I invented a new planet called Oxygeno. If you travel across the universe,
you can see it. It’s very interesting because it has mountains and oceans just
like Earth.
The weather is similar to Earth’s, too. When it rains, the water goes down the mountains into
very big rivers. If it rains a lot, the water forms lakes. Water means that there could be life!
But the weather on Oxygeno is extreme. When it’s hot, it doesn’t rain for months, and the
rivers and lakes dry up. So maybe there isn’t life on Oxygeno.

1 If you travel across the universe, a you can see mountains and oceans.

2 When you look at Oxygeno, b the lakes are full.

3 When you compare the weather c there probably isn’t life

on Earth and Oxygeno, on Oxygeno.

4 If there’s a lot of rain, d you can see the new planet.

5 When it’s hot, e it’s similar.

6 If you think about it, f it doesn’t rain a lot. 5 20
