I got a mobile phone as a birthday present last month. Most of my friends have had one for ages. My mother does not approve of mobile phones. She goes to work by bus and she says that she is always being disturbed by people talking on mobile phones. This is certainly a bad point
We rely on several members of community to make life better or safer for us. When we think of such people we usually think of doctors, nurses and fire fighters. We forget about the people who collect the rubbish. Yet sweepers are essential to the community. They come round regularly in their lorries to empty
I usually walk to school. The quickest route is through the park. The walk takes me about fifteen minutes. I pass the children’s play park first. There were a lot of young children on the swings this morning. There were also some playing in the sand pit. It was only 7.00 am. The children must

I shall never forget the hotel my parents and I stayed in the last summer. It was quite small, hot and uncomfortable. The worst thing about the hotel was the lift. It was tiny. There was only one for the whole of the hotel. We were on the fifth floor. It was a long way
Most of the time I do things which I enjoy. I quite like the things I do at school and I have fun with my friends after school. Unfortunately, I sometimes have to do things which I hate. The things I hate most is cleaning my bedroom. My mother makes me clean it up when
Last night we were having dinner in the kitchen when the lights suddenly went off. It was very dark. We stumbled about. I fell over the dog and hurt my leg. Mum had torch. Dad used it to look for candles. He tripped over a chair and banged his elbow. He found candles on the
I like winter the most. One of the things I enjoy about winter is Christmas. I love getting presents and I love giving them. We always have delicious food on Christmas Day and we have crackers. I like winter because it sometimes snows. I like to see winter snowflakes falling to the ground. They look
It was my ninth birthday yesterday. There was a pile of cards and parcels on the breakfast table. They were mostly from members of my family. I knew that my friends would all bring their cards and presents in person to my birthday party in the afternoon. Both my paternal and maternal grandparents had sent
I had a dreadful nightmare last night. I woke up screaming. Mum came into my bedroom to comfort me. In my dream I was walking along a beach alone. I came across some caves and I went into one of them. It was a large cave and I kept on going into it. It got
