Max, Dad and Eva are having a picnic. They are discussing the pros and cons of smart phones.

Dad: You're not listening to me - you're checking your phones! People don't talk or listen any more - they just check their phones.

Eva: That's not fair! We are listening. You can have a conversation and check your phone at the same time.

Dad: Sorry, but I disagree. It's rude. Smartphones are terrible. They're bad for your eyes and the microwaves can't be good for your brain.

Max: Maybe you're right, but smartphones are really useful for checking information. Train times, for example. Remember when you could only get information at the station? It was a pain in the neck!

Eva: l agree. Smartphones are great. And a phone is more than a phone. It's an alarm clock, an MP3 player, an address book, a camera...

1. The hot-air balloon was the first form of flying that carried people. The first passengers were a sheep, a duck and a chicken! Then a few weeks later, on 21 November 1783 in France, a balloon carried two people.

2. The hot-air balloon uses science in a very easy but clever way. Hot air rises in colder air because it is lighter and less dense, just like the way our body floats on water.

3. The hot-air balloon has three main parts. There is a balloon envelope - this holds the air. At the top, there is a valve. Under the envelope, there is a burner. This uses propane gas to heat the air in the balloon. There is a wicker basket to carry passengers.

4. When the pilot wants the balloon to go higher, he turns up the gas to make the air hotter. To go down, he opens the valve at the top of the balloon. Some hot air leaves the balloon and it goes down.
