One of the ways to make a product known is through advertisements. An advertiser used the media of the radio, television, newspapers, internet and even posters. Beautiful girls, handsome boys, children and babies are popularly used for advertisements.
What would a newspaper be like without these beautiful advertisements? Besides, how would the customer know the new product, their values and its price without advertisements? In fact it improves our knowledge on various products from medicine to fashion from a wide range. It even helps when selecting a marriage partner. So an advertiser should be fair in advertising his products and give the customer a good deal.

I feel happy when the sun shines and I can see the rainbow.

Grandma’s Tooth
I have a grandma whom I call ‘Archchie’.
She had one tooth. Some years ago she lost that tooth. The funny thing was, she never even felt it shaking before!
When it fell, she was talking to my aunt about some problems. The tooth loosened
and came out. When my grandma realized it she was very sad. She told me about it very sadly. I laughed! Poor Granny!
But although I laughed, I felt and still feel very sorry to see her struggling without it. Even if she wants to eat carrots, she can’t eat it unless she grates
it up.

Caring for elders
Who are elders? Where do they come from? Were they born as elders?
All the elders were once like us… children. They too had a playful childhood. They too had ambitions, as you and I have now. Over time they have grown old but most of them have done an immense service to the society.
An elderly person we see on the street could be a retired teacher who has opened the eyes of thousands of children; or a retired doctor who has cured thousands of sick people. He could be a farmer, a clerk, a soldier, an engineer, a driver, a nurse, a factory worker and so forth. The list is endless. He or she may have grandchildren like us.
Sometimes we treat elders in not so nice ways. We tend to ignore them, ridicule them and even treat them cruelly. When we do that, they feel sad. They feel helpless. At such times they remember their youthful age. Most of them have nobody to discuss their plight. So they can only shed tears. On the other hand, when they realize that we care for them, they feel very happy and content. Can we buy this happiness? No it is priceless.
There are numerous ways we can make them happy. Be helpful, be respectful and above all be kind. They need our love and care. They need a feeling of security. They just need to be a part of the stream of social life that is flowing on and on around them.
Remember that you and I too will grow old and we too will feel the same. It is inevitable.

My favourite author
My favourite author is
Enid Blyton. She is a female author. Her books are focused for young children and teenagers. I like to read Enid Blyton books because her stories are attractive and fun to read. And also she is good in writing fiction and fantasy stories. The books which I like most are the Naughtiest Girl series, Secret Seven series, Famous Five, Malory Towers
and many more.
Enid Blyton is very creative and has good imagination. Her stories are fascinating and grab the reader’s attention. By reading Enid Blyton’s books my reading skills will increase as well as my imagination. Some of her stories tell us a moral which can help us. I love Enid Blyton the most from all the authors.
