Our lecture is about candy. To be exact our lecture is about chewing gum. We think that everybody knows what chewing gum is. But for the chewing gum dummies amongst us, we are going to explain what chewing gum is.

Chewing gum is a sort of candy. This candy has a square shape, and when you put it in your mouth and chew on it… it become a sort of sticky substance.

Gum has been around for thousand and thousand of years. A few years ago a piece of gum was found in Sweden, that piece of gum was over nine thousand years old.

Gum is made in a gum factory. Gum is made out of “gom”, you can find this substance in trees. There are two sorts of gum. Normal chewing gum, and bubble gum.

The normal chewing gum, like ‘sportlife’ exists for hundred and forty years. Before that chewing gum had no taste, and was just made out of “gom”.

The other chewing gum is ‘Bubble Gum’. Bubble gum exists for sixty years now. With bubble gum you can make big bubbles. People chew this gum mostly for the fun of it.

But gum isn’t just for fun. Chewing gum is also healthy. It reduces the chance to ear infections. It has also been proven that gum make your brain function better.

SO CHEWING GUM AT SCHOOL IS ACTUALLY VERY GOOD FOR YOU!!!

However, gum is not good for the environment. Because we all chew about one hundred thousand ton of chewing gum each year.

Sometimes people keep competitions of who can blow the biggest bubble. This is not only done by children, but also by grownups.

SO CHEWING GUM IS NOT JUST FOR KIDS.
