           Recently I found myself falling in love with a hijab that I just received as a gift from my best friend who have just returned from Japan. I wear hijab every day and I like it so much but something about this one is just different and it feels so special. I like the design and also the material that it is made of, it is very comfortable to put on.

Rainbow

Rainbow is a natural phenomenon in the form of arc spectrum in the sky caused by the refraction of light. Rainbow appears after the rains. The colours are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Rainbow is in the form like an arc. However, it actually has a circle shape. The half of the circle can be seen when we see from the higher places such as a mountain or when we are on a plane. The colours are formed as the effect of the refraction and reflection of the sunlight. After raining, the sunlight, which is the white light, touches the raindrops and it is reflected. The light will be separated in different degrees and produces different wavelengths. These wavelengths are accepted by our eyes in the form of different colours or spectrum, and we call it as a rainbow. As its position is opposite the sun, we need to turn our backs to the sun to see it.

MY PET

I have a pet. It is a dog and I call it Snowy. Snowy is a Chinese breed. It is small, fluffy and cute. It has thick white fur. When I cuddle it, the fur feels soft. Snowy does not like bones. Everyday it eats soft food like steamed rice, fish or bread. Every morning I give him milk and bread. When I am at school, Snowy plays with my cat. They get along well and never fight; maybe because Snowy does not bark a lot. It treats the other animals in our house gently, and it never bites shoes.

We always spend time together at home. We do many activities: playing balls, hide and seek, or racing in the backyard. In the afternoon, I usually take him for a walk. People love to see Snowy. Snowy is really a sweet and friendly pet.
