The Water Cycle

Written - The water cycle.

Their is the same amount of water on earth today as when the earth was created. Water is extremely important for your life of survival for human beings, plants and animals. I will provide you with an explanation about how water is recycled.

The water cycle is also called the hydro logical cycle. The cycle includes precipitation, evaporation, condensation and transpiration. The water then changes from liquid to vapour then back into liquid again.

Firstly water from lakes, rivers, streams and seas are heated by the sun and evaporates. When the water evaporates it forms clouds by condensation. When clouds become heavy then it falls down as rain assisted by gravity. If the rain falls down in a solid form then it turns into snow and sleet.

When the water reaches the ground and flows across the land until it reaches the rivers, lakes, streams and sea. Some water also sinks into the ground.

The water cycle begins all over again and even evaporation.

Personification

Everyone knows what a person is, but do you know what personification is? A personification is when you assign human qualities to something that isn’t alive.

Examples of personification.

1. The stars danced playfully in the moonlit sky.
2. The run down house appeared depressed.
3. The first rays of the morning tiptoed through the meadow.
4. The bees played hide and seek with the flowers as they buzzed from one to another.
5. The river swallowed the earth as the water continued to rise higher and higher.
6. The thunder grumbled like an old man.
7. At precisely 6:30 am my alarm clock sprang into life.
8. The news took me by surprise.

10. The ocean danced in the moon light.

Writing - How is food digested.

Have you ever wondered how food is digested? I will explain to you how food is digested.

The food is digested when you chew it in your mouth with your teeth and it becomes soggy with your saliva and your tongue pushes it down without you noticing and goes through the trapped or the esophagus. Next the food moves to your stomach.

The food in your stomach breaks down by the digestive juices in your stomach. Then broken down food then moves down to your small intestine and soaks up all the goodness.

The balance of your food moves into the large intestine but the water is taken out. The goodness is left behind and  is carried by the blood to all parts of your body and helps you grow and repair your body and gives you energy.

The waste then exits your body through the anus and in the toilet.  

Its all about me.
