I’m very glad I had the opportunity to meet Chris. He moved into the house next to two years ago. Usually he
(dress) in some kind of tight-fitting multicolored suit which makes him look like

(friend) and genuinely caring, always remembering my birthday and
(bring) me chicken soup or Chinese tea if I’m ill. Chris will help us
he possibly can and is willing to listen to everyone’s problems.
At work he is much appreciated and he has many colleagues ask for his advice each time they have problems
(solve). His work includes
(communicate) with people. He has the power to make it. Although Chris could never be described as ordinary, I enjoy having him
a neighbor. Life is never boring when you have someone like him living next door.

The discovery (make) by a team
(consist) of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and high school students who were seeking a natural water filter—one that would help communities in developing countries that do not have
(accessible) to modern water filter systems.
The (research), led by Professor Rohit Karnik, decided to turn to trees for help because they could allow liquid to flow through, while blocking out air bubbles.
They began by cutting 1.5-inch-wide sections of tree bark from the branches of a white pine tree. The people related then tested the wood’s filtering ability by pouring water containing red dye particles of different sizes through. To their amazement, they found that it was effective in trapping all the articles. (encourage), the team conducted another experiment, this time with water that contained bacteria. Sure enough, the sapwood held back 99% of the bacteria, allowing only 1% to flow through.
