4b Paraphrase

Paraphrase:
This time, we're looking at fossils. First off, William Smith was trying to figure out how to seperate rocks by their ages. He realized that he needed some form of reference, and the answer lay within fossils. As we learnt in science, with different levels of rocks, there are different fossils of species. Smith later on published a map, which became one of the most important publications of geology. However, he didn't care about why they were there.
Nevertheless, as we bring God in the equation, there are many questions that are left to be answered. Why did God kill off so many species, and were those ones killed but not other ones?
Later on, there were many other dinosaur bone discoveries, but none were really investigated.
Nonetheless, in England, Mary Anning found another fossil, and started gathering fossils and selling them, becoming the origin of the tongue twister 'she sells seashells on the seashore'.

I just remembered about the science test we had today.
I'm glad that I didn't think much about the test afterwards, otherwise I would have been very depressed the entire day. I didn't even manage to start on the last page, so 6 marks are gone right there. I don't even want to think about how many marks I lost/can get, or even if I'm going to get an A or not.
MP did say something that I should keep in mind though. She said something along the lines of how one test is so insignificant in our long paths in school. It'd really help to keep that in mind.
After remember this, I practiced piano. Not so much because I wanted to practice, but because I was not happy about the sciente test.
