The Secret Garden
At first each day that passed by for Mary Lennox was exactly like the others. Every morning she awoke in her tapestried room and found Martha kneeling upon the hearth building her fire; every morning she ate her breafkfast in the nursery which had nothing amusing in it; and after each breakfast she gazed out of the window across to the huge moor which seemed to spread out on all sides and climb up to the sky, and after she had stared for a while she realized that if she did not go out she would have to stay in and do nothing – and so she went out. She did know that this was the best thing she could have done, and she did not know that when she began to walk quickly or even run along the paths and down the avenue, she was stirring her slow blood and making herself stronger by fighting with the wind that swept down from the moor. She ran only to make herself warm, and she hated the wind which rushed at her face and roared and held her back as if it were some giant she could not see.
But the big breathes of rough fresh air blown over the heather filled her lungs with something which was good for her whole thing body and whipped some red color into her cheeks and brightened her dull eyes when she did not know anything about it.
But after a few days spent almost entirely out of doors, she wakened one morning knowing what it was to be hungry, and when she sat down to her breakfast she did not glance disdainfully at her porridge and push it away, but but took up her spoon and began to eat it and went on eating it until her bowl was em

Essay 1 – Rolling File Cabinets
Original copy
Rolling file Cabinets
How many times during a work day have you had to stop what you are working on, push yourself away from your desk, and hunt down a file stored away in a stationary filing cabinet stuck in some other room of the office? Not only does it distract you from what you are working but it also takes time. Rolling file cabinets can help you reduce the amount of time you spend walking around the office to find files, and they can also help you stay more organized and on top of all the work you need have to accomplish.
Rolling file cabinets usually have two drawers, occasionally three. And, obviously, they have wheels, which make it possible to roll the cabinets around. Because they are made to be manually pushed around the office, rolling file cabinets are purposely smaller and lighter than most standard filing cabinets.
Having a rolling file cabinet makes it possible to carry around a group of files that would otherwise be extremely inconvenient to lag around. It can easily be wheeled to meetings where a large amount of paperwork will either be made or needed. You can keep the rolling file cabinet by your side at work to sift through during the day and easily put the files back in the stationary filing cabinets at the end of your shift.
