**SUMMARIES**
Read each paragraph. Give an oral summary of it.
1. We see stars in the sky only at night, but they are really there all the time. Our sun is a star. During the day the sun makes the sky bright, so we cannot see the light of the other stars. At night, when the sun is not there, we can easily see the other stars.
SUMMARY:
2. Hamilton Smith made the first mechanical washing machine in 1858. Before this, people had to wash their clothes by hand. In 1910, Alva J. Fisher made the first electric washing machine, which was much easier to use. Washing machines are wonderful because they can wash clothes much faster than people can.
SUMMARY:
3. Jazz is a kind of music that began in the United States in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, in the 1920s. It was very popular then, and still is today. Every night in New Orleans, jazz is played in many places around the city. Sometimes people wait in line just to hear it.
