At school, the children were learning about different kinds of weather. When the class went outside to learn about the wind, there were leaves blowing along on the ground. "See how the school flag is flapping and the trees are blowing. Look at the clouds moving across the sky. The wind is blowing from the south today," said the teacher.

在学校里，孩子们正在学习不同种类的天气。 当同学们走到外面去了解风的时候，地上有树叶在吹。 “看，校旗在飘扬，树在随风飘扬。 看云在天空中移动。 今天的风是从南方吹来的，”老师说。

The class made a plan to find out more about the wind. The teacher gave everyone a balloon. The children wrote messages to put inside their balloons. Their message said, "Hello from Hilltop School. We are learning about the wind. When did you get this message? Where did you find it? Please call our school - 555 678 1234."

这个班制定了一个计划来了解更多关于风的知识。 老师给了每个人一个气球。 孩子们把留言写在气球里。 他们的留言是:“山顶学校的你好。 我们正在学习关于风的知识。 你什么时候收到这条信息的? 你在哪里找到的?请致电我们学校- 555 678 1234。”

The children blew up all of the balloons - Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! They tied a string onto each balloon before they let them go outside. Soon there were twenty balloons floating slowly up into the sky. There were ten round, red ones and ten long, yellow ones.

孩子们吹起了所有的气球——噗!泡芙!泡芙!泡芙!他们在每个气球上系上一根绳子，然后让它们出去。 很快就有20个气球慢慢地飘向天空。 有十个圆形的，红色的和十个长黄色的。

The teacher showed the class which way was north and south, and which way was east and west. As the wind blew the balloons far away, she asked, "Which way are they blowing? Why?"

老师指给同学们看哪条路是南北，哪条路是东西。 当风把气球吹得很远的时候，她问:“它们往哪个方向吹?” 为什么?”

After two weeks, the school got a call. A man said, "I have found your balloon. It popped outside my house, so I read the message inside it." He said, "I know a lot about the wind, because I am a weather man. I can help you to learn all about it."

两周后，学校接到了一个电话。 一个人说:“我找到了你的气球。 它突然出现在我的房子外面，所以我读了里面的信息。” 他说:“我很了解风，因为我是个天气预报员。 我可以帮你了解这一切。”
