View(s):If I could invent something
If could invent something it would be a flying car. Millions of people drive cars on the road everyday and cars are important in everyone’s day-to-day life. It has become a necessity. It would be fun when driving on roads as well as in the sky.
Every child wants to arrive on time to school. But when a long traffic jam prevents you, it breaks your self-promise never to arrive late and it also lowers your image when the teachers yell at you. With flying cars we can reach anywhere on time and also there will be less traffic jams.
Flying cars will be faster than normal cars. It will take half of the time than normal cars to reach the destination. These cars would save a lot of our time. These cars will be specially modified for children. Children above the age of eight would be permitted to drive these flying cars.
My invention would also help Earth as they would be solar–powered, so that there will be no use of fossil fuels and no carbon-dioxide emission.

Mum and Dad
With my own eyes I can see,
Everything they do for me
Who took care of me when I was small?
Put kneepads when I started to crawl?
Who gives the most love, care and affection
and the proper right education?
Who taught me blue from red
And how to dust my bed?
Yes, my parents mean the world to me
They do so much for me, see!
An emerald, a sapphire, a ruby
Mom and Dad are better for me!

Be relaxed without stress
Stress is when you feel under pressure and have too much work to do or too many worries.
Children have stress because of school exams, because of friends or because of problems at home. The problem with stress is that too much of it is bad for your body and your state of mind. Too much of stress can cause us to be depressed. Some occasions which can be stressful are, having too much of work on at the same time, doing badly in school examinations, having problems with friends and being bullied.
Some tips for beating stress are, talking to someone about your problems such as parents, friends, teachers and neighbours, engaging in aesthetic activities such as art, music, dancing, gardening and engaging in yoga exercises. These will help you to beat stress.

An interesting shop
Tomorrow is my little brothers’ birthday. And I don’t know what I can present him. My mother suggested to buy a present from the newly opened magic shop. I don’t like it as it is very old outside. However, I had to because the other shops were closed.
I went to the magic shop and I opened the door. There I saw a short man. He was very different to everybody I saw. Then a grumpy voice came from him. He asked, “Hi, can I help you?” I asked for a good present to give to my brother. He suggested a globe. I asked him whether I could take a look at things in the shop. There were magic mats, hats, brooms etc. Then I saw the magic wand toy. I asked the price. Then he said, “It is 500 rupees.” I paid the money and went home. My brother was excited. Though it’s old, it is very interesting inside.

My first concert
For my first concert I was in Hillwood College Nursery. Then I was four years old. I was very nervous because I had to say the opening prayer. My teacher
Miss. Jean helped me to do it well. Our class did a drama of ‘Princess and the Frog.’ I acted as the king.
There were only a few boys in the Nursery. We did a devil dance taken from a famous stage drama. Everybody enjoyed it. There were other items as well. At the end there was a nativity play. All the children came on stage and sang some carols. We had to practice a lot for the concert but I loved my first concert.
