mentioned above, most learners in literate societies begin their formal literacy education in their
first language when they start school at about the age of five. However, most second language
learners do not begin to learn literacy in a second language until they are older than this
(Hammond & Derewianka 1999,p.30). some may be studying a second language at school or
university while living in their own culture. Others may have migrated to a new culture where they
must learn a second language in order to participate in the adopted society.

Taking care of the keyboard

The keyboard is a roburts device used for inputting data on to your computer. As you type in
information small letters are sent via the cable to the inside of the machine where they are
organized into the words that you see. Keep your cable straight.
 It is important that the keyboard cable has no kinks or that no object is placed on the cable to
restrict the flow of letters to the machine. Care also must be taken that letters with sharp point do
not become snared in the cable.
X’s and Z’s are the most common letters to be snared, and the result will be words appearing on
the screen with these letters missing. O’s and D’s move the easiest through the cable.
To best take care of your keyboard cable stretch it out and straighten the kinks frequently. Letters
are snared most frequently where the cable enters the machine, so be sure to straighten that
section of cable on a weekly basis.
Be aware that any spelling mistakes may be the result of letters stuck in the cable rather than
dyslexic fingers. Letters caught in the cable decay away quickly once the machine is turned off,
so no lasting damage occurs in the buildup of snared letters.

Location and habitat

The Giant Austarlian Cuttlefish (Sepia apama) is found in waters from less than a metre deep to
probably around 100 m off Southern and eastern Australia.
Description
Australian Giant Cuttlefish (a solitary creature) is by far the biggest type of cuttlefish growing up
to a length of 1 meter and up to 3 kg. They have a big flat broad head with 2 large eyes with 8
tentacles (arms) and 2extendable feeding tentacles emerging from this head. The 2 feeding
tentacles which are used for feeding retract into pouches between the bases of the third and
fourth arm pairs. Along their sides they have thin fins.
It breathes like fish through gils.
Internally they have a spongy chalk like internal shell (cuttlebone) whice gives the body its shape.
The cuttlefish has three hearts, which pumps blue blood

Movement
Slow movement is obtained by using its thin fins located along their sides. Propulsion is
increased by using jets of water squirted out from a funnel. Australian Giant Cuttlefish swim eith
their tentacles close to their body, and cuttlefish regulate their buoyancy by pumping water in and
out of the gas filled cuttlebone to change the volume (and thus buoyancy) of the gas to enable
them to maintain the depth they wish.

Defense
Cuttlefish have the ability to change their colour to match their background, even the texture of its
skin to be more like sand or seaweed and can push up fingers of soft skin to impersonate the
shape of seaweeds or rubble.
They can also eject ink from ank ink sack just like an octopus to confus and disorientate enemies
so it can escape.

Feeding
They actively forage amongst seaweeds and sea grasses catshing shrimp, fish, prawns, crabs
and other crustaceans. They use their 2 extendable feeding tentacles to snatch their catch, which
is then mashed up by a hard “beak” (jaws).

Breeding
Individuals breed from April to July. This is the time they come closer to the surface and thus can
be observed A courting and mateship dance ends up with the male and female entwining their
tentacles together. The eggs (hundreds)are then laid a short time later often in litle coral caves or
on rocky reefs further south. The eggs take a couple of months to hatch.
