Alien Explanation

If an alien came down to Earth from another planet he would probably be very confused by a lot of things he would find here. Look around your house. There are a lot of things in your house that would confuse an alien. You probably take a lot of these things for granted. Things like a television, a games console, a computer, a vacuum cleaner, and a washing machine would probably be unknown to the alien.
Imagine an alien did land on Earth and that you made friends with it. Choose an item from the list above, or use an idea of your own, and explain what it is to the alien. Write your explanation down. Think about what the thing is used for, how you use it and how it works.


Remember to read through your work carefully before you post and check for spelling and punctuation errors.

  2. Yesterday night I was sleeping on my bed when all of a sudden I heard a sound coming from down stairs. It wasn’t right to go down stairs because I have to wake up 5 am in the morning. Don’t worry I will explain later.
    As I went down stairs I felt a bit scared but I didn’t give up. I saw a space ship out of the window. Now that was really weird. I was about to call my dad but I couldn’t then he will know I was awake all this time.
    The noise was mostly coming from the garden. I was stepping into the garden. This was a very tense moment.
    “HE HO YOUNG FELLA!” Shouted the alien.
    I said HI back but still I didn’t know way I didn’t scream. I usually scream when I see a picture but now I am seeing it live WOW!!!
    “MAY I COME IN I AM EXREAMLY SLEEPY “Said the very GREN ALIEN!
    Meanwhile I was making his bed he was busy exploring the house.
    “So what do you think of my house” I said.
    “VERY BOOD VERY BOOG” Exclaimed the alien.
    “You mean GOOD” I said!
    The next minute I look at him his inside a washing machine. What on earth are you doing. Get out of there.
    “BUT WHY I AM DURTY SO I SAW A HOLE AND WENT IN TO IT AND IT SEEM’S TO HAVE CLEANED ME.”
    NO NO NO!!! You have totally got the wrong idea. This is a washing machine WHERE YOU WASH YOUR CLOTHS WITH!!!
    “OH I AM SORRY WILL NICE MEATING (A LOT) BUT NOW I HAVE TO GO TO WORK. NYE!”
    OH bye green thing!!!

  4. I would be overjoyed and a little nervous if a alien landed on earth. I would invite her to my home and make friends with her. As well as few other things, I would explain what a television was as I enjoy watching it. It is a child's best friend so most of us have it. A television is used to watch channels, cartoons, news and other things.Televisions usually come with a remote control that allows you to select, change and turn on/off. Adults like watching movies and other things on television too. You can also download apps such as Youtube, Netflix and others. It is electronic but it does not need to charge but instead it needs power supply. After explaining I bet that she’ll be as keen to watch television as me!!

  6. My item is an air fryer. So all you need to do to make an air fryer works is plug it on and set how many minuets you want it to be at. Once you have set up the minuets then it will turn of by it self or you can turn it of yourself. You use them as a toaster or oven but never open it when it is on.

  9. "Zax, come out of the closet. Don't be afraid, it's only a dyson ball vacuum. It is used to lift dirt from carpets, rugs and hard flooring. It keeps the house dirt free. Come, let me show you how this works. Unwind the cable and plug the dyson into the mains electricity supply. To switch on or off press the red button. To use, recline the handle and vacuum the carpet. After use, return the handle to the upright position and switch off. Then unplug the dyson and coil the cable and put away. Now, don't worry Zax, let me show you around the house."

  11. A kettle is someting used to boil your water. You open the lid and pour some to heat up. It needs electricity so that it works and a plug. Next, you press the ON button. When it turns blue you know it's heating up. After it's been heeting for a short while, very hot steam comes out of the kettle. It tackes about two minutes!

  12. A remote is used to turn electronic devices on and off. Every device has its own remote to control it, you can't use one remote to control all devices. For example, television remote won't turn the cooler on. On a remote you'll find different sizes and different coloured buttons and some buttons are numbered, these buttons are used to control the device. For example, the red button is used to turn the television off and on. There is also a button with a plus and a minus sign to change the volume. Remotes are also used to play video games on the television.

  16. A vacuum cleaner is something everyone should have. Vacuum cleaners are really good because they clean up all the dirt and fluff from off the floor. The vacuum cleaner cleans up quicker than using a dust pan and brush. A vacuum cleaner works by plugging it in and turning it on. Then the bristles start spinning around and air sucks the dirt up. The vacuum cleaner sucks up all the dirt into a small container that you empty into the bin when full. A vacuum cleaner is a lot of help and you should be very pleased if you have one.

  17. If an alien came to me i would teach it how to brush its teeth.
    first you would have to put tooth past on the brush.
    Then you would put it on your teeth then brush it side to side.
    When your done you spray water on your tooth brush.
    And finaly you put water in your moulth and spit it out.

  18. An oven is a spectacular but dangerous thing,you turn it on then it heats up then you can put a food that is raw in the oven.After it heats up you get it cooked.However when you touch it you will get burned and it really hurts.You have to heat it up to a particular number depending on what your product is.

  19. AN ALIEN IN MY HOUSE!
    One night,in our backyard,I heard a
    noise.I went out to check what it was.I saw a round space ship.And
    from space ship,came out a weird creature.An alien!"Oh my God"!,I
    said.Eventhough, I was scared,I ask him,who he was or what is he.The alien just said"bbb la".I didn't understand what he was saying at all.Anyway,I invited him inside our house.He saw our kitchen.I asked him if he wants water.He said some thing that I
    thought he means yes.He smelled the water.I told him to drink,showing how to do it.Then I invited him to the living room.Exactly at that time our phone rang.The alien got scared.I explained to him that we use phones to communicate.So if someone call our house the phone rings to let us hear.I saw that he was so confused.He look around and he was again happy.He wanted to know more things,but he needed to get back to where he came from.He promised to visit me once again and said goodbye.

  20. A tablet is an electric devise that is used for different kinds of things like, games, activates. Also you can watch anything you like and you can do anything you like. But in some- websites there is bad videos and games that you should not watch so you should make shore that you look out for them.

  21. I was a coloured figure glowing outside in my garden while I was playing with my sister. It was wondering around as if it was lost. I went closer and recognised might be an alien so I asked her name, who she was and where she came from? She answered she was an alien who came from another planet and got lost. So I thought I should invite her inside my home so that she gets comfortable with our world. She immediately accepted my offer and came inside my house.
    As soon as she entered my house, she stared all around my home looking at different things as if she saw them for first time in her life. She was baffled to see the Television, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave and all the other gadgets. She asked me various things about all the electronic items and how they work and what they are used for. She was very much thrilled looking at the television in the corner.
    I explained her about the television (TV) that it is electronic equipment which is used for watching visual images with sound telecasted from a radio signal from around the world. The TV works with electricity and radio signals. We can watch favourite channels/programs in a television and I showed her few children’s programs of my choice. She was over joyed with all of the programs and when I showed her how to change the channels with a remote control, she couldn’t stop herself changing the channels and she said she never saw anything like this before.
