Do you think you can communicate (交流) without words?A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying "No". You nod and people know you are saying "Yes".

    People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things.

    Books can tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books,magazines, TV and films all help us to communicate with each other. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.

    What do you know about the sea? Some people have seen it, but others haven't. The sea looks beautiful on a fine sunny day and it can be very rough when there is a strong wind. What other things do we know about it?

    Of course, the sea is very large. In the world there is more sea than land. If you swim in the sea, you know that the water is salty. Rivers take salt from the land into the sea. Some places of the sea are more salty than other places. Do you know the Dead Sea? Fish can't live in it!

    My name is Sally White. I am a school girl. My school is far from my home. Every day it takes long time to get there. The road is not flat. So I cannot go to school by bike. I often go there by bus or on foot. It takes me thirty minutes to get there by bus and an hour on foot. I must get up very early every morning. I have no time for breakfast at home. I often eat something for breakfast on the way. I don't want to be late for school.
