The Sunday Times - Kids World

During my April holidays my parents took us to a wonderful place. That was, Disneyland, in Hong Kong. It was amazing. There were characters like Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and many others. They were walking and talking with us. They were very friendly. We took photographs with them. There was a train going around Disneyland. It took us to any place in Disneyland, where we wanted.

Next we saw the parade. There were decorated trucks. They were full of music and dances. We went around the merry-go-round and other rides such as Honey pot and Jumbo the elephant. We had so much of fun. We went to see shows like Golden Monkeys, Lion King and a 3D Film.

After that in the night around 8.00 there was the fireworks. It had lovely fireworks in many colours and different types. We could not take our eyes away from that.

Our trip to Disneyland was like a dream come true for me and my sister.

Sports are loved by everybody. There are various sports. Some of them are cricket, football, netball, volleyball and athletics. Every sport has its own rules.

Sports are important in many ways. They keep bodies strong and healthy. When we do sports, we learn to work as a team and also learn to help others.

People do sports to relax and for encouragement. But some take it as their profession.

We, small children must participate in sports.

Rough winds and rivers
Overflow with fury
Breaking huts and
mansions
Not knowing any
difference.

Nature is tedious
When you make it hideous
Overflow the rivers
Covering all the moors.

Calm seas get rough
Cool breeze runs wild
Green grass goes dry
Leaving sand behind.
