Revise a water explanation for an imaginary younger visitor, retaining correct process meaning and one useful limit.

Try it

Choose an imaginary younger visitor and one ordinary water explanation.
Save the first version, shorten it, then check that the process direction and one useful limit remain clear.
Check the product and say why you kept or changed one part. Tell or show it in your usual way: words, drawing, pointing, signing, typing, dictation or your communication device. Work quietly or privately, pause, ask for a helper, or return later. Sharing and recording are optional.

Grown-up help

**Look for:** Explain why the shorter wording serves that audience; spelling/detail quantity are not the science criterion. **Next help:** If shortening removed the process meaning, restore the start-state, process and end-state before deciding which other words can go.
