The tomato is from South America. When the tomato came to Europe, people　did not eat it. Doctors said it would make them sick. So people just grew tomatoes because they looked nice.
Now people from all over the world eat tomatoes. Tomatoes are used in sauce, soup, juice, salsa, and ketchup. The tomato is very good for you. Only a tomato leaf or stem will make you sick.People do odd things with tomatoes. People grow tomatoes in space. There is a big tomato fight every year in Spain. A long time ago, people would toss a bad tomato when they saw a show they did not like.  (from BC Reads: Adult Literacy Fundamental English – Reader 1 by Shantel Ivits)

In 1918, at 11 a.m., on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the world rejoiced and celebrated. After four years of bitter war, the Armistice between the Allies and Germans was signed. World War I, called the “war to end all wars,” was over.
November 11 was set aside as Armistice Day in the United States,to remember the sacrifices that menand women made during the war in order to ensure a lasting peace. On Armistice Day, soldiers who survived the war marched in parades through their hometowns. Politicians and veteran　officers gave speeches and held ceremonies of thanks for the peace they had won.(from https://americanenglish.state.gov)
