How did I choose my ECAs?
- Aiden Man Nhuchhe Pradhan - 3 ... 06 June, 2024

It all started when I first came to middle school. All of us were so excited to explore new corners, stairs, grounds, and places. I found it more fascinating to interact with my new teachers in a brand-new middle school. This is how I, along with my friends, adapted to the new ecosystem at Sifal School. Having said that, I remember when I got emotional separating with my teachers and juniors in the Elementary Block. Again, here I was now comparing and noticing the changes. I found out that we can choose the food for ourselves from the provided options. I loved it.

Likewise, in the subjects, we can choose any two ECAs (Extra Curricular Activities) from each segment. Now, here comes the deal. When my friends and I were informed about this, we were encouraged by our teacher, Yukta Ma’am, to select whichever we liked. All of us were astonished by this news. I immediately thought of art and chess and selected those as my two ECAs. I confirmed it with Yukta Ma’am, and she typed on her phone. I assume that is the way of confirming. To my surprise, on the other hand, my parents were to decide on some other ECAs.

We had a conversation on the dinner table and then after too. Of course, I was not convinced, and that was the reason for stretching the conversation for so long. I am happy that I was stubborn enough so my mom and dad let me continue with art, and they communicated with my teacher. You may wonder why I debated with my own parents for a club? Well, I might not have made a smart choice, but here is my answer as to why. I wanted to become so many things when I grew up, but nowadays, I kind of like being a YouTuber. Not just a YouTuber, but a creative one who has good content and topics to discuss. I might have to make some anime, and art can boost me in that, as art requires a huge amount of creativity and thinking process. Moreover, I will be better at art, sketching, and flip books, and the more I do these, the more I can master these skills.

Additionally, I chose chess for my second club. Not a happy mom and dad, I can see, but I have to, as I desire to choose this. I feel very happy and excited when I am playing chess. I think I am good at chess as well. We all need to be happy with what we choose. If we are forced to choose something we do not desire, we will not be happy. Further, we will always lose as we will not be good at the thing forced to choose. I don’t want to play when I keep losing. We also will be bored or even depressed, so always do the things you admire, love, and you are good at. Yes, friends, we all have the right to do so.

Global warming
- Aradhya Gopal Aryal - 33044, ... 03 June, 2024

 Global warming is a term to describe the rising temperature of the Earth. There are many causes of Global warming. The largest cause of global warming is Greenhouse gas. Gases such as Water vapour, Carbon dioxide, Methane and other nitrous oxides are called Greenhouse gas. Those gases rise up in the air and trap the heat in the atmosphere. Deforestation is also a big cause of global warming. It is the process of cutting down the trees for settlement areas and to make different things like furniture, paper, stationery, etc.

Even the population growth that happened in the last 100 years had cut down large numbers of trees to make land for agriculture and residence. Forest helps to absorb greenhouse gas in the process of photosynthesis. Due to Greenhouse gas and deforestation, ice caps in the Arctic and Antarctica are melting. The melted water from ice caps goes into the sea and ocean. This process raises sea level.

The most impacted countries by global warming are Maldives, Netherlands, Iran, Indonesia etc.

These cities are sinking due to rising sea level. And due to the sudden climate change, Iran will

need further cooling techniques in the future because it is said that by the 23rd century Iran’s temperature will be very high and that will not be suitable for any humans to live. Also, the weather pattern in the world has changed so much that in some places there is flooding while others have no rain.

Many people don’t believe in global warming even though humans are the cause and are the one responsible for it. One of those people is Donald Trump. He thinks global warming is happening naturally AND HUMANS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GLOBAL WARMING.

There are lots of ways to reduce Global warming. Instead of using cars for a short distance

people can walk. It will also make them fit. The dirty gasoline fuel can be replaced by hydrogen

and electric energy. The big factories which are the biggest contributors to the greenhouse can

use renewable energy like hydro power, solar energy, nuclear energy, wind energy etc. Also,

more trees are required to be planted.

Conclusion:

When we become a leader or a professional person in the future, we should always keep

our planet Earth in mind from an environmental perspective. Earth is our home. We can only

survive happily if we have better air to breathe and a clean environment to live in.

Cricket
- Rabi Harsha Adhikari - 32013, ... 31 May, 2024

Cricket is one of the most popular games. It is an outdoor game played between two teams, each consisting of 11 players. That means a total of 22 players participate in the game with interest. The game was first invented in England.

This game is played with a bat, ball, stumps, etc. To decide which team plays first, with their choice, the umpire tosses a coin and gives instructions to play. During play, one team goes for fielding and bowling with the motive to dismiss the other team's batsmen. On the other hand, batsmen try to score as many runs as possible without being out. Nowadays, cricket is played with challenges for fixed overs of bowling like 20 overs, 50 overs, etc. In this game, the umpire makes all decisions, and both teams accept them.

Nowadays, cricket is becoming increasingly popular not only among kids but also among young adults and even women. Many types of tournaments also take place nationally and internationally. At this time, our country Nepal is also playing in the T-20 World Cup. Our country plays cricket, as seen with bats and balls in many corners of the country. The Nepali cricket teams, both women and men, represent nationally and internationally. The dedication and interest toward this game have made it very popular. My favorite league is the Indian Premier League (IPL).

In my opinion, cricket is a well-disciplined and good game for our health. We should play it carefully because sometimes the ball can hit us badly.

हाम्रो वातावरण

हामीले वातावरण सफा राख्नुपर्छ। हाम्रो वातावरण सफा भएन भने हामीलाई रोग लाग्छ । हामीले खोलानाला सबै सफा राख्नुपर्छ। फोहोर पार्नुहुँदैन। हामीले रुख बिरुवा उखेल्नु हुँदैन । हामीले बाटोघाटोको खाल्डाखुल्डी पुर्नुपर्छ नत्र दुर्घटना हुन सक्छ । हामीले धारा र पानीका स्रोतहरूमा फोहोर गर्नु हुँदैन । खोलामा फोहोर फाल्नुहुँदैन। त्यहाँ दिशापिसाब पनि गर्नु हुँदैन। जताततै थुक्ने काम पनि राम्रो होइन । हाम्रो समुदायमा धेरै मानिसहरू छन् । कोही डकर्मी, कोही किसान, कोही चालक, कोही शिक्षक, कोही पुलिस, कोही डाक्टर,  काेही इन्जिनियर आदि सबै खाले मानिसहरू समुदायमा बस्दछन् ।

मातातीर्थ औँसी
- Mahim Bajracharya - 32056, Gr ... 30 May, 2024

 मातातीर्थ औँसी वैशाख महिनाकाे कृष्णपक्षको औँसीका  दिनमा पर्दछ । नेपालमा यो पर्व हरेक वर्ष सोही दिन मनाइन्छ । यो दिनमा आमा भएका सबै छोराछोरीले आफ्नी आमालाई मनपर्ने उपहार तथा खानेकुरा दिएर आमाको मुख हेर्ने चलन छ । आमाले हामीलाई जन्म दिनुहुन्छ । हाम्राे सुख तथा राम्रोको लागि आफ्ना चाहना र सपनाहरू त्याग गर्नुहुन्छ । हामीलाई सही बाटो देखाएर अगाडि बढ्न सिकाउनुहुन्छ । हाम्रो सुखको लागि आफ्नो पीडा लुकाएर सधैँ हाम्रो लागि आफ्नो जीवन समर्पित गर्नुहुन्छ । त्यसैले मातातीर्थ औँसीको दिन आमालाई धन्यवाद भनी सम्मान गर्नकाे लागि यो पर्व मनाइन्छ । हामीले मातातीर्थ औँसीको दिन मात्र आमालाई  माया गरेर मात्र हुँदैन । आमाकाे दुःख बुझेर सधैँभरि उहँलाई खुसी बनाउने काम गर्नुगर्छ । आमाको राम्रो स्वास्थ्यको कामना गर्दै आमा नहुनेहरूले आमाको सम्झनामा काठमाडाैँकाे मातातीर्थ मन्दिरमा गई आमाको नाममा पूजा गर्ने चलन छ । यो चाड मेरो मनपर्ने चाडमध्ये एक हो । आमालाई मनपर्ने खानेकुरा तथा उपहार दिएर आमालाई खुसी बनाउन मलाई धेरै रमाइलो लाग्छ ।
