    Our Vacation a fiction

    Every year, we go to Florida. We like to go to the beach.

    My favorite beach is called Emerson Beach. It is very long, with soft sand and palm trees. It is very beautiful. I
    like to make sandcastles and watch the sailboats go by. Sometimes there are dolphins and whales in the
    water!

    Every morning we look for shells in the sand. I found fifteen big shells last year. I put them in a special place
    in my room. This year I want to learn to surf. It is hard to surf, but so much fun! My sister is a good surfer.
    She says that she can teach me. I hope I can do it!

    TV a nonfiction text
    Televisions show sounds and pictures. They get data from cables, discs,
    or over-the-air signals. They turn this data into sounds and images.
    People watch news and shows on them. You probably call them TVs.

    The first TV was made by John Baird in 1925. It had one color. It could
    only show 30 lines. This was just enough room for a face. It didn't work
    well, but it was a start.

    The first TV station was set up in 1928. It was in New York. Few people
    had TVs. The broadcasts were not meant to be watched. They showed a
    Felix the Cat doll for two hours a day. The doll spun around on a record
    player. They were experimenting. It took many years to get it right.

    By the end of the 1930s, TVs were working well. America got its first
    taste at the 1939 World's Fair. This was one of the biggest events ever.
    There were 200 small, black and white TVs set up around the fair. The An American family watching TV in 1950s.
    U.S. President gave a speech over the TVs. The TVs were only five
    inches big but the people loved it.

    They wanted TVs. But World War II was going on during this time.
    Factories were busy making guns and bombs. When the war was over, TV
    spread across the country.

    By 1948 there were 4 big TV networks in America. They aired their shows
    from 8 to 11 each night. Local shows were aired at other times. Most of
    the time, nothing was shown at all. TV was not "always on" like it is now.

    Color TVs came out in 1953. They cost too much money for most. Also,
    shows were aired in black and white. By 1965, color TVs were cheaper. TV
    stations started airing shows in color. People had to switch if they wanted
    to see the shows.

    Now most TVs are high-def. This means that they have many lines on
    them. This makes the image clear. TVs have come a long way since
    Baird's 30 line set. High-def TVs have 1080 lines. There are state of the
    art sets called 4K TVs. These TVs have 3,840 lines. Some people watch An American family watching TV in 1950s.
    TV in 3D. I wonder what they will come up with next. Smell-o-vision
    anyone?
