How to Wash Clothes Using Washing Machine
The following steps tell us how to wash clothes using a washing machine. First, separate the colored clothes from the others. Then, put them in the washing machine, turn the machine on, set it to the wash selection and pour the detergent powder in. Next, wait for the tub to fill with water. After the washing process has finished, let the clothes drain through the drain hose. After that, set the knob of the wash timer again to rinse for three minutes. Do this twice for a good rinsing. Finally, move the wet clothes into the spin compartment, set the knob and wait until the spin process shuts off. Now, you are ready to dry up the clothes on line.

Giant Sequoia - the Ancient Tree in Danger
Just like its name, Giant Sequoia is indeed big. Its height can reach 66 meters. It can have a truck as wide as eight meters at the base. The biggest tree today is 83 meters in height and 12.1 meters in diameter.
Giant Sequoia is also a very ancient tree. This tree, for instance, is about 5100 years old. Ecologist says the tree can live that long because of its resistance to climate, disease or insects.
But recently, their species are in danger. Fire attacked the Giant Sequoia national monument last month. Millions of firefighters struggled to put up the fire.

Rubberwood

Report Text
Read the text below attentively!
What is Rubberwood? 
Rubberwood is the standard common name for the timber of Hevea Brasiliensis. Rubberwood (also called Parawood in Thailand) is one of the more durable lumbers (wood) used in the manufacturing of today’s home furnishings. Rubberwood has very little shrinkage, making it one of the more stable construction materials available for furniture manufacturing. Rubberwood has very little tendency to warp or crack.
Like maple, rubberwood is a sap producing species. In the case of maple, it is sap; in the case of rubberwood, it is latex. Rubberwood produces all the latex used in the world for all rubber based products.
There is one more important feature of rubberwood that is very important in today’s world. Rubberwood is the most ecologically friendly lumber used in today’s furniture industry. After the economic life of the rubber tree, which is generally 26 – 30 years, the latex yields become extremely low and the planters then fell the rubber trees and plant new ones. So, unlike other woods that are cut down for the sole purpose of producing furniture, rubberwood is used only after it completes its latex producing cycle and dies. This wood is therefore eco-friendly in the sense that we are now using what was going as waste.
