WALT: find main ideas

** What Happens When You Are Asleep? ** Firstly some people may grind their teeth, suck their thumbs, sleep walk, sleep talk, snore, and pedal their legs. It’s all very embarrassing but you don’t have to worry because it’s all part of life and every one does one or two of them. They will grow out of it.

Secondly your body slows down, your mouth stops making saliva, your heart beats slower, and your breathing slows downs.

As well as that when you sleep you can hear what is going on around you. You would be able to hear the alarm clock or, if you’re like my mother, a baby crying. If you hear anything unusual you would instantly wake up.

Finally while you are sleeping you also dream. Dreaming is when your have a long vision in your head while you are asleep. Nobody knows what their dreams mean. Some people sit with tape recorders and notebooks on their bedside tables. I don’t think our dreams mean anything. They are just there to keep us busy while we are asleep. This is what happens when we are asleep.

This article explains what happens in your sleep

paragraph one is about what kind of things you do when you are asleep

paragraph two: is about how you can still hear when you are asleep paragraph three is about dreaming

=The tape dispenser=

To use a tape dispenser is unbelievably easy. It is a wonderfu l and simple mechanism that holds a roll of tape and dispense it in quantities of your liking.

The contraption is built up of various parts that make it serviceable. Some of the main parts are the jagged metal razor, the plastic body of the dispenser, and the plastic axle in the middle of the body. There is also the foamy grip pad underneath the tape dispenser, which prevents it from sliding and scratching the surface it has been placed on. Some tape dispensers also have sand in the plastic body at the bottom to help weigh it down so it will not slide.

The dispenser is a simple gadget to use. Firstly, the end of the tape should already be stretched onto the razor teeth, so take hold of the tape and tug it gently towards you until it is the length that you require. Be careful not to pull it too hard so you end up with too much tape, and try to avoid cutting your fingers on the metal teeth. Next, pull the tape against the razor in a swift, downwards motion , hence cutting the measure of tape in a straight line. As a result, you can now cut approximate lengths of tape for your work.

As you may or may not already know, a tape dispenser isn’t dependent on electricity or batteries, so it can work anytime, day or night. They are used worldwide in offices, shops, schools, homes, and companies and serve themselves as a reliable working equipment. They’re cheap and can be used to stick objects together, wrap a present, hold a piece of paper or an item to a surface, or even hold items down.

As the world leaps farther into the technology and science of the future, clever effective equipment such as a tape dispenser will surely stay the simple ingenious tool it has been for many more generations.
