View(s):How do people communicate?
In early times, people didn’t have telephones or television so they communicated by sending letters, beating on drums, with the help of smoke signals, sending messengers on horseback etc. They also tied a message with a piece of string on a pigeon’s leg and sent messages that way.
Nowadays, we have many communication methods. They are easier than the earlier methods. Some of them are using telephones, mobile phones, television, Skype, fax and email. We can send messages using satellites too. Arthur C. Clarke first discovered that we can send messages using satellites.

My pet rabbits
It was my Dhamma School’s second semester exam, and the priest told us that I had become second. I was very happy. When I went home I told my parents that I became second and they were very happy too.
As a reward, my parents brought me two pet rabbits. One was white and the other one was black. I named them Fluffy and Snowy. They are very cute. Fluffy ate almost all the plants in the garden. He also tries to come into the house. But Snowy doesn’t want to come inside the house.
They play together most of the time, and they like to play with me too. They hop around the garden all the time. Their cage is painted in green. They don’t like to stay in the cage. I feed them leaves and vegetables. I love my pet rabbits a lot.

My school
My school is Royal College. It is the biggest school in Sri Lanka and perhaps the biggest school in South Asia. However it had humble beginnings. It was foundered in 1835 by Rev. Joseph March. It originally had two buildings, two classes, two teachers and twenty students. The two buildings were the church and the school.
Now the school has progressed and it has many buildings, over 400 teachers and more than
8000 students. There are many sports taught such as cricket, rugby, swimming, badminton, tennis and basketball. There are four computer labs. There are many clubs and societies in my school.
There are five houses in my school. They are Hartley, Harward, Marsh, Boake and Reed. My house is Harward. There are many important events in my school. The annual cricket match known as the
‘Battle of the Blues’ is played against S. Thomas’ College. The annual rugby match played against Trinity College for the ‘Bradby Shield is another such event.
My school has produced many distinguished citizens. I am proud to be a student of this great institution. I love my school very much.

My trip to Wijaya Resort
We went to Wijaya Holiday Resort for a one day outing. We left at 7.30 a.m., and went by bus. We were there around 9.30 a.m. It was the annual trip of my uncle’s office. Over 70 people were the staff and the rest of us were boys. After keeping our bags in our rooms, we headed off to the ground. There we played cricket after dividing the crowd into 5 teams.
There were many natural waterfalls, badminton courts, volleyball courts, pools, streams, trekking and campsites. We had loads of fun in the swimming pool. Then we had the buffet lunch. Then we had games organized by the office. There was parcel passing, lime and spoon and other fun games. The egg passing game was the most fun. We also played in the Kiddies Park and bouncer.
Then we went for a boat ride. After evening tea, we had the prize distribution. By 5.30 p.m., we left in the bus. We were singing and had lots of fun. We reached Colombo around 8 p.m., as we had to drop some staff on the way. Though we were exhausted we were happy with the memorable day we had.
