(from Elementary Lessons in Physical Geography by Sir Archibald Geikie, 1912) Read the passage carefully and then choose the correct answer.

17. By the term Water-vapour, or Aqueous vapour, is meant the invisible steam always present in the air. Every one is familiar with the fact, that when water is heated it passes into an invisible vapour or gas, which becomes dissolved in the air. A vessel of water, for instance, may be placed on a table in the middle of a room, heated by means of a spirit lamp till it boils, and kept boiling till the water is entirely driven off into vapour or evaporated. The air in the room shows no visible change, though it has had all this water-vapour added to it. But it may be easily made to yield back some of the vapour. Let an ice-cold piece of glass, metal, or other solid substance be brought into the room. Though perfectly dry before, its surface instantly grows dim and damp. And if it is large and thick enough to require some minutes to get as warm as the air in the room, the dimness or mist on its surface will pass into trickling drops of water. The air is chilled by the cold glass, and gives up some of its moisture. Cold air cannot retain so much diffused vapour as warm air, so that the capacity of the air for vapour is regulated by its temperature.

Will anyone be able to check for grammatical errors and give an opinion on the essay itself? write about the following topic: some people believe that allowing children to make their own cholces on everyday matters (such as food, clothes and entertainment) is likely to result in a society of individuals who only think about their own wishes. other people believe that it is important for children to make decisions about matters that affect them. discuss both these views and give your own opinion. —— nowadays, in this busy and fast developing world teaching children from an early age to cope with their own decisions (such as food, clothes etc.) and then take the coincidences after that is something that a lot of people believe that it is important for them. on the other hand other people think that it might end up in a society of humans who put their wishes before anyone else's. but which one of these views will predominate? firstly, the people who allow their children to make their own decisions are the people who everyone should look up to. it is important to let your children learn from the mistakes their make. the parents can not be with them all the time every day and for that reason, teaching them to deal with their decisons or even problems will them in the future. of course, there are always disadvantages such as some people may really forget about that their children will need them at a certain point in life and may loose connection whit them. but that is why it should have that moderately path, where kids will make their own decisions but will feel comfortable to always ask for a advice tueur parents. on the other hand, there are and the second type of parents which think that too much individualism is not good. it really depends on the parents how they will teach their children to carry on with the independence they have. a lot of them might forget that they are still kids and will need and advices from time to time and because of that the parents turn their kids in individuals who only think about their own wishes due to the fact that they are let on their own and have to cope with everyone and everything by themselves. in conclusion, i think that the best decision someone can make is to look up to the first type of parents. that way they will be able to train their children to become independent people who will respect the wishes of others and they will be able to cope with their decisions in the future when they need it.
