subject or topic to the reader, such as; Lots of animals like hedgehogs,
badgers and mice hibernate during winter.‘ Next there comes a series of
steps that explain how things happen or the reasons why, such as; This is
because it gets much colder and darker during the winter months.'When it
gets colder, food like berries and insects become harder to find. Therefore,

start to grow again and food is more plentiful. 'These steps continue until the
question has been answered or the explanation is complete.

What makes talk?
Talk is when we have a thought that we put it in to sound. When we
talk we use the words to communicate.
As humans, to be able to talk we need a voice box, lung, tongue,
lips and teeth. If you put your two fingers under your chin and talk
you can feel a vibration. That is because there is air floating pass
making vibrations.
There are two stretchy flaps of skin called vocal cords. When the
vocal cords are tight you make a high sound. When the vocal cords
are loose you make a low sound.
If we didn’t have tongue we wouldn’t able to talk

How is food digested?
The food we eat is broken down and use by our bodies. This
breaking down of food is called digestion.

When you chew your food, digest begins. The food is push by the
tongue to the trapdoor at the back of the throat called the
esophagus. It then move to the stomach when digestive juice make
it smaller. In the small intestine, the goodness is soaked up. Finally
the water is taken out in the large intestines.
The goodness that is left can now be carried around the body by the
blood to be used for energy, repair and growth
