View(s):School Life
School life is one of the most important phases in the life of a person. It is the period during which one learns the basic principles of behaviour, speech and etiquette.
School life is in fact a period of learning and training in all the aspects of personality of a person. One gets the training for maintaining physical fitness, increasing ones mental powers, learning the proper code of behaviour and understanding the basic concepts of life.
School life is a period for the formation of character, mind and body on sound lines. There may be some students who hold a different view regarding school life. Today as a child attending school I can tell about the experiences I have taken throughout seven years. I will never forget about school life.

My favourite book
I have read many books, but ‘The Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ is the most interesting book I have ever read. It is a comic story. It has many characters like Gregg, Rowley, Rodrick, Mom and Father.
This book is very funny. They fight, play and do many adventurous things. The stories like ‘Dog Days’, ‘Old School’, ‘Rodrick Rules’, ‘Last Straw’ and ‘Movie Diary’ are other Wimpy Kid books. By reading books you can enjoy.

My pet
I have a pet dog. Its name is Bingo. It is brown and white. It likes to eat rice and biscuits. It likes to play with me. When I open its door, it comes running to me. Sometimes it licks me. One day it licked my grandma’s frock. It jumped on my father’s back.
It loves me very much. I too love my Bingo very much.

Home garden
Gardening is growing and cultivating plants. In gardens, ornamental plants are often grown for their flowers, leaves and beautiful appearance.
Useful plants such as root vegetables, leaf vegetables, fruits and herbs are grown to be eaten by us, as dyes or for medicinal or cosmetic uses. Gardening is supposed to be a relaxing activity for people.

My favourite sport
My favourite sport is cricket. I love playing cricket. First I practiced to play soft ball.
Then I practiced to play hard ball.
When I was in Grade 7, I joined the school cricket team. I played about eleven games with the school cricket team. Our school cricket team is a pride for our school as well as for Sri Lanka. Although there were so many sports, I liked to play cricket most. I like to play cricket because the players in the national team of
Sri Lanka are playing cricket well.
According to my mind I think I am a good cricketer. Cricket is a popular sport in Sri Lanka as well as in the world. I wish I will be in the national team of Sri Lanka in the future. Then I will be a good cricketer.

Children and television
Nowadays children’s fascination with the television creates problems for parents. One of them is how much time a child under the age of six, should be allowed to watch television.
Researchers in Russia have come to the conclusion that children under seven should be allowed to watch television no more than thirty minutes a day and no more than three times a week.
Parents should pay attention to the child’s posture in front of the television set. Children often watch television while curling up in a chair or even stretching out on the floor. Bad posture affects the physiological functions of a growing child.
The child should not sit closer than five feet and no further than eighteen feet from the television scene. The room should be dimly lit to overcome the brightness of the shining screen.

Dreams
Everybody sees dreams during sleep. Animals also see dreams. Sometimes I also see dreams. Some dreams are in many colours. Some dreams are cheerful but some are frightening. Some dreams give us messages.
Everybody sees dreams but only some remember them. Some days I forget my dreams in the morning. I like to dream every day. Dreaming is interesting.

A day in the life of a beggar
A day in the life of a beggar is a very fun thing because we do not need to work hard in studies. But it’s very sad because we will not get food to eat at times because beggars do not have much money. The job of the beggar is to beg for money. It is so fun. The main thing in life is working hard in studies and increasing our knowledge. But it’s better to be as a beggar.
A beggar has no hardness, only thing is to beg for money by going to all the other houses.
Begging is a very hard thing.
