authors such as‚ Charles Dickens‚ Tolstoy‚ Dominique Lappiere‚ Rabindranath Tagore‚ R. K. Narayan‚ Arundhathi Roy‚ Salman Rushdie‚ etc. have always charmed and thrilled me‚ giving waves of delight‚ leisure‚ relaxation and mental refreshment. My favourite book is ‘City of Joy’ written by Dominique Lappiere. The book is a touching description of the lives of the slum-dwellers of Kolkata. The street-urchins‚ cycle-rickshaw pullers‚ city-vendors‚ coolies‚ pimps‚ ordinary men and women are the heroes

My favourite Saturday did not begin as you would picture one’s favourite day to be. Bleary eyed I awoke‚ momentarily forgetting where I was and rolling off the long‚ cushioned seat I had chosen for a bed. I came to the conclusion that a ferry boat was most definitely not the best place to rest for the night; what with people getting sea sick‚ loud chatter of those who clearly seemed intent on not sleeping at all and to top it all off my ipod had died! What luck. So there I was‚ musicless

I must it was a hard choice for me to choose my favourite dish‚ but I must say my all time favourite is the stewed ox-tail in red wine sauce. It is a Caribbean cuisine but it is so popular in other cultures that Chinese and western restaurants also make this dish. It can be served in a casserole‚ hot pot‚ or in a plate depending on the restaurant. Once the oxtails were simmering in the oven‚ the aromas were simply heavenly! The smell reminded me of Vietnamese pho from the star anise and cloves

My favourite sport is football- the most popular sport in the world‚ is well known as “ King” sport. Football is a team sport between two teams having the same amount of players.

The objective of the game is to score by kicking the ball into the opposing goal. The winner is the team which has scored most goals at the end of the match. Football is a interesting and challenging

My favourite poem is: Hope is the thing with feathers by Emily Dickinson I’ve never really had a favourite poem but this one connected with me. This is my favourite poem as it describes hope by using a powerful array of metaphors to enhance its effect. While it is true that many people all over the world live in extremely challenging and life threatening situations‚ leading hard lives in appalling conditions. What keeps people going in such circumstances is the glimmer of hope that

My Favourite Book It’s hard to imagine our lives without books. We learn a lot of interesting things when we read books. Books are our great friend‚ teachers and advisers. They teach us how to take the next step when we are in a difficult situation. They help to shape our life. It is impossible to become an educated person without books. Besides‚ books play an important role in upbringing our feelings‚ views and tastes; give us a lot of useful information. Frankly speaking I’m not a bookworm but

The Visitor Roald Dahl NOT LONG AGO‚ a large wooden case was deposited at the door of my house by the railway delivery service. It was an unusually strong and well-constructed object‚ and made of some kind of dark-red hardwood‚ not unlike mahogany. I lifted it with great difficulty onto a table in the garden‚ and examined it carefully. The stencilling on one side said that it had been shipped from Haifa by the m/v Waverley Star‚ but I could find no sender’s name or address. I tried to think

towards different teachers respectively‚ whether it was hatred because he had caned us‚ or loving because she did take good care of us. If we are to point out our favourite teacher‚ there won’t be any absolute answer since everyone has his own perspective towards the teacher’s characteristics that favor them. Well‚ I pay my tribute to my tuition teacher‚ Mr. Peter Lim. Mr. Peter had been teaching me since I was in form two. He is indeed the most hardworking tuition teacher I’ve ever seen. Unlike
