the pumpkin and pulled the seeds out. It was not good for me because it was sticky and smelled

mouth. I wanted to make a face like a pirate. When I finished making the face, I put a candle
inside. It was very beautiful, so I was happy.

Read the following passage and answer the questions below:
Salt is very useful. Indeed, we could not do without it. First, it gives flavour to food.
Meat, bread and vegetables would be tasteless without salt. Then salt keeps things from going
bad. Fish or meat kept in salt will keep good for a long time.
Salt is found in two forms. There is liquid salt and solid salt. Sea water is full of salt. In
some places there are salty springs. They flow out of the rocks like fresh springs. Salt is also
found in the form of a rock. This is called rock-salt. It is dug up out of the ground. There are salt
mines in some places near lagoons and very salty seas.
Salt is got out of the sea in this way. Sea water is put into shallow pools. The water dries
up. The white salt crystals are left at the bottom. Here we see this happening in nature. The
Dead Sea, between Jordan and Palestine, has grown smaller over the last 10 years because of
evaporation, )‫ (التبخر‬which removes water faster than rainfall can fill it up again.
