My favourite food

Under 8 years

My favourite food is biscuit pudding. The biscuit pudding is brown in colour. My mother can make biscuit pudding.

We need biscuits, milk and icing sugar. First put the biscuits into the milk and put a layer of icing and put layer of biscuits and icing several times. Then put it in the fridge.

After a meal we can eat the pudding. Children like to eat the pudding. It is tasty and sweet. My sister's favourite food is also biscuit pudding.

When visitors come, my mother makes biscuit pudding. We can decorate the pudding with pebbles and smarties.

A visit to a circus

With a blast of music, and a fan of balloons,
All the performers enter the sawdust ring.
As people cheer and jump in the aisles,
And the songs and chants they sing!

The trapeze artistes swoop and dive,
As the open-mouthed audience gape,
At the lions and tigers with their ferocious snarls,
And their trainer, with his glittering cape.

Then the clowns come
followed by the acrobats,
And the ringmaster himself, in all his glory,
But then, finally, the circus ends,
And everyone leaves; but that's another story!

Where I would take a visitor in my town

12 - 14 years

If a visitor came to my town, first I would take him to my home and let him rest for some time. I would treat him with a sweet king coconut plucked from my garden.

Then I would take him to visit our village temple. I think he would like to listen to the sounds of the 'Bo' leaves dancing in the wind. Before lunch I would take him to our village tank. There he would be able to enjoy a cool bath. If he had his camera, he could catch some beautiful photographs.

In the afternoon, I would take my visitor to our village rock with my nice snake shaped kite. We would fly my kite high up in the sky. These are the places I would like to take any visitor who visited my town.

My favourite quote from the Harry Potter books

Quotes are words of wisdom. Wisdom goes beyond human intelligence and power. Quotes summarises incredibly great things in few words. We can talk about a quote for many days, that's what I exactly think about quotes.
Well, there are many quotes in the Harry Potter books. Harry Potter is a book in which a lot of imaginary and magical happenings are involved. But not only imagination is involved in this book. There are particular things which also involve reality. These are the quotes.

According to my point of view I fancy a particular quote which I think is the best and worthiest of all quotes. In the book it is said by Albus Dumbledore (the Headmaster of Hogwarts).

Albus Dumbledore said these words in the book Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. This is the quote I was describing, "Differences of habit and language are nothing if our aims are identical and our hearts are open."

In explanation it means that even though we live in different countries, vary in habits we are the same kind. We are all human beings. If we understand each other and have unity and peace within us, we could succeed in our lives and win the hearts of the people in society. We must spread loving kindness to each and every living thing on earth.

These precious words (you may realize) carry a lot of meaning. It is a worthwhile, sincere and serious quote. It gives a vivid expression of life, effective thought or a positive thought of life. It also gives a fundamental idea about life.

So if we all live according to this quote we could live in a peaceful environment.

As a conclusion I would like to state that J. K. Rowling has written one of the best quotes of all quotes.
