How to make your own Internet page
It’s easy to make your own Internet page. The easiest way is to use a special programme called a “web editor”. You can find these programmes on the Internet.
First think about some things to put on your Internet page by looking at other people’s pages. You need to put your Internet page on a bigger computer called a “host” which stores the pages so that other people can see them. These computers are owned by special Internet companies. Your programme may be able to help you find a host computer which you can use for free, but some companies will charge money for this.
To make your Internet page, start up the programme and write some text in the window, then use the signs you can see on the computer to put in pictures and make the text larger or smaller, and change the way your page looks.
You can also put photos on your Internet page. First, you need to put the photo in your computer, then use your mouse to move the photo to the place you want it. Choose the correct sign for putting photos onto the page, then find the name of your photo in your computer. When you’ve found it, choose that one with your mouse and put your photo on your Internet page.
You can also put signs on your Internet page to join it to other people’s pages. Visitors to your page can follow these signs to find out more about a subject. For example, if your page includes some information about Madonna, you could put on a sign that takes you to the page for her fan club.
When you have completed your Internet page, you can put it on the Internet. After you put your page on the Internet, anyone will be able to see it.

How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then, cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles, and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second, a typhoon begins.
A typhoon has two parts, One is called the “eye”. In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. This is where the strongest with and hardest rains are.
