Dear diary,
Last Sunday morning, Aunt Emily made an announcement. She told us that she was going to
take us on a cruise! I was very surprised, knowing how expensive a holiday like that could be.
However, we agreed. We aren’t a wealthy family, but we do have a little money put aside, over
the years, which we usually use part of, for vacations.
When the day of departure finally arrived, We were thrilled to see how huge and luxurious the
ship was. Our cruise liner sailed distinguishly out to sea, as our holiday began.
What a disappointment! There was so little to do on board. The boredom almost drove us mad.
We visited several ports, but we didn’t have the freedom to do what wanted to. Furthermore, we

Last week my friend and I were bored after three weeks of holidays, so we rode our bikes to
Smith Beach, which is only five kilometers from where I live. When we arrived at the beach, we
were surprised to see there was hardly anyone there. After having a quick dip in the ocean, which
was really cold, we realized one reason there were not many people there. It was also quite
windy.
After we bought some hot chips at the takeaway store nearby, we rode our bikes down the beach
for a while, on the hard, damp part of the sand. We had the wind behind us and, before we knew
it, we were many miles down the beach. Before we made the long trip back, we decided to
paddle our feet in the water for a while, and then sit down for a rest. While we were sitting on the
beach, just chatting, it suddenly dawned on us that all the way back, we would be riding into the
strong wind.
When we finally made it back home, we were both totally exhausted! But we learned some good
lessons that day.
On Saturday, we saw the Three Sisters and we went on the scenic railway. It was scary. Then,
Mom and I went shopping with Della. We went to some antique shops and I tried on some old
hats. On Sunday, we went on the scenic Skyway and it rocked. We saw cockatoos having
shower.

James Watt was a great Scottish engineer of the 18th century. He did not actually invent the
steam engine. Instead, he
Improved it. A man named Thomas Savery invented the first primitive steam engine in 1698. A
man named Newcomen started making steam engines to pump water from mines in 1712.
However , Watt is famous for inventing an improved version in 1769.
James Watt was born in Greenock on January 19, 1736. Hs father, also called James, was
shipbuilder. As a boy Watt attend the local grammar school where he studied classics and
mathematics. The young Watt also liked making models.
Eventually, watt decided to become a maker of mathematical instruments, such as quadrants and
compasses. In 1755 he went to London, but only lived there for two years before moving to
Glasgow.
In 1964 Watt improved on a model of a Newcomen steam engine. In the Newcomen`s the steam
was pushed into a cylinder, then condensed back into water. A year later Watt realised it would
be more efficient to condense the steam in another chamber separate from the cylinder.
However , it was not until 1769 that Watt patented his knew idea, the separate condenser.
In 1766 Watt landed a job as a land surveyor marking out land for canals and eight years later he
moved to Birmingham. In 1775 he went into partnership with MatthewBoulton and began
making steam engines which were used for pumping water out of mines.
By 1780 the Industrial Revolution was beginning to transform life in Britain and Watt adapted
his steam engines to provide a rotary motion so they could be used to power machines in new
factories. In 1781 he used the sun and planet gear to do this and four years later, steam engines
were used to power machines in cotton mills for the first time.
Meanwhile, in 1782 Watt invented another major improvement, the double-acting steam engine.
In 1788 he invented the fly ball governor to regulate the speed of steam engines and a pressure
gauge in 1790.
In 1785 Watt was elected a fellow of the royal society and he retired from business in 1800.
James Watt died on August 25, 1819 and was buried in Birmingham. Finally, in 1882 a unit of
electrical power was named the watt his honor.
