If I came across aliens, I would be startled initially; however, I would try to befriend them later. Apart from asking them about their daily habits and communication techniques, I would be keen to understand deeper aspects, such as their ability to experience emotions. I would be curious to know if they felt grief, excitement, love and empathy. I would ask them about their history, evolution and civilisation. Another interesting thing I would like to understand is how they measure time. I would ask them whether they use units, such as minutes and hours, like us. Additionally, I would want to know if their planet has countries and whether they experience threats such as wars and AI.

Based on the movies I have watched, I think aliens have quite a weird appearance and that’s why I would probably be terrified if I encountered them. However, I would be filled with curiosity and would have numerous questions for them. I would ask them what a day in their life looks like. I would also like to understand more about the language they speak, their cuisine, their cooking methods and their technology. I would also want to know if elements like festivals and sports form part of their culture. I would make the most of the unforgettable encounter.

Firstly, I would want to know how the aliens understand our language. I would be curious to know the distance they covered to reach Earth and the type of fuel they used to make their journey possible. I would find out if they consume food like us or need some other resources to sustain them. Additionally, I would ask them if they know of other planets that host life. I would be happy to educate the aliens about our way of life and share some of my knowledge with them. As I am good at art, I would love to teach them drawing.

If I encountered aliens, I would be eager to get to know more about them. I would ask them many questions about their planet and would also want to know what technology they employed to reach here. I believe learning about this advanced technology would aid humans on missions. I would also like to know the reason behind the aliens’ visit. I would click numerous pictures with them to remember this unique encounter. I would teach them many things, including cricket.

Meeting aliens would be an exciting experience for me. I would be curious to understand their lifestyle and facts about their planet and would like to explore their culture. I would ask them if they face issues such as climate change and pollution that humans struggle with and if they have developed methods to tackle these matters. I would also be interested to learn about the technology they use on their planet and how they built their spaceship. I would be happy to take a ride in their spaceship if they allowed me. I believe acquiring knowledge from them could provide us with new perspectives and improve the lives of everyone on Earth.

I would ask the aliens if they travelled from the moon, Mars or some other planet. I would want to know about their daily life and whether their lifestyle is like ours. I would love to know whether they live with their family members like us and would be happy to meet their family. I would ask if they visited our planet in search of resources or a job. I would also like to learn about how they grow and consume food and the kind of food they eat.
ACTIVITY: A New Language
Imagine this: A couple of aliens have landed near your home and you can suddenly understand their language. Make up 5 words in the aliens’ language along with their meaning.
