    What can 3-D printers*make? They can make lots of things, such as toys and car parts. But what about a house? In the Netherland 3-D printed houses will soon come into life, according to The Guardian

The Netherlands is the first country to have this technology*.

    Scientists plan to build five houses with 3-D printers. The first house will be finished by the end of 2019. It will be a house with three bedrooms. For the first house, only the walls will be 3-D printed. A 3-D printer will print it with a special cement. The printer will print it layer upon layer to build the walls. After that, workers will make the wall stronger.

    By the time they start working on the fifth house, the scientists hope that most parts of the house will be made with 3-D printing. Even the windows can be made with a 3-D printer.

    The 3-D printed houses have many advantages. For example, they use less cement than traditional houses. It can help save a lot of money. Also, 3-D printing can make buildings in almost any shape*. Traditionally-built homes usually come in just a few shapes

    Daisy is a teacher who works in a primary school. She often plays games with her students so they like her class a lot.

    One day, Daisy decided to have her class play a potato game. She told each student to carry a bag with a few potatoes in it to school. Each student would "name" their potatoes after people they did not like, so the number of potatoes would be different depending on*their own situations.

    The next day, all of the students brought their potatoes to school. Some children had just one or two potatoes, while others had as many as five or six. The children were taking about names of their potatoes happily when Daisy came into the classroom. She then told the children that they would have to carry their potatoes with them for one week wherever they went, even when they went to the restroom. The children laughed and thought the game was really interesting.

    A few days passed by. Some of the students started to complain, as their potatoes began to rot and had a strong and bad smell. The students who carried more potatoes also complained about how heavy their bags were.

    One week later, the kids were so happy to hear their teacher say that the game was over. Daisy asked, "How did you feel about carrying around your potatoes for a week?"

    The students complained once again. Daisy simply smiled and said, "This is what it's like to carry hate* in your heart. You have to carry it with you wherever you go. If you can't bear* carrying rotten potatoes for one week, can you imagine having hate in your heart for your lifetime?"
