I hate long holidays like summer and winter
vacations because they make me bored when I am home alone. I love to be
with my friends. In their absence, books become my best friends. I read
books by many authors. But my favourite author is Enid Blyton.
For
me, another pastime is playing games on my laptop. One day, I realised
that we have got so many new technologies like e-mail and Facebook that
can be used to bring our friends and relatives closer. So I started
sending e-mail and chatting with my friends and relatives.
One of
my cousins had told me the same thing. In fact, he also gave me a good
idea to use the technology to advance my interest in story writing.
He
said, “You can create an account on Facebook and then search for your
favourite author and add her to your network of friends. You can also
ask her to suggest some topics to write stories, or as you are planning
to write a book, she can write a small piece for the book.”
I liked the idea and agreed with him.
When
I tried to create an account, I realised that Facebook is not for
children. There must be something similar for children too!
Why, don’t you all agree with me?
