Sir Walter Raleigh (was) an English traveller who (lived) in England in the days of Queen Elizabeth. He (sailed) across the seas to America in search of new lands. He (brought) to England two very important plants: the tobacco plant and the potato. When he (was) in America, he (learnt) to smoke from the Indians. When he (was) back in England, he (was sitting) one day in his room by the fire smoking a pipe. His old servant who (knew) nothing about tobacco or smoking, suddenly (came) into the room and (saw) the smoke coming out of his master's mouth. He (was) frightened: he (thought) Sir Raleigh (was) on fire. He (rushed) out of the room, (got) some water and (threw) it all over his master before Sir Walter (could) explain that he was simply (smoking). Sir Raleigh (brought) the potato to his country because he (wanted) the people (to learn) how (to grow) potatoes. He (said): "When the harvest (is) poor, there (will be) no breed and we (shall all be) hungry. You (will) never be hungry if you (grow) potatoes. But people (did not like) potatoes. Nobody (wanted) (to eat) them because nobody (knew) how (to cook) them."After many years a Frenchman (found) the best way of growing and cooking the potato. People (began) (eating) potatoes and (found) them good. Since that time more and more potatoes (have been grown) and (eaten) in Europe. The potatoes (have become) one of the most important and useful vegetable.
Magazine is one of the major mass media. Magazine is a collection of articles and stories. Usually magazines also contain illustrations.
The earliest magazines developed from newspapers and booksellers catalogs. Magazines provide information on a wide range of topics such as business, culture, hobbies, medicine, religion, science, and sports. Some magazines entertain their readers with fiction, poetry, photography or articles about TV, or movie stars.
Magazines are designed to be kept for a longer time in comparison to newspapers and that is why they are printed on a better paper and have covers. Magazines, unlike newspapers, do not focus on daily, rapidly changing events.
There are specialized magazines intended for special business, industrial and professional groups, and consumer magazines intended for general public. There are several kinds of consumer magazines.
