My favourite hobby
Hobbies are what we do in leisure for our pleasure. I read books and newspapers, watch TV, listen to songs and collect stamps and picture postcards. I like to travel also.
But my favourite hobby is practising the Japanese martial art of Karate.
Karate helps to develop our mind and body. Actions in Karate make our muscles and joints strong. My master – Shihan H. R. S. Jayakody says that fighting comes last in the list of benefits. It is because we use Karate for
self-defence and not to attack anyone. Karate helps me to study well as it improves my concentration.
I feel very happy and calm when I practise Karate.

My trip to Ella
On April 19, we went on a trip to Ella.
I was so excited when I woke up. My family and I got dressed and went to pick up my grandparents. Then we set off to Ella.
On the way we stopped to eat our breakfast and went to see a gem mine in Ratnapura. Next we went to see the Nine Arch Bridge in Demodara. On the way to our bungalow we met our cousins. Afterwards we stopped for lunch and went to our bungalow. It was very beautiful. Then we played and had our dinner and went to sleep.
The next morning we ate our breakfast and went to see a few places like Ravana Ella and Buduruwagala Temple. Next our family went to eat in a fancy restaurant. After a while we retreated to our bungalow and played. That night we had a barbeque dinner. Tired after a long day, we went to sleep.
The next day we sadly left the bungalow. we went to see Lipton Seat. It was a bumpy ride. Finally the trip came to an end and we all went home. It was a fun trip.

Our school sportsmeet
Our school sportsmeet was held on March 28, 2019. Member of Parliament Mrs. Hirunika Premachandra was our chief guest. The sportsmeet started at 10 a. m., with a memorable and colourful ceremony. First of all the 100 m race was held and relays followed.
After the races were over, there was a drill display. It was a very
eye-catching event. The last event of the sportsmeet was the teachers’ hurdles. It was very exciting. The audience cheered and participated in our sportsmeet. It was an unforgettable day in my life.

The deadly monster
Many shiny, glistering, sharp teeth snapping hungrily
Two spiked, beady, glaring eyes staring tightly
Many pointy, sharp, triangular claws scratching angrily
Two sweaty, greenish, nasal cavities smelling wickedly
One thorny, triangular, fractious tail keeping steadily
Two black, hairy, thick eyebrows moving hastily
One enormous stinky mouth, watering greedily
A huge monster is on its way to catch its prey
