Most of us think that great ideas were the result of genius thinking. However, many of the greatest discoveries and inventions in history began with very simple beginnings. In the 18th century, James Watt was boiling water at home. As the water began to boil, he suddenly noticed that the steam was pushing the lid of the kettle. From this, he created the steam engine. In ancient Greece time, Archimedes stepped into a bath tub and felt that water was being pushed out when he stepped in. This is how he came up with the idea of how to find the purity of gold. In the 17th century, Isaac Newton was sitting under a tree when an apple fell and hit him on the head. This is when he realized the pulling force of the earth - the gravity. There are many other examples of how great ideas began with simple beginnings. What one needs to become an inventor are careful observation and a lot of hard work. 1. James Watt lived in ___.

Read the passage and complete the sentences. Circle A, B, or C. Giving positive nonverbal messages can improve your relationship with your child and develop emotional connections in your family. Most children love being hugged and kissed, for example. This warm and caring body language sends the nonverbal message that you want to be close to your child. Some children with special needs – for example, children with autism and sensory sensitivities –might find body contact difficult. On the other hand, negative nonverbal communication – for example, a grumpy tone of voice or a frown – when you’re doing something fun together might send the message that you don’t really want to be there. So matching your verbal and nonverbal communication makes your words more effective. For example, a teacher might explain a maths problem using her hands to show size and shape. But when verbal and nonverbal messages don’t match, your child might believe the nonverbal – after all, what you see is what you get. Your child learns a lot about nonverbal communication by watching you. For example, if you approach new people in a relaxed way, your child is more likely to do the same. 1. A hug or a kiss sends the message that ___. A. I want to be loved B. I want to be near C. I want to be emotional 2. Children with autism and sensory sensitivities find it hard to ___. A. love B. communicate C. contact physically 3. A frown sends the message that ___. A. I don’t want you B. I want to be near C. I don’t really want to join 4. ___ makes words more effective. A. Using positive actions and body language B. Combining verbal and nonverbal communication C. Explaining a problem using body language 5. The best way for children to learn nonverbal messages is through ___. A. observation B. communication C. immitation III. WRITING 1.

Shining brightly over the park at the back of my house was something that looked like a giant submarine. I don’t remember the exact color of the object, but I think it is silver or metallic. It was hovering and a beam of light was scanning the park and the neighborhood as if it was taking pictures of everything. Maybe it was collecting samples of Earth substances. My heart beat faster and I almost couldn’t breathe. I was terrified. After a minute or so, the whole thing disappeared as if it had never been there. IV. SPEAKING
