How many food items are in a supermarket?
How many food items are in a supermarket? Thousands? Millions? How many have you tried? If you're like me, probably way less than even one percent. Every time I shop, I go to the same aisles and buy the same things. Yet, for as long as I can remember, I've told others (this is called "unasked‐for advice," which is universally annoying but still, universally practiced), "You should always buy a new food item every time you shop. Even if you don't like it, at least you're wiser for it."

The table.
Today, I'm going to start with some simple sentences. It's description in details some things around me. I'm just going to talk about the usual stuff. For example, 'table'. It's a piece of furniture consisting of a smooth flat slab fixed on legs. If the table is a piece of furniture then a table outdoor is garden furniture, also called patio furniture. Anyway, it's furniture.
What usually happened when used a table? If it's a dining table then many people eating lunch usually in the family circle. I guess when the table is round but the family circle does not mean geometry, It's a symbol of community. Well, I know this sounds crazy, but how would King Arthur choose the next knight of his roundtable? Head of a roundtable - how does that work? I need to read about it. There's a lot of great books that have been written about this.

Typical work week
During a typical work week, one of my biggest tasks is checking in on my staff and assessing their progress on various projects. I like to meet first thing on Monday to discuss our priorities for the week, then meet again in the middle of the week to check progress, and meet once at the end of the week to discuss goal setting for the next week. I meet with smaller groups of my staff during the middle of the week to troubleshoot any issues. For example, during a recent mid-week meeting, I noticed one team was a few days behind on a long-term project. I met with the team and, together, we came up with a strategy for increasing efficiency among the team. Along with constant interaction with my team, I also attend a weekly board meeting where I present my department’s progress to the executive board. On Fridays, once all these tasks are completed, I make sure I have completed all necessary communication for the week via email and in person, and create a list of priorities for next week.

Summary. Has a queen bee got a crown? And home lunch.
She says, "Thank you, Granpa. I understand that honeybees are social animals because they don't live alone. They live together. They have got stings, so they can protect themselves against enemies. They can rule themselves because they have got queen bees. By the way, may I ask you a question about queen bees?"
"Yes, of course," answers the grandfather. She asks, "Has a queen bee got a crown?" The grandfather laughs and says, "You are joking. They are not real queens. They are animal (insect) queens. They don't wear crowns." When the lunchtime comes, daughter and grandfather go home together. The grandfather cooks some chicken. Daughter sets the table. She puts two spoons, two forks and two plates on the table. She brings some salt and pepper. And then she makes a salad. She slices two tomatoes. She peels some onions and a cucumber.

Cover story. The grandfather is the guru of beekeeping. The cat alive and well.
ALL PERSONS, PLACES AND EVENTS IN THIS STORY ARE FICTITIOUS.
In the morning, my sister gets up early and washes her face. There is some honey, cheese, butter, and milk for breakfast. At that time Mursy comes. He wags his tail and meows. He wants some milk. The grandfather gives him some fresh milk. My sister and her grandfather have breakfast. And then they go out because her grandfather is going to show her his bees. In the garden, a lot of bees are buzzing. Some are flying. Mursy is running after them. My sister asks her grandfather, "Granpa, What do honeybees do? Where do they live? How can they fly? How do they make honey? Can you tell me about them?" The grandfather says, "Certainly, my honey. Honeybees are hardworking animals. They work very hard. They have wings, so they can fly from one flower to another. Bees can see flowers easily. Look at a bee, my granddaughter! You can see only two eyes, but a bee has got nearly twelve thousand eyes. You can see them under a microscope. A bee has two stomachs. One is the honey stomach. The other is the real stomach."
"Bees sometimes swarm. Queen bees lay many, many eggs. These eggs hatch into worker bees. Hives become very crowded. Old bees leave hives. An old queen usually lives with them. They fly in a swarm to a tree. A bee-keeper watches his swarm. He doesn't want to lose his bees. He brings a new hive. He shakes the bees into a basket and puts them in the new hive. The bees do their jobs. They live together in the hive happily." says the grandfather.

In a language course I saw: "We had had a good time"
