132. My future house

                                             By H A R I N I

My future house would have a ceiling bed that it can know when I am awake and asleep, for example, when I am awake, but still in bed, the bed would come down to the living room, if I was still asleep, I would stay on top. In the living room, I would have a chandelier and it would be changing colors to my mood. If I was happy, it would show yellow. If I was doubtful, it would show purple and so on.

The kitchen, would have remote control stoves and ovens. The smoke alarm will be no longer needed because the kitchen will have a built in sensor which will determine whether the smoke is real fire or if someone is just cooking or something. It will auto check the walls in case of any broken pipes.

The bathroom will have an auto flush valve and when you pull down the seat, it will have a toilet seat cover ready to use, when it is used, and you put the lid back up, it will reload for another use.

In my garden, I would have flowers which would blossom in spring, shed in winter and fall, and in summer, it would look appealing. I would not have to water it or take care of it, because, it is like programmed to do so. I would also have a pool, which will change according to the weather, if it is raining or has bad weather, the pool will transform to an indoor pool, if it is sunny or has good weather, it will transform to an outdoor pool referring to the weather.

In the backyard, I would have a basketball hoop and as I make a shot, I will show dots to represent the path it took to shoot in the hoop. So the next time, I can adjust my aim and do better, or if I got it in the first time, I can aim it in the right way and shoot. The swing will not have chains, instead it will be magnetized and will be connected to the pole using magnetism. You can also adjust the speed of the swing by making the strength of the magnet stronger so the swing can go faster.

My future house is what I want, as my house for the future. Any other house will also be perfect, as long as it is different from the past.

131. Why should students be allowed to have phones

                                                            By H A R I N I
Kids all around the world have some sort of technology. In school, if students have phones, and they are reading a really hard book, they can look up the meaning on their phones! Some classes have dictionary’s, but you can find the meaning of a word quicker on a phone compared to a dictionary.

A phone can also be used for safety reasons, for example, when unwanted people come into the school, and someone is still in the school, the teachers can call the student and ask them where they are! Another reason, is that teachers can assign a lot of work so the students might not be able to keep track of them all and that’s where phones come in!

Students can use the reminder app to keep track of all their homework, so they can finish and return it in time! Teachers can also use apps to send homework to students, this can be a great help to students who often forget their homework at school. phones can also be used to get friends, for example, when a new student is in a school, they might feel nervous and shy, but with their phones, they can communicate easier, and make more friends!

       In conclusion, phones should be allowed because it provides information and can also be used in case of emergency’s! Phones are useful pieces of technology and that they become the part of our daily life.
