The porter gives the bag to me and I put it across the seat between me and my friend. The shelf over the seats is full. The porter takes the box with other to the back of the train.

The woman with the flowers comes to the door. She takes the cushion from her porter and puts it on the seat.

A man with a flag in his hand comes to the front of the train and the trains goes.

Notes:

Read Carefully, this are some sentences of the text, and here is the explanation form them.

Trains to and from the station: trains coming to the station and trains going from it.

An office friend: That is, a friend among one's colleagues at one's office.

I put the other in my pocket: The other is a short way of saying the other ticket. There are quite a number of adjectives which may be used in this way (as pronouns) when the noun they qualify is understood. We shall note them as they come in. Other is the only one that forms a plural, like a noun, by the addition of s. Note that in the plural, it need not have the, etc., before it (see with others later in text). The compound “another” may also be a pronoun.

With flowers in her hand and a bag and a cushion under her arm: In English; possessive adjectives are used before nouns naming parts of the body in cases where other languages might use the word “for” the “or” word at all. Note that, when a preposition points to two nouns joined by and, it is not usually repeated.

In her other hand is a book: An adverb etc. may be put at the beginning of a statement of which the operator is be not completed by a noun or adjective.

Here is my train: This order with be (subject to the condition stated above) is obligatory with here and there when they are not emphatic, that is, not used definitively to distinguish "this place" from "that place." Compare the order above: My house is here. The station is there. The possessive adjectives are used very widely in English to indicate that a thing relates in some way to the person or persons in question.

The back of the train: Back and front may be used loosely for 'the more or less rear portion'

The front of the train: and 'the more or less forward portion.'

Separate molecule is smallest electric engine ever

For the first time, an electric engine has been made from a single molecule¹. At 1X10e-09 meter long, that makes the organic²compound³the smallest electric engine ever. Its agents putting into existence the idea to put forward their design to Guinness World records, but the small engine could also have good uses, such as pushing liquid (or gas) through narrow pipes in "lab-on-a-chip" apparatus.

Molecules¹ have previously converted energy from light and chemical reactions into directed motion like rolling or moving up and down. Electrics has also set an oxygen molecule¹turning as by chance. But controlled,

Red wine's heart condition chemical unlocked at last

Red wine's heart condition chemical unlocked at last

Like receiving the heart safe-keeping powers of red wine without having to drink a glass every day? Soon you may be able to, thanks to the putting together of chemicals formed from resveratrol¹, the smallest unit believed to give wine its safe-keeping powers. The chemicals have the possible & unused quality to fight many diseases, including cancer².

Plants make a very great range of chemicals, called polyphenols³,from resveratrol¹to keep safe (out of danger) themselves against ones making attack, particularly Fungi⁴. But they only make very small amounts of each chemical, making it greatly not simple for men of science to put or keep away and make use of them. The changing nature resveratrol¹has also slowed down attempts at

No one really uses reason

No one really uses reason

Though many may see it as troubling, it is now clear that few of the action-bound processes taking place in our brains ever touch on our being conscious. In other words, we do most of our "thinking" without ever being conscious of it. The simple act of seeing something depends upon what the German expert in physics, medical man and wise man Hermann von Helmholtz called "unconscious things discovered by reasoning". It is these that make able our brain to work out which thing is causing the unworked signs coming from our senses. The same general rule put to use in acting. When we act a simple act, getting up a glass, for example, we are not conscious of the complex decisions our brain has to make about the best way to move our arm and form our fingers.

Young persons with low self-control

New Scientist, 2011-01-01 17:18:22 by New Scientist.

Young persons with low self-control are less good adults

Children who exist without self-control are more likely to become adults with poor condition of body and control of money.

So say Avshalom Caspi at Duke University in North Carolina, Terrie Moffitt at King's College London and persons having like-position, who followed the forward development of 1000 children born between 1972 and 1973in New Zealand. The group measured self-control by asking the boys and girls, as well as their parents and teachers, about their behavior every two years between the ages of 3and 15,and then at 18, 21, 26 and 32.

Children with higher levels of self-control were more likely to have a higher society & money position and a higher IQ ¹. After adjusting for both points, the group found that adults who had low self-control as children were more likely to be overweight, have substance wrongly use questions, base of teeth disease and through sex let through disease.

First sperm cells grown from nothing

First sperm cells able to keep living grown from nothing

FOR the first time small rat-like animal sperm¹ able to keep living have been grown outside thetestes². If the way can be done over again and again with mankind sperm¹, it could lead to new ways of giving attention to not-fertile men.

Takuya Sato at Yokohama City University in Japan and persons having like-position in the same organization got from seeds cells from the testes² of fresh after birth small rat-like animals that had not yet begun producing sperm¹. They placed the cells in agarose³soft paste made wet for giving food to chemicals and hormones⁴such as eggs undergoing growth in cow-like serum⁵ and testosterone⁶. The group had first engineered the small rat-like animal so
