Hey , Atilano, at this time , i am sending to you some remarks  about
the last lesson from  English book .
 
DID THE CHINESE DISCOVER AMERICA

   Well, infact , it talks about hints that says
Christopher Columbus was not the first explorer to
come to new world .

Leif  Ericson was the person that crossed the
Atlantic and visited North America in the seventh
century .

   A historian Gavin Menzies , has theorized that the Chinese
made the journey too. According to him, the chinese explored
Australia 350 years before and arrived on American shores
71 years before Christother Columbus did .

  Well , from my point of view . I think that those informations are
not too clear to believe. I say this ,because i did not knowledges
about it , and even the historians in college do not say, or teach
students .
 
  How strange .  that sounds weard .
 
what do you think about it .

Hello, Mr Pimentel . This is a summary of  two missing lessons.

THE UPS AND DOWN OF YO - YOS

   Well, no body knows for sure when or where YO -YOS
originated , but the best guess is China about 3000  years ago.

   But, the fisrt historical record of YO - YOS is however from
Greece around 500 BC. YO -YOS next appeared in India around
1765. Within a few decades, it really appeared in Western Europe.

   In Paris in the 1790 , this toy was called  JOU -JOU, and one
theory is that the name YO YO  comes from this term . In instance,
in England it was a symbol of  wealth . In fact , it was made of crystal  ,
jade , or ivory and were decorated with silver, gold and precious stones.


   At last ,a filipino  named Pedro Flores started building this precious
plaything , with wood and those were the first that in which string were not tied to
the axle.

yo-yo

Yo-yo

The yo-yo in its simplest form is an object consisting of an axle connected to two disks, and a length of twine (usually called a string) looped around the axle, similar to a slender spool. It is played by holding the free end of the string (usually by inserting one finger in a slip knot) allowing gravity or the force of a throw to spin the yo-yo and unwind the string (similar to how a pullstring works), then allowing the yo-yo's spin to wind itself back to one's hand; Often called "yo-yoing". First made popular in the 1920s, yo-yoing remains a popular pastime of many generations and cultures. The newest generation and culture of yo-yo participants often refer to the act of yo-yoing as "flinging".

In the simplest play, the string is intended to be wound on the spool by hand; The yo-yo is thrown downwards, hits the end of the string, then winds up the string toward the hand, and finally the yo-yo is grabbed, ready to be thrown again. Many other tricks exist, most based on the basic sleeper trick.^[1] One of the most famous tricks on the yo-yo is "walk the dog". This is done by throwing a strong sleeper and allowing the yo-yo to roll across the floor, before tugging it back to the hand. English historical names for the yo-yo include bandalore (from French) and quiz. French historical terms include bandalore, incroyable, de Coblenz, emigrette, and joujou de Normandie (joujou meaning little toy).^[2]
