Ever since he was six years old, Ali had wanted to get a Kitten. His parents always refused. They said he wasn’t capable of taking care of a kitten. “You have no idea how much work a kitten is,” Dad said. “You would have to housebreak the kitten, train the kitten to obey you, and groom it, too.”
“And then there’s taking the kitten to the vet, playing with it, and feeding it,” Mom added. “It’s not that I’m against having a kitten. But a kitten takes up a lot of time.”

Dear Nanda,
We are having a great a holiday here on the Gold Coast. Yesterday we went to the Movie World.
When we got up in the morning, it looked like rain. After a while the cloud disappeared. And it became a sunny day. We then decided to go to the Movie World.
The first ride I went on was Lethal Weapon. Next I saw the Police Academy show. After that I had lunch as I was really hungry. Meanwhile, Mum and Kelly queued for the Batman ride.
About one o’clock we got a light shower of rain but it cleared up soon after. We then went on all the other rides.
It was a top day. See you when you get back.
Love,
Samuel

Making Candles
Tool and Ingredient : o wax moulds,
-wick, dye discs, essential oils, and a double boiler.
Steps :
1. Melt the wax. All wax has a flash point, so to prevent it bursting into flames, you must melt it in a double boiler, with water in the bottom pan.
2. Prepare the mould with the wick. Thread the wick through the mould and make sure that you leave a good few centimetres sticking out of the hole in the bottom.
3. After that, add the scent. If you want a scented candle, add a few drops of essential oil to the melted wax. You can use any essential oil you like, as long as it doesn't contain water.
4. Next step, pour the wax into the mould. Try and tip the wax into the mould quickly, all in one go, to minimise spillage and air bubbles.
5. Then, release the bubbles and top it up. Releasing the air bubbles will eventually make the candle sink, so you will need to top it up with more melted wax.
6. Finally, remove it from the mould. After four or five hours, the candle can be taken out of its mould.
7. Your candle is now ready for display. Remember, you must always leave it for a day before lighting
