Posters

By
Hi guys! I and my sister Zainab recently made some posters for ERDC seminar, 'Who fails when a child fails?' for the Poster Exhibition. There were around forty more posters displayed there, made by the participants of PTCC Batch 22. Of course, their posters were a lot better than ours, but then, who's comparing? :) I'm sharing my posters below:

 I made them on A3 sized pages. The first one shows a girl in a school uniform thinking about how boring her school life is, and she always has to do her school work, home work, prepare for tests and exams, do assignments, take tuitions, etc. It's mainly what goes around in an average child's life.

The second poster shows a child, his teacher (the one on the left) and his parents. They're angry at him because he has failed. I've written 'Who's fault is it?' because that's the situation in many families in which a child fails. The parents and teachers don't fully support him when he needs it, and are yelling at him when he failed. The thing is, is it really the child's fault? 

 Hope you like them and understand their message. Thanks for viewing, and remember to leave a comment if you have any feedback. :)

    Yes, it's true. I know this is not related to this, but how do you add the "Blogs Worth Visiting" thing? and can you remind me from where you added the "Reactions" thingy?

      Go to Layout, then Add a Gadget. In the gadgets list there'll be a link list. You can add that link list, and in the links, you can give links of the blogs.
      For the reactions, go to Layout, then on the squarish box where it says
      Main
      Blog Posts
      click on Edit. The window that will open up will have the reactions thingy, which you can select to add them.

      Hope this explains it. :)

    These posters are brilliant, Fatima! :D You're right. As for the first, the average amount of kids at school have to put up with a lot of stress instead of just focusing on the actual educational part of it. You've really depicted it well! As for the second, that's also very true. It's like, if you get results, we're going to be very proud of you, but if you don't, we're going to be very ashamed of you. Kids need to learn from their mistakes and making mistakes is what helps them improve. :) Keep it up!

      Thanks a lot! :) Yeah, that's exactly what I've tried to show. Thanks! I'm glad it explains it so well. Yes, that's true about making mistakes; we all make mistakes, and they aren't bad for us since we can learn so much from them. And thanks for the comment! :D

    The audience would also realize the perspectives of a child on this topic,and I'm sure by thinking on that theme and developing a poster on it would be a valuable learning experience for both of you.

Changes I would like to see in my country five years ahead

By
Hi readers! Here's another one of those essays that I mentioned I'd be sharing in here. This one was written on 12th April, 2016. The topic is mentioned below. Comments, feedback, and suggestions are very welcome! :) What changes would you like to see take place in your country in the next five years? Everything has some space for improvement, to strive to make it better, if not perfect. There are many changes that I would like to see take place in my homeland for it to improve. Firstly, I would like to see my country cleaner. The garbage disposal system of many places in Sindh, especially Karachi, which is the provincial capital, needs to be regenerated. The bio-degradable waste needs to be sorted and tackled accordingly, and the recyclable waste recycled. This change would not only be a relief to the common people, but also improve the country’s outlook. Secondly, I would like to see Pakistan greener than it already is. Although the province of Punjab, and Kash...

Short Story~The Storm

By
Here is a story that I wrote recently on a topic of a past O level paper. Please keep in mind while reading it that this is the third draft  of the story. Feedback would be taken seriously and appreciated. An instantaneous splash of water landing on the deck woke up the sailor. He leapt out of bed and hurried up to the deck, hoping that all was well. The situation was worse than he had anticipated. It was raining cats and dogs, accompanied by a very strong gale. The roar of thunder indicated the beginning of a storm. The bottom of the ship was already flooded about six inches deep with water and its level was increasing with the rain. The sailor quickly rang the siren for help and grabbed some buckets. Sleepy-eyed men came out of their cabins to help and he directed them towards the flooded area, where he handed out buckets and yelled out instructions. His voice was barely audible over the heavy rain and thunder, but they seemed to understand. They went to work at once, ...

Short Story: Laughter and Tears

By
Hey everyone! A few days ago I wrote a story, this time too, in response to a topic in an AS level English Language paper. Although the topic asked for a 'descriptive piece', what I wrote is more of a story (despite not following a proper story structure!) than a descriptive writing. Nevertheless, it is better than some of the other stuff that I wrote lately, so I'm posting it here. I would really look forward to any feedback and constructive criticism on it. Write a descriptive piece called Laughter and Tears . In your writing, create a sense of contrasting moods to help your reader imagine the scene. It was a hot afternoon and they were playing hide-and-seek in the house. This time she was “it”, and as she counted to hundred, they rushed into their hiding places, giggling and whispering. The innocent young girl, unaware of what life held in store for her, laughed as she rushed from room to room, spotting each one of her friends. She had been running down the ...
