María José Fuster has officially broken a world record by collecting 15,485 egg cups, a hobby she’s been passionate about for over 50 years.

Guinness World Records confirmed her achievement after two witnesses helped count each item at a community centre in her hometown.

Fuster’s collection features a wide range of colours, patterns, and fun designs, including egg cups decorated with characters like Superman, Betty Boop, and Garfield. These small cups are usually used to hold boiled eggs, but for Fuster, they are treasures from around the world.

To keep track of everything, she runs two blogs — one shows pictures and details of each egg cup, while the other honours the many people who have donated to her collection.

Right now, over 1,100 of her favourite egg cups are being displayed in a nearby museum.

Room 4 planted a garden behind their classroom. They watered the seeds, pulled out weeds, and watched small green shoots appear. Some plants grew vegetables, and others grew bright flowers. The children measured the plants each week and wrote down what they noticed. By the end of the term, the garden had changed a lot. The class learned that plants need care, sunlight, and time to grow well.

What is the main idea of this passage?

The class only measured the garden once. The class planted a garden and learnt how plants grow. The children liked flowers more than vegetables. The plants grew quickly because of the weeds.
