Skil post 2

In my writing class, our teacher gave us another mission; summerize and paraphrase. To complete our class's mision, I'll summerize the article named "Shark attack" and "". Secondly, I'll paraphrase an article named "Bear attack" and "".

Summerize: Shark attack
 It is POSSIBLE to get attack by a shark, it is highly unlikely. Even if you see a shark, ot will not attack you. Instead, struck by lightening is more likely. In fact, it is more likely to drown than to be attackes by a shark. There are several ways to reduce the chances when tou meet a shark. First, travel in groups and stay out of water if you have a cut because shark has a good sense of smell.

Paraphrase: Bear attack [6 paragraph]
 To reduce the chances by bear attacking you, you have to travel in groups. Bear don't usually attack people in groups. also  you have to stay calm and try not to run away if you run into a bear.

 A woman died from loosed horse. She died about half an hour later, according to her husband, who was nearby when the accident occurred. They said “It happens every so often.”. He found her on the ground and bleeding from the mouth. A woman died 30~40 minutes of being kicked. They said, animals aren't predictable even if they are friendly.

Paraphrase: 4th paragraph
 Jerry finished excercising and other horses came back to the barn. He came and saw her bleeding. Paramedics came but it was too late to save her.

Norwegian Forest cat



 HISTORY:
  The exact origin of the Norwegian Forest cat is not known. However, many stories are related to its history. The most plausible of them is the breed being a domestic cat brought to Norway by the Romans. They are also known to solve the rodent problem on the ships of the Vikings during their journeys and are also found in Norwegian fairy tales and mythology. They are known to have the art of disappearing whenever they want. Their coat adapted to the cold weather by growing long and water-resistant over years. In the US, they are known to develop the Main Coon breed. They were exported to the US from Norway in 1979 after the breed had been developed properly.

PERSONALITY:
  They are a very curious, intelligent and active breed. They are one of those cats that keep the playful spirit alive even later in the years. Known by names such as purr box, purr factory, etc tells volumes of its talkative nature. They sound almost like birds when talking to each other. They love playing with their owners especially when they are being chased around. They are very loving and friendly and deeply attach themselves with their owners. They are also very social and love to cuddle with you. They love being with children and other pets also.

  They are suitable as both indoor and outdoor cats. In fact, they make excellent barn cats. They also like to climb around and are good hunters. A climbing device can be installed for them to show their antics and invest their energies on. They are also very patient, making them highly suitable for children. Leaving them for short periods of time is also okay. They can also easily adapt to change and do not get stressed easily.
