Remember: Save early and every few minutes. Give the file a clear name, and know which folder it went in.
Read and answer
Read the story, then answer.
The dragon storyKofi typed and typed a dragon story, but he never pressed save, not even once. A gust of wind made the lights blink, and the screen went dark. When the computer woke up, the page was empty. Mama said typed words live on the screen, like writing on a foggy window. If the power goes, the fog clears, but saved work stays in a drawer. So save early, before you write much, and then save again every few minutes. The save button may look like a small square disk. When the computer asked for a name, Kofi typed random letters. Mama said a file needs a name tag, as Maple the dog has one on her collar. Random letters say nothing, but dragon story says exactly what it is. Kofi chose the name dragon story and his Stories folder. Next week he found it in two taps.
