When warm water vapour rises into the sky, it cools and condenses into small drops of water. This is because the air high up is cold. Some drops freeze and change into ice.

In the sky, winds blow the drops of water. Drops hit one another and join together. When lots of water drops join together, they form big white or grey shapes. These are called clouds.

Sometimes water drops in the clouds become big and heavy and start to fall to the ground. This is rain. In colder weather, ice in the clouds also sinks and falls to the ground. This is snow.

Water vapour rises in the sky. When water vapour rises, it evaporates. Some water drops turn into ice. Clouds are made of water vapour. When clouds form, rain always falls. Snow is ice which falls from cold clouds.

Computers
1
Computers are probably the most important modern invention. They are machines which follow instructions or programs. The programs tell the computer how to store and control electronic information. A computer can do difficult sums quicker than we can close our eyes.

Computers are important for three main reasons. First, they are flexible: we can use them in many different ways. Computers also can work quickly and accurately with large quantities of information. Also, computers can store enormous quantities of information and they never forget it.

Computers are everywhere today. At home, we use them to send e-mails and for the internet. In banks, computers store information about peoples money. Factories use them to control robots that can do work which people did in the past. Most books are now made with the help of computers. Doctors use computers to help to examine their patients. Computers have made life easier for people.

and my brother and I forgot about the sea. For a time I was happy, but then I started to dream about my father and the sea. One day, I phoned Mike. I said, I want to go to sea. I want to sail around the world. Mike answered, I want to come, too.

3 When we told our mother, she said,

You can go if you do what I ask. You must become good sailors. You must buy a good boat. You must speak to me every day on the radio so I know how you are. Finally, you must take a lifeboat so you will be safe if your boat sinks.

To be healthy, our bodies need food like meat, rice, fruit, beans and vegetables. Food gives us energy, but we need a healthy diet to give us the right quantities of energy.

2
When we do sports, our bodies use more energy and need more food than when we watch TV. To be healthy, the quantity of food that we eat should be the same as the energy which our bodies use.

3
Calories tell us how much energy there is in different food. For example, meat and cheese have a lot of calories in them. Other food, like vegetables and fruit, have fewer calories.

In the past, people usually ate food which they grew or bought and cooked themselves. Now, many people buy and eat cooked food. This food sometimes looks good but it has many calories in it. If we often eat food with too many calories in them, we start to put on weight.
