Basil is a herb that is often used in Italian or Thai food. Sweet basil is used in Italian food and Thai basil is used in Asian food. Basil has a sweet, strong smell.
Basil likes to grow in hot, dry conditions and does not tolerate frost at all. Basil stops producing the oil that gives it its flavour once it starts to flower, so you should pick off the flowers as they develop. You can leave one or two stems to flower without affecting the rest of the plant, so you have some seeds for next year.

A drill is a small machine you hold in your hand. You use it to drill holes in things, or to screw things together or unscrew them. You can change what you can do with a drill by changing the bit that spins around at the end of the drill. Most drill bits are just a thin, sharp rod that spins around to make holes, but some bits are the same as the end of a screwdriver that you can use on different sized screws.
