How Can we Become Responsible Citizens

This morning I was reading Dawn Young World Magazine and came across an article "Time to Grow up".

As we grow-up, we have lots of duties and responsibilities, as student, siblings and citizens. We all should fulfil our duties and responsibilities. But unfortunately, most of us do not understand what are our duties and responsibilities, and fail to fulfil those and end up being irresponsible or get scolding from our parents and teachers.

In order to fulfil our duties and responsibilities we should as a student study well and get good grades and complete our home work on time. As a citizen, we should obey the law and save the environment. As children, we should help and respect elders and as a sibling, we should take care of our family members.

We should fulfil our duties and responsibilities to become a responsible person. If this happens our world will become peaceful and also beautiful.

This character is performed by Miranda Cosgrove who has her own website show as well by the name of iCarly.com. She lives in Seattle, USA with her big brother Spenser Shay. This character is performed by Jerry Trainor. Spencer is an artist.

Carly has two friends Sam (Jennette McCurdy) and Freddie (Nathan Kress). Sam is the co-star of the web show, while Freddie is the technical producer of iCarly.com. I a member of iCarly.com. The show is funny, I always laugh a lot while watching its episodes.

The web show is also very interesting. There are videos, one can submit a video and there are also very interesting games on this site.

I like the TV show because it is funny and the site is very interactive and interesting. I recommend kids to watch iCarly on Nickelodeon and register of iCarly.com.

Blogging Made me Famous!

When I started blogging last year, I did not know that by writing blogs, one can become famous.

Last week when my father told me that he received an email from ARY TV in which they wanted to invite me for an interview recognizing me as Pakistan's Youngest Blogger, I was really surprised. The program was sponsored by Omore. But before going in front of camera I got confused!

The host of the program Uncle Khalid Malik was so nice with me. He started talking to me which helped me a lot in gaining confidence. Soon I was okay. I learnt that one has to be relaxed in front of camera and the answers come so naturally in your mind. 

In my next blog, I will write about my experience of this interview, what questions were asked and what were my responses.

One thing for sure, blogging made me famous!  

Wrong Teaching Approach!

This morning I was reading my favorite magazine "YOUNG WORLD". The article struck me was about teaching methods in Pakistani schools. The article suggests that in Pakistan, most schools do not have the right teaching methods. One of the biggest reason for this is the lack of training of teachers. Particularly in the government schools, the situation is really bad. Even in private schools, only few leading schools have quality teachers.

Teachers usually try to discourage students to discuss, debate and share opinions. This is too bad! How can students develop the right thinking approach if they are discouraged at school level.

Teachers think that their job is to teach from the book and students must learn what is written in the book. I beg to disagree, they should try to open student's mind by sharing knowledge beyond the book and also encourage discussions and debates.

My father tells me that in most of third world countries have poor education system. But he said that Sri Lanka has over 90% literacy rate. People are really aware in Sri Lanka. I wish Pakistan also increases its literacy rate and children in villages get good education too!

Forgiveness is a good human quality

I have a school friend who by mistake took my computer work notebook home. When I returned from the school and could not find the note book in my bag, I got so worried. I searched everywhere, but naturally I did not have it. Next day, I had a test and without note book, it was challenging for me to score good marks.

Suddenly I remembered, that she borrowed the notebook from me and forgot to return! I told my mother who called my friend's mom and shared the story. My mother and I together with my father went to my friend's home and got the notebook.

My friend said sorry, and I forgave her, because I knew she did it by mistake. She did not steal the book and that's what I told everyone at home too.

It just happened that I got ill and hospitalized for three days. Doctor advised me two weeks leave from school. When I went back to school, my friend helped me with my homework. She lent me the copies and I was able to complete the school work that I missed during my sick leave.

I was right and forgiveness was the greatest thing that I experienced. 

The Sun is Heating Fast!

I was reading an scary article in Young World Magazine about Sun and how it is heating fast. The article says that we feel that the Sun has been around forever and is not changing, but that is not true. The such is actually slowly heating up and becoming 10% more luminous every billion years. My father tells me that billion year is a very long time.

But I still think that heat from Sun might become so intense that it starts burning our skin! The article suggests that it might happen that due to heat, water which is 70% of our earth might be evaporated and there won't be any water. If there is no water, how living beings will survive?

And the cause of this is that human beings are polluting our mother earth! I request you all to stop this for the sake of our future. Thank you!

How to get Good Grades in Exams?

Every kid wants to get good grades in exams. I have seen many use wrong methods for studying. Let me give you suggestions for perfect study for exams:

1. Freshen-up your mind, take a bath and choose a comfortable place to sit.

2. Takeout your books or copies and read questions and answers loud and listen your voice carefully with attention.

3. Do not take breaks. I never take breaks. If you are stress, just say that “I am not stressed” and stress will go away. And if you have listened to your lectures properly, it will be lot easier.

4. Drink plenty of water during longer study periods.

I always use the above method and stand first in my class.
