MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER
My favourite cartoon character is Chota Bheem. Chota Bheem's cartoon is shown on
Pogo channel.
Chota Bheem lives in Dholakpur. This place is ruled by the king Indraverma. He has a
daughter Indumati.
  Chota Bheem's best friends are Chutki, Raju and Jaggu the monkey who can talk. He
loves to eat laddoos made by Tun Tun Aunty. Kalia is jealous of Chota Bheem. But he
still likes Kalia. He helps Kalia when he is in trouble. Chota Bheem helps everyone in
Dholakpur. He fights against the bad people and maintains peace in Dholakpur. The king
of Dholakpur rewards him for his good deeds. Chota Bheem is my favourite because of
all these qualities.
  But Chota Bheem is not real. We should not try to imitate him or any other cartoon
character. It is a great entertainment to watch Chota Bheem cartoon.

MY HOBBY
I have a lot of hobbies like singing, reading, drawing and playing keyboard. The hobby
that I like the most is playing keyboard.
  I started playing keyboard when I was 5 years old. Now I have started going to keyboard
classes where I get to learn a lot more about playing it. I like playing music by Beethoven,
Bach and Bollywood music too. This hobby needs a lot of concentration and practice to
learn. But it is a good stress buster too. I also love to sing while playing it. I have done
keyboard performance in my society and in school during talent competition. Everybody
liked my performance. I also won the first prize in the talent competition.
  Music is my life. I will continue to keep learning and playing the keyboard.

MY FAVOURITE FESTIVAL
 There are many festivals celebrated in India and all over the world. My favourite festival
is Diwali. It is a very famous festival of India.
  Diwali is a festival of lights and is also called Deepavali. It is celebrated for five days. We
buy a lot of crackers and sweets during this festival. My mother also prepares sweets and
other delicious food during Diwali. I help my mother with the cooking and to make
beautiful rangolis. We light lots of diyas or oil lamps. I had painted a few earthen diyas in
school this year just before Diwali. We lit these diyas too. We wear new clothes and visit
the temple. Diwali is a festival of joy and a lot of fun filled activities. I like this festival
very much.

VISIT TO THE ZOO

My family and I visited a zoo last year during vacations. During our visit to Mysore city,
we went to the Mysore Zoo.
  My father bought the tickets at the gate. He also got tickets for the buggy ride. The zoo
is very huge and would take 3-4 hours to walk. So we preferred to take the buggy.
  First the buggy took us to the cages of birds. We saw different species of birds. They
were of different colours and sizes. We saw parrots, macaws, peacocks, pigeons, eagles
etc.

  Next we saw different types of monkeys, apes and chimpanzees. Then we moved to
large enclosures of wild animals like lions, tigers, cheetahs, leopards and brown bears.
We also saw big animals like elephants, giraffes, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, alligators
and crocodiles.
  Visiting the zoo was an interesting and learning experience.

MY FAVOURITE FRUIT

My favourite fruit is strawberry. It is red in colour and small in size. It has a green stem.
It has seeds on its body which makes it look even more beautiful.
  Strawberry is a juicy fruit. It is both sweet and sour in taste. It is a rich source of
Vitamin C. Different food products are made from strawberry like jams, jellies, juices,
crush, cakes, milkshakes etc. We get lots of strawberries at hill stations like
Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani. I visit this place every year and get many strawberries to
eat. I also like the strawberry cream desert we get in Mahabaleshwar.
  I love this very juicy berry - strawberry very much.
MY FAVOURITE GAME

 I play with my friends everyday in the evening. My favourite game is 'Hide-and-seek'. It

is a fun game.
  We need more than 2 people to play this game. One person has to seek while the others
hide. The seeker counts from 1-10 while closing his eyes. Till then the others get to hide
themselves. The seeker has to find all the people hiding to finish the game. The person
whom the seeker finds first becomes the next seeker.

  It is fun to hide behind trees, benches, building walls and cars. All my friends love this
game too. I love playing this game with my friends and have a lot of fun.
VISIT TO THE CIRCUS

My family and I went to a circus during my summer vacation. We had seen the
advertisement of the circus in the newspaper and decided to visit it on a Sunday.
  My father bought the tickets for the circus. We were lucky to get the tickets of the front
row and enjoy the circus closely. First, the clowns came on the stage and performed
funny acts. Next the animals entered. The horses galloped along and it was like a dance
act. A gymnast balanced on a moving horse too. Then came the ring master with two
lions. It was amazing to see how he made the lions perform acts. Then a huge elephant
came and balanced on a ball. This act was wonderful too. Everyone was amazed to watch
the jugglers juggle things like balls and plates.
  The circus was great fun and entertaining.

MY HOBBY (READING)

 Everyday in my free time I read books. Reading is my hobby.

  I started visiting the library next to my house with my mother when I was 3 years old.
There were good, interesting and exciting books in the library. I choose interesting and
fun books. Reading increases vocabulary. I read books written by Enid Blyton, Jeff
Kinney and J. K. Rowling. My favourite author is Enid Blyton. She writes mystery,
enchanted stories and many more books. I like the mystery books the best. It is fun to
read the mystery books and read how a mystery is solved. I discuss about the books and
the characters in the book with my friends. The enchanted story books have everything
magical in the stories of the books. There are some o'clock tales too in which there are
many short stories. I even read books before I go to bed. Mostly I read books when I am
bored.
