Second Writing Topic

Dear class the second writing topic is

Life at the university.

Write down your thoughts about this.

First Writing Topic

Dear everyone

Here is the first topic for writing

Myself.

I would like you to describe yourself and everything about you in an interesting manner.

Violin lessons

My son has started his first violin lesson last Saturday and he was pretty excited about it. He thinks he is making music as he confidently strums the strings of the violin. I for one still thinks that he is making noises rather than music. I could hear screechings and scratchings coming out of the violin rather than music that calms the soul. I had to endure it from Saturday until Monday, morning, noon and night. Unfortunately I can't ask him to stop because he was clearly enjoying himself. What can I say I brought this to myself encouraging him to play the violin. Hopefully a few more lessons will lead to him playing something significantly more musical. Wish me luck!

Rain2

Drip,drip,drop by Noraida Kamarudin

The pitter patter of the rain
Falling from the sky
Drip,drip drop.
Match the pitter patter of my heart
It’s cold and calm
Simply solitary the sound of the rain
Drip, drip, drop.
All is quiet
As if the world suddenly stopped
To ponder and think
Before everything is abuzz again
When the sun peaks itself
Out of the curtain of the sky.

Rain

The Rain by William Henry Davies

I hear leaves drinking rain;

I hear rich leaves on top

Giving the poor beneath

Drop after drop;

'Tis a sweet noise to hear

These green leaves drinking near.

And when the Sun comes out,

After this Rain shall stop,

A wondrous Light will fill

Each dark, round drop;

I hope the Sun shines bright;

'Twill be a lovely sight.

Hello my fellow students. I have not been a blogger for eons and I am starting again all over again, so as we go along I hope we can learn together and have fun together, writing a lot of interesting anecdotes, riddles or anything fun in each of our blogs. Hope this journey would be useful to all.
