Unbelievable beach sands

THIS is regarding the cover story “Unbelievable beach sands” compiled by Benazir Raz (YW, October 10, 2015). It was a very interesting article as it provided information about the various colours of sands on different beaches around the world.

THE article “Unbelievable beach sands” compiled by Benazir Raz was a wonderful article. I was amazed to know that our world is way more beautiful than we know it. Everyday we come to know about many wonderful things being discovered by people.

I am thankful to the writer as well as the YW team and would request both to keep giving us amazing stuff to read.

Our feathered friends

THIS is regarding the story “Our feathered friends” by Ayesha Alam (YW, October 10, 2015). The story was interesting and had a great lesson for its readers.

It is a fact that many people want to keep pets but they don’t know how much care a pet needs. And as time passes kids who possess a pet lose interest and don’t pay due attention to their pets.

Therefore, I totally agree with the writer that if you cannot take care of animals, you must not keep them. But if you decide to keep a pet, it is your responsibility to feed it well and take great care of it.

Word of the week

THIS is with reference to the regular section “Word of the week.” I love this section because it enhances my vocabulary. So I would request the YW team to always include this section as it is one of the best.

Learning in cyberspace

THIS is with reference to the cover article “Learning in cyberspace” by Asif Ali (YW, October 3, 2015). The article covered various websites and I found them all very helpful in our studies.

I would like to suggest the writer to review websites that cover tips and tricks related to technology and computers.

Secret files

THIS is regarding “Secret files” compiled by Omair Alavi. The posters of comic heroes or villains are not interesting at all. Instead of these, if celebrities from Pakistan or Hollywood are covered on this page it would look great. I hope the YW team would consider our request.
