Fed recalls. That did not stop them though and the business has become more and more successful.

The word gelato means“frozen”originally. Since ancient Rome, people have been enjoying cold desserts. Many think gelato is just an ltalian name for ice cream. But actually it is a different product. According to Fed and Guido, the difference between ice cream and gelato is the amount of fat in the product. In ice cream you have an average of 17-18% of fat, but with Italian gelato you have 10%.

It was Guido who first came up with the idea. He thought that if they. got the best materials, they could make top quality gelato.

Their efforts paid off. Sales of their gelato have doubled in Italy every year since 2008. It outpaced (超过) the growth of every other type of iced dessert by some way. The company grows from two employees in 2003 to nearly 700 employees today.

Newspapers in the Classroom

➊ Creating a classroom newspaper will be a great fun. First of all, decide who is going to work on what section of the newspaper. For example, one group could handle the Sports section, and another could take care of the Arts. All students should have some say as to which news stories will be included.

❷ Next, before you begin any work, it's a good idea to have a look at a few different examples. Collect some from home, or find them at your local or school library. As you are reading through your newspapers, take note of what parts of the newspaper impress you the most. If the newspapers you have are old and no longer being used by anyone, cut some of your favorite sections and pictures out: They can be used later on.

❸ Keep track of your ideas by separating them into sections, much the same as a real paper is in sections. Do you want a sports section? An arts page? A science section? These are the things you need to decide.

❹ One really wonderful way to decide what kind of feeling your newspaper will have is to carry out a survey, either in the classroom or the entire school, Questions you could ask include: What do you like reading about? Do you prefer pictures or stories? And what do you like best in the newspapers you read?

❺ When you are set with your ideas, you will have to think about the next step which is actually putting the newspaper together. Decisions to be made include: How many pages will your newspaper have? Who will write the articles, draw the pictures and/or take the photos? How many articles will the newspaper have?
