My Lego
I have a lot of Lego to play with. My favourite Lego series is Lego Friends. I got it from
my mother and father for my birthday. I make a lot of different things with my Lego.
I like to go for Lego days and make things because they have a lot of pieces that I don’t have at home.
My brother also has a lot of Lego.
We put all our Lego sets together to make creative things like shopping malls and police arcades.

The person who inspires me most
A person who has inspired you means a person you can trust because of his or her experience or guidance, is a role model or may be the person you go to during hardships.
Taking this point to heart, I also have a person who inspires me; my grandmother. My grandmother is the person who has inspired me the most. From her experiences and inspiration I have learned how to first please God and my family and also not to bother about things I lack and also how to go through hardships without failing, mainly by talking to her and not being discouraged. I also learnt how to accept all kinds of people throughout my lifetime, people who may be poor or rich, wise or humble. I’ve learnt how to maintain and to spend my life so far without any hatred.
The most important thing I learnt from her is to work hard for success because as a daughter you have a lot of people expecting a lot from you because they love you. From all the inspirations from her so far, I’ve been able to live my life very happily and also gain a lot of friends.
Lastly it’s really good to have a person who inspires you because we don’t spend our lives alone, and as I am my grandmother’s granddaughter,
I hope to learn from her, whom I love the most.

The value of sports
Sports are useful for our life. There are many advantages in doing sports. This helps to develop our personalities and also make our body strong and healthy.
This in turn helps to keep our mind healthy.
The person who is involved in sports is mentally and physically well developed. Sports teach us both defeat and victory in the same spirit. A sportsman is generally improved in some special qualities such as patience, courage and a sense of responsibility. All these qualities are helpful to go to a good society. We can get an opportunity to share our experience with other players. We also learn to appreciate others when we do sports.
Sports have other advantages also. Sport activities will make us active and creative. When we do international sports activities we can go to other countries. We can know about that country. When we do a job, having sports could be added as a qualification. It will also help to meet great sportsmen and women and get good advice.
These are some advantages and value of sports.

The fascinating Taj Mahal
In this world there are many famous places. Among these places Taj Mahal is one of the most famous buildings in the world. This fascinating Taj Mahal is situated in North India near Agra in New Delhi. Emperor Shah Jahan is the creator of this tomb and he spent most of his time supervising the work of this magnificent tomb which was built in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal.
Taj Mahal is a place which attracts many visitors. Many people visit Taj Mahal to spend a relaxing time walking through the cool breeze which blows across the area. Taj Mahal is very beautiful and the main building is surrounded by a vast area of greenery. Everyone can experience a splendid sunset from the banks of the Yamuna River which is not far from Taj Mahal. I’m sure that everyone in this world dreams about a visit to the heavenly paradise Taj Mahal someday in their lifetime.

Hillwood College
My school is Hillwood College. It is one of the best girls’ schools in Kandy. Our school has a long history. It was founded in 1890 by Rev. Ireland Jones. The first principal was a British lady named Miss Bellerby. Then came many more principals and our first
Sri Lankan principal was Mrs. Soma Samarasinghe.
The present principal of Hillwood College is Mrs. Nelum
De Alwis. Our principal, two vice-principals and the Primary School headmistress are a great support to the school. This year
we celebrated the school’s 126th Anniversary. Our school is divided into two sections, namely Primary section and Upper section. The three school houses are Ireland Jones, Bellerby and Naish.
About 2,000 children are educated at Hillwood. I am happy to study in a school with many curricular activities and sports. Our school is very famous for sports, drama, speech, dancing and singing. Hillwoodians are blessed to have a school with lots of educational facilities, love and care given by teachers to make independent people in the society when they grow up. I am very pleased to be one of those children learning at Hillwood College and I wish that our harvest may be stored for the coming years and that we will be capable to display our best work to ‘The Utmost for the Highest.’
