(Bl Daniel found an article on a website about what aliens might look like. Three different readers sent in their ideas. Read them with Daniel.

I think that aliens might be able to fly. They might look like birds with feathers and two wings. However,they might also have two arms and two legs like people do. They might be able to walk on land. They might have a head like an elephant with a long trunk. They might use the trunk to eat and drink. They might be about two metres tall and weigh about 100 kilograms.

Aliens might look more like a robot than cmy animal or the Earth. I think they might have a large screen on their head. This is how they see and hear. They might have four legs with wheels on them,instead of feet. I do not think aliens need to eat or drink —they might survive just by breathing. There might be a special machine in their body. It could help them breathe.

I think aliens might have lote of eyes. They might her eyes on the front on the bsck of their he习d. They might very long arms with eyee. They might have eyes on their hands too.They could look inside roome and around cornere only ueing their handes.

(A Daniel is very interested in life on other planets. After reading the article "Moving to Mars", he found another article about the same topic on a website. Read it with him.

   Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. People have imagined living on Mars since the beginning of the 20th century. However,scientists still need to solve many problems before we can live on Mars.

     Firstly,Mars can be hot,but sometimes it can be very cold. Although the temperature can be 35°C. it can also be as low as -143°C. It is impossible for human settlers to survive under this kind of low temperature. Secondly,water is a problem. About three billion years ago,there was water on Mars. However,it is frozen and has become ice now.

    In spite of the above problems,people continue to talk about living on Mars. Read this story written by a famous author. Many readers are delighted by his imagination.

    I iuas born in a dome on Mars. My parents used to liue on the Earth. They moued here in 2102 because they did not like the enuironment on the Earth. They came to Mars in a spacecraft.

    hen I mas little,my parents told me that should not take off my boots because they help keep us on the groundf lue take them off,the weak grauity Luill pull us off the ground.

    When  haue to eat pills because food from the Earth is uery expensiue here. I loue the stramberry pills. My parents told me that real strawberries taste better,but they could not bring them to Mars. They like taking pills Luith different tastes because they used to eat different kinds of food at one meal luhen they mere liuing on the Earth.

    Euery day,learn neui things from my e-teacher. He is a robot,but he knoiiis the ansiuers to all my questions. Sometimes he helps me send emails to my relatiues on the Earth uia the interplanetary netiuork.
