28、ng marbles at school led to schoolchildren consuming his marble collection.

29、selling website and orders started pouring in.Tina says her sons attachment to marbles started when he was just 6.“His attachment became so passionate that we started calling him the Marble King so when he wanted to set up a website it was the natural name for it,” she told The Sun.“I never thought

35、ndwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it.

Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for ten to fifteen
36、minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for sixty to seventy minutes a day which really is pretty much for handwriting.Many adults remember learning that way by copying letters over and over again.

Armed with trowels, spades and a van full of flowers and plants, guerrilla gardeners turn abandoned urban land into a blaze of color.
45、 In city centre locations where there was mud, weeds and empty plastic bottles, residents often wake up to find that the wasted area has been transformed overnight with brightly-colored bedding plants.In most British cities, local governments and police turn a blind eye to the effort of the gardeners, whose activities are always carried out under cover of nightfall.
