unLiMitEd fun The day was hot, sunny and tiring. But nothing could keep these kids from happiness. As if a gift from God himself, they found a muddy puddle, and jumped right in! Watching them made it seem like there was no playground in the world that can beat their tiny puddle. But after you joined them, no playground could!

WriTinG TiPS

Nothing helps you write better than reading books. Every book is written in a different way. Different styles and words are used to describe things, which help you learn to be much more creative with your writings.

Start with story books. We all know school text books are...well, boring! Here’s a tip, you can only become more creative with your stories when you read creative stories yourself. Go through them, and mix it up, make

your own world, and write them in your style.

Okay, you may think that good essays have hard words and difficult sentences that force you to take a look in the dictionary. Actually, no. The best language is the easiest language. Why? The point is to make the people who read your writings understand what’s happening easily. Using simple language makes that possible, and very enjoyable to read as well!

rEad bEforE you writE, and tHEn rEad again!

a sMiLEIt was a very tiring day. The long traffic made it even worse. I was playing Temple Run and listening to music. I lost the game and pressed “Try Again.” I looked around and that’s when I saw her.

She was an old lady of around 50 years old. She sat on the footpath without saying anything. There was a bowl in front of her. Many people passed by without noticing her. She looked very tired. I asked my driver to wait for me and got out of the car. I walked towards her and took out the emergency money my mother gave me. It was only Tk20 but the smile she gave me when I put it into her bowl was something I will never forget. anika Jannat

What you’ll need?• A jar• A chicken bone• Vinegar

What to do?Take a chicken bone and wash it properly with water. Make sure the bone does not have any meat on it. Fill the jar with vinegar and dip the bone into it. Take the bone out after three days. The bone will not be as hard as it was earlier. The bone will be more like a rubber now.

Calcium makes bones strong. When it was dipped in vinegar, the calcium melted away making the bone softer. Now you know why your mother forces you to drink milk (full of calcium) everyday! anika Jannat

MagicaL tootHpickWhat you’ll need?• A tinfoil pan• Water• Six flat wooden toothpicks• Liquid dishwashing soap

What to do?Before you begin your tricks, take one of the toothpicks and dip it into dishwashing soap. Clean your pan properly and fill it with water. You are good to go now.

Place your soapless toothpicks in the shape of a pentagon on top of the water. Start acting like you are saying out spells. Dip the toothpick in the centre of the pentagon and watch the five toothpicks fly away. If your audiences seem doubtful then hand them the same toothpick and ask them to do the same. They will fail. anika Jannat
