<P style="TEXT-INDENT: 21pt; LAYOUT-GRID-MODE: char"><SPAN style="COLOR: black">Sometimes soil is blown away by strong winds. When the soil is carried away by water or wind, we say that the land is eroded .This is known as soil erosion.</SPAN></P>

<P>        Do you have bright ideas? Do you have ideas for inventions that change society or, at least, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we don’t often make the idea a reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encouraged .young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups in the contest: Group One was for schoolchildren under 16; Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16. And there were eleven prize-winners altogether.</P>
<P>       Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was called “Sunshine Superman” by one newspaper writing about his design. It’s important when people study the weather to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Neil’s is more accurate and this is very important for research into way of using solar power. With his prize of 100 pounds, Neil plans to carry on inventing.</P>
<P>       You can do so much with animation. Look at Simon West’s idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them. This isn’t a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on road signs. “We found that people were more likely to see moving signs”, said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, trains moving, horses galloping or a car falling over the edge of a cliff. Quite a warning!</P>
<P>       The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesn’t ask more schoolchildren for suggestions. Perhaps this will be the start of “pupil power”! </P>

It is natural that old people adore their grandchildren, but it is not normal that this adoration should go so far as to create little<U> emperors</U> and <U>empresses</U>. Such adoration has a negative effect on the children’s personalities and moral standards. </SPAN></P>

First, parents and grandparents should understand that their task is to train the children to become both self-controlled and self-reliant. Second, young parents should cooperate with the old instead of leaving the grandparents entirely responsible to raise the children. And third, they should allow the children to be more independent. </SPAN></P>
