How we can save the environment
Nowadays our environment is at risk. There is smoke in the air, toxic waste in the soil, dirt in the water, etc, but what can we do to save the environment?
Let’s use cars powered by electricity, solar power or hydrogen and we could use things like the water wheel for preventing animals from damaging crops instead of putting insecticide in the soil.We could preserve trees without chopping them down. Let’s not destroy the animals’ homes. That way our environment could become greener, and all species can live longer.

Plants and us
Plants are very important to us because they give us food, they give us shelter and oxygen. When there are no plants in our earth we can’t live because when we want to live we want shelter, food and oxygen. When we want to build a house we need wood. There are so many forests in Sri Lanka but some people are cutting down trees to earn money.
Those people do not care about the value of trees. This is a main reason for environment pollution. We mustn’t cut down trees, we must plant them. Tamarind, Kohomba, Burutha etc., are very valuable trees. These are essential for humans and animals so we must protect them.

My first hiking experience
We had the Scout enrollment for the Scout troop of Royal International School on October 13, 2015. Afterwards we had hike practices. We had a practical test and a theory test for the selecting of the team of our school troop to go to the hike. I was surprised to hear my name in selected team for the hike.
We got an opportunity to participate in the Sampath Ranawaka Memorial Challenge Trophy 2015 organised by Maliyadewa College Kurunegala. On the following day I woke up and I rushed to Maliyadewa College. The members of our Scout troop and our Scout master were there. There were Scouts as well as Girl Guides islandwide. There were about 80 schools participating in the hike. We were registered by our Scout master. We reached the Kadulawa mountain range by buses. It was situated between Ibbagamuwa and Madagalla.
In ancient times the mountain range was used by kings for practicing for his soldiers. It is beautiful and filled with harmless animals. There were plants which are used for medicine. There are plants in this mountain which do not grow anywhere except Kadulawa mountain range.
During the hiking we were asked questions in each check point and in activity points, we were asked to do it. I got the opportunity to meet lots of friends all over the country at this event.We participated in the closing ceremony of Sampath Ranawaka Memorial Challenge Trophy 2015. It was an unforgettable day in my life and a good chance to collect experiences.

Dogs
Dogs have been companions of human beings for thousands of years. Even today, they run with us, play with us and protect our homes. Scientists have found that the true ancestors of present dogs are wolves. Like wolves, dogs too like to live in groups called packs. The leader is called the alpha.
Dogs have split into many species. They are German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Spaniel, Greyhound, Collie etc. Some are called ‘mixed breeds.’ Dogs are family pets as well as used for working, such as for military purposes, for herding animals and to hunt animals. Sometimes when they get angry they bite or attack someone.
We must train dogs and show affection to them. If we love them they pay back double! They lick us or wag their tail when they’re happy. They like to play a lot of games like fetch. The fastest dog is the Greyhound. The fastest record is 45 miles per hour.
Another breed is the German Shepherd which has its origin in Germany in the 20th century. This brave and intelligent dog is used as a police dog too. Every dog can bark except the ‘Basenji.’ It sounds a bit like the yodel.
My favourite animal is the dog since it’s friendly, playful and fantastic. It’s really hard to imagine a world without dogs!
