Getting To Know the Facts:Additional Knowledge

Smiling

-Why you should.

Smiling is more than what most of us think it is. And I never

thought that it would be linked to all that.

Who would you choose?

Tell me honestly: who would you approach; a

stern looking, frowning person or a person who is smiling? When we smile, we seemagreeable, and people think that we are not mean or rude. They guess that we have

a friendly attitude and can talk to us without feeling uncomfortable. All these

things are subconscious thoughts that

come to a persons mind when they

look at someone who is smiling.

How you feel

Smiling makes usfeel happy, and it

boosts our mood.

When we smile- even if weakly- we feel relief and joy. We

also feel happy about ourselves and believe that we are

successful and have achieved a lot in life. We feel good about

ourselves and our confidence develops. Smiling makes you look younger and it lifts

your face.

Health Benefits

This is what I have been waiting for. Get ready to get blown off your feet, because

now is the moment of truth!

Issue 2:


When you smile, your body releases natural pain killers. Smiling also lowers your

blood pressure. Smiling makes you relax and your immune system works better than

usual, can you believe it? Smiling also decreases

stress levels, which is also connected with

health. Now didnt that blow you away if you

did not yet know about all that? It surely

surprised me. It takes only four muscles to

smile, whereas frowning takes a lot more

muscles.

Everyone else

When you smile at someone, they feel more

confident. Also, smiling mostly makes the other person smile as well, and they too

can then become happier and feel better. People

will take you as younger than your actual age

because smiling makes you look younger.

Got a grumpy grandma? Tell her to smile: it will

help her health, her mood and will make her look

younger.

She was proud to

I was teaching the kids what to tell someone who asks them where they live.

Say, I live inthis city (unnamed city).

A child stood up and said, Teacher, I do not

live there, I live in Laundry Lane.

I thought it was a mistake. After a while, I realized that she did not know that

she lived inthis city. Most people do not know which country they live in. They

live day to day lives, and what good will knowing the name of their city do to

them?

Laundry Lane was a particular lane where a lot of laundrymen lived. The girl

then asked me where I lived. I told her the name of the area. She smiled and

said, My father collects clothes from there as well. She was proud to have

found a connection.

Could you draw this?

Italic

All I am doing is reading a book when I see

some text that is in Italic (that is tilted,

like this). I wonder what it means.

When someone types in italic, they are

emphasizing on that particular word.


8/19

Issue 2:


Suppose if someone keeps on asking you whether you have something. You keep

on telling that person that you do not have it but eventually you lose your

patience and say, I do nothave it. This will let the person know that you

certainly do not have it. Now, if someone who heard all this wanted to write

this down, would he/she really write, that person finally got annoyed and said,

I do not have it, emphasizing on the word not.

Of course not. So, instead of doing that,

one can simply type it in italic. But

A celebrate says, The designs were kind

of nice. This will make you think that the

celebrate liked the designs.

The news reporter says, The celebrate

said that the designs were kindofnice.

This will make you think that the celebrate did not like the designs a lot and

thought that they were only a little nice.

Your friend says that he/she may not be able to attend the party. But your

mom will not let you go unless your friend goes with you. You do not want to

lie. You say, She/he mightgo.Your friend said to you, I might

notgo.

What your friend says makes

you think that he will probably

not go, but you emphasize on

the different words and make it

sound as though your friend

might just go.

A critic says, The rice is good,

but the lobster was a little

sour. The media says, He/ She

All that just with a tilt?

Issue 2:


said that the rice was good but the lobster wasa little sour.

Just like some of the media, you wrongly use the power of emphasis. Just like

that your tone will also change things. Now, this is a neat trick, but it could

get you into trouble. If you emphasize on the wrong words, you will not onlyland into a heap of trouble, but you will also be known to exaggerate things.

If you say that someone hated something, then people will not readily believe

you because they will think that you always make small things look big. That is

what you do in emphasizing. And if you do that to different words, you get a

different meaning.

Why do you think the Leaning Tower has such an impact?

The reality of the English Language.

Kite

Written by Maria Khan on the 12th of June, 2012.

My paints lay open, my canvas white

I want not to spoil it with colors

This canvas is pure, emitting a new light

Given to us, to paint with colors bright

And we used not the colors of nature

On and on, re-coloring, a painful sight

And oh, we think what we do is right

With unearthly brown and toxic green

For corners of the canvas did we fight

And when it will reach its utmost height

The canvas cloth will tear and fall

And we have put ourselves in blight

And let us hope and color in plight

That we stitch together with all our might

And let us paint together, a flying kite

Free, in the air- like we hope to be

For Boys:

The Sea Season

The best thing about living on the edge is that where there is

the edge, there is also the sea. And catching a fish

or two is easy.

Now, firstly, make sure that where you go fishing

is a place where there are a lot

of fish- not very close to other

fishermen, but not too far away.

Choose the fish you will catch. Then

when you go to the market (probably on theway to the sea), tell the shopkeeper the

fish you want and ask him where you will

find a lot of it, the bait it likes the most

and the hook

that will fit

into its mouth the best.

Now, if you live close to a river

and not the sea, then you have to

judge whether the tide is strong

or not. If it is, then use

sinkers that you can buy. They

will be attached to your line to

keep it close to the riverbed

(where the fish hunt). Ask the

shopkeeper how to tie the bait

(usually from its tail) to the

hook. If not, then youre good to

go.

You line is in the water. Now

nature will test your patience.

Dont expect to win if you have no

experience. Do not

give in. Hang

in there.


12/19

Issue 2:


You can find out whether a fish has fallen for the bait by

attaching a bobber to your line, which moves when there is

movement. You could even attach a bell that rings to tell you

that it is dinner time.

A fish has your live bait in its mouth. You will have to jerk thefishing rod back. If you were just hallucinating, then try again.

If you do not catch anything, try somewhere

else.

Now pull so that the fishing line

comes to a vertical position and keep

reeling at the same time. If you do not,

the line will be loose and the fish can

take the hook out of its mouth. Pull it

to open water (or the river bank).

Use a net to catch the fish (keep

this handy) and grab it by its tail (the fins,

mouth and other parts can hurt you).

Feel soft hearted at the sight of pain? You

can remove the hook calmly and let the fish

go.

Tips:

The larger

the bobber, the

more news updates you can get.

Good quality equipment always

pays off.

Keep your finger on the line for

the smallest and lightest movement (in the case

of small fish).

Stay away from the fins and the mouth. That is danger-zone

extreme.

Before you go fishing, watch

the movie Piranha-or read its

summary. Ha ha, nodo not do

that.

Hairdos for the Summer

Sun, sun and more sun. Is your hair getting in the way?

Up-dos for the summer:

Shoulder length hair: Is the normal

ponytail not enough? Try the flip-tail: a

hairstyle is easy to make.

All you have to do is make a loose

ponytail. Make a hole-like parting right

before the pony (not the hair in the

ponytail, but the hair that is loosely tiedup). Take the end of your pony and pick

it up (the tip should face the roof) and

put it into the parting. Put the whole pony in like this. Behold! It takes a minute

to master.

Medium length hair: Are you tired of making a regular bun? Try looped

bunches.

Just part your hair into two sections and plait each

section. Then take the tired-up end of your plait and tieit to the start so that the plait makes a circle (pin it- you

can even use a catcher). Take the hair at the end of your

plait that is not plaited and pin it down.

Long hair: Is the plaited

bun getting old? Try the

French Twist.

Hold your hair as if you were about to make a

low ponytail. Twist your hair a lot while holding

it up so that it points to the ceiling. Hold a hair

slide vertically at the side of your twist (the side

that has been twisted, not the smoother side)

and insert it to hold your hair. If you like, pull

out a few strands of your hair around your face
