Different animals are good at guarding in different situations. Some people own dogs to guard their homes. Dogs can bark a warning when strangers (or mail carriers) show up. Dogs usually live well in city homes. But if you're in the country, you might prefer a donkey instead. That's especially true if you have sheep, pigs, or horses to protect. Donkeys can fight off coyotes and wolves better than many dogs. A donkey is easier to care for, too. It can just eat the grass in the pasture with the other animals. 1.Compare-contrast 2.sequential

A geode is a special rock. It's rounded, hollow, and lined with sparkly crystals. If you crack it open, then you'll see crystals of blue, pink, purple, or other colors. Geodes form when a bubble of air is caught in a layer of rock. That could happen when a volcano explodes. Volcanic rock surrounds the hot bubble. Then, rain soaks through into the middle of the bubble. The water contains different minerals. More water brings in more minerals, over millions of years. Different minerals make differently colored crystals inside the geode. 1.Compare-contrast 2.cause-effect

Everybody gets holey socks. But you don't have to throw them away; try darning instead. Here are quick sock-darning directions. First, gather some cotton thread, lightweight yarn, a lightbulb, a special darning needle, scissors, and a rubber band, plus your holey sock. To begin, put the sock over the bulb so that you can see the hole, and hold it in place with the rubber band. Next, thread the needle and start sewing. You'll sew long stitches back and forth across the hole, all in one direction, filling the hole with thread. Now comes the fun part. Thread the yarn onto a yarn needle and weave it in and out, up and down, through the threads, across the hole in the opposite direction from the threads. This creates a sturdy patch in your sock. 1. sequential 2.compare and contrast

For centuries, ships sailing between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans faced a very long journey. A vessel going from New York to San Francisco had to sail all the way around South America. That twelve-thousand-mile trip took almost ten weeks. Eventually, the United States addressed this issue. Workers dug an enormous canal, fifty miles long. It went through a narrow piece of land in the country of Panama. The canal shortened the voyage from New York to San Francisco by eight thousand miles. 1.descriptive 2.problem-solution
