Boys and girls,
Attention, please! I have an announcement to make. Our class is going to pay visit to a model high school in Wednesday morning. We will go there by school buses at 8 a.m. All the students are required to gather at the school gate on time.
Having been reached the model high school, I will start from the main building. Then we willvisit the lab building, which students usually do experiments. After that, we will go to the art center opposite to the lab building. Farther outside you will hear the students playing musical instruments. But between the lab building and the art center lie a beautiful fountain, the center of the schoolyard. Finally we would arrive at the playground at the back of the school, a place for students to do all kinds of sports. That’s all. Thank you.

According to Turner, his artificial blood is 9. (likely) to contain disease viruses or produce side effects. And the best part is that 10. he managed to produce was type O- blood. Not only is it a rare blood type, it’s also a universal type, which means it can be transfused into any patient.
