Wet pearls from the heavens fall,
As if nature's gentle call.
Thirst - parched lands it does befriend,
Each drop a hope that won't end.
Rushing streams that never halt,
Bringing life, their journey exalt.

The Magic of Water and Reading Skills
Water is a truly amazing substance that plays a crucial role in our lives and the world around us. It is essential for all living things. Just like plants need water to grow tall and strong, animals rely on it to quench their thirst and stay healthy. Humans use water in countless ways every day. At home, it is used for cooking delicious meals, doing laundry to keep our clothes clean, and cleaning the house to maintain a tidy environment. Outside, we can enjoy water - based activities such as swimming in the pool for exercise or taking a boat trip on the river for fun.
The water cycle is another fascinating aspect of water. When the sun shines brightly, water on the earth's surface, like in the oceans, lakes, and rivers, slowly evaporates and rises into the sky. As it goes up, it cools down and forms clouds. These clouds then release water in the form of rain or snow,

which falls back to the ground. The rainwater flows into rivers, which carry it back to the oceans, starting the cycle all over again.
Now, let's talk about how reading skills can help us better understand all these about water. When we read a text about water, we can use the skill of identifying the main idea and details. For example, in a passage about the uses of water, the main idea might be "Water has many important uses in daily life", and the details could be the specific activities like cooking, washing, etc. Also, the visualization strategy is very useful. While reading about the water cycle, we can try to make pictures in our minds of water evaporating, forming clouds, and then falling as rain. This helps us remember and understand the process more clearly.
