EATING OUT THE JAPANESE WAY (2do Medio)

Tomoe Sushi is one of New York's high quality sushi restaurants, if you don't mind waiting in a line for a seat. I really enjoyed my visit there - the sushi served is delicious and a great value. We had some great rolls with salmon - you could really feel they were fresh! Then we ordered a portion of Trout Roses - 6 pieces. They were fantastic and the rice was great - it was the right texture and not too soft. I'm not a great expert at eating with chopsticks so it took me a while to get the hang of it but once I tried it was not too difficult. Finally, we had some Japanese green tea and a few sweet rice cookies.

Sushi has a very interesting origin and it continues to be a popular food today. It is made with a combination of shellfish, cooked or raw fish, vegetables, and rice. Although sushi is most commonly linked to Japan, it actually began in China during the 7th Century. When people caught fish they had to preserve it and the only method was by fermentation. People cleaned, filleted, and pressed raw fish between some sea salt and usually put a very heavy stone on top of it. The fish stayed this way for weeks until the cook removed the stone and then put on some type of light cover. The fish remained in the salt layers for a couple of months until the fermentation process was complete.

Tomoe is the kind of place where decoration doesn't really matter. It is simple enough, with a few Japanese prints; the waiters are Japanese - all really quick and polite. And the price was also right, considering that the meal was good and abundant enough.

THE LIFE OF A TEEN INVENTOR (1ro Medio)

Spencer Davis creates all types of inventions in his garage. He is a big fan of do-it-yourself

inventing, which requires little more than a few pieces of trash, drugstore supplies and a lot of imagination. Spencer’s passion for inventing began in eighth grade. Before that, he had done some experiments with barbeque skewers and rubber bands. Since then, his creations have improved in design, appearance, and technology. Over the years, Spencer has designed bunkers, tree houses, robots, and caffeinated cereal. Besides, Spencer also enjoys sillier types of inventing; he has “fixed” an old tape player to put his iPod inside and play it through the tape. Another high-voltage creation is what Spencer calls “the glove.” In essence, it is a leather glove with a battery and disposable camera parts wrapped in electrical tape.  Although Spencer’s mother expresses some worries about his inventions, she is very supportive of Spencer’s hobby. For him, inventing is a constructive activity, and it’s good for teens who might be involved in more destructive hobbies. He dedicates about six hours of every weekend to work on his inventions. Then, he blows off steam and gets new inspirations by playing video games. For the summer, Spencer has plans to build an

electric boat powered entirely by solar panels. Spencer hopes to continue inventing through college and perhaps turn his experimentations into a career. “Inventing is an investment,” Spencer says.“Some of the inventions will work and others won’t, but in the end you will be satisfied. I’ll definitely be making stuff forever.”
