YOUNG CHILDREN CAN ALSO EARN MONEY

-
 







          “What is good for the goose is good for the gander.” Have you heard that before? In the same way, what is good for the adult is good for the child. Most adults think children are not wise enough to earn money, in my opinion; young children can also earn money. There are three things they can do to earn money.
             The first thing they can do is making up small businesses. These businesses usually don’t cost much. My sister started a bow business with just card boards, elastic, some pieces of cloth, a needle and thread. Have you heard of loom band business? All you need is a packet of small rubber bands and you can start. There is even the bead business which everybody knows, so just note; there is no limit.
             To add to my point, children can also participate in community service. One day, on the road, I saw two boys controlling the traffic. Don’t you think that the Government is going to pay those boys? They might even get a scholarship through that.
              Thirdly children can do summer jobs in order to earn money; by mowing a lawn, children can earn money. By helping in shops, children can earn money. Even by weeding, children can earn money.
               With this, I rest my case, but always remember that child can also earn money.

RECESS SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ONE HOUR

          “Yeah it’s time for recess!” shouted Jake and it was time to outside. The class perfect spent ten minutes arranging the line and she shouted “Oh come on, this break time is only thirty minutes!” She managed to arrange us and they went down stairs. When they got there, the Hummingbirds were already there and did not allow the us to play. By the time they finish playing, it was break over. We were sad. In my opinion, I believe break time should be extended to one hour.                My first point is, we need to make new friends and  we need more time to allow us to make new friends. Also, your cousin can be in the same school and you won’t even know, imagine that! I strongly believe we need more recess time.                  Next, it enables us to explore nature. We need more break time because exploring nature is good. You can see the plants around the school and learn from them. Also see creatures that people thought were extinct.                Finally, when we s

THE STRANGE ENCOUNTER

It was a boring afternoon with my sisters and I on the couch. Our parents had gone to work and weren’t coming home until tomorrow and there was nothing for us to do. The phones were down and the thunderstorm last night had smashed the Dstv dish. Suddenly, Stella my younger sister came up with an idea!                                                                                 ‘‘Why don’t we go on an adventure into the valley’’                                                                      Without even thinking about it I concluded it was a good idea. We all sprang up from the couch and raced to our various rooms. I put on a yellow T-shirt with animal paw prints all over it. I got my adventure bag and packed all the resources I needed. When I got downstairs, I noticed my sisters had copied my outfit and even the adventure bag. Too excited to get mad I overlooked their ‘offence’ and shouted “LET’S GO!” We reached the valley, it was such an amazing sight that
