Guided writing, page #97 "Why are rain forests important?"

Rain forests are mainly located in the area between the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn. After a period of time the world is going to face a huge drop of rain forests mainly because humans are destructing it. Rain forests provide homes for thousands of different plant and animal species, and when rain forests start to disappear, it's going to effect all kind of species. When people start cutting down trees in the rain forest, the habitat of many animals will disappear, which leads to an extinction to many different animal species. In addition, plants get their nutrients from trees, so when all trees are cut down the plants will most likely going to die. Humans also get benefit from rain forests; medicine and even food are found in rain forests. Coffee and many fruits that are essential to human life are actually originated in rain forests. Today, most of the elements that are found in rain forests can be used to make medicine. The climate of a rain forest is mostly humid because of all the rain, which also prevents dry weather.

The history of Pepsi

 Pepsi Cola, one of the most famous drinks in the world, that currently has millions of factories all around the world first started in 1898. The man who came up with this idea is Caleb Bradham, when he first dropped out of school because his father couldn't afford the fees; his business was bankrupt. Caleb decided to open a drug store in New Bern and called it "Bradham Drug Company". His store housed a soda fountain, and by time he started getting compliments about how good the soda is, so he called it "Brad's drink". By time, he renamed the drink to Pepsi-cola because it contained "pepsin" and "cola". On June 16, 1903, Pepsi-Cola was registered with the US, so he began expanding the drink and selling it with bottles so it can be more convenient to the buyers.  http://www.pepsistore.com/history.asp
