How to keep going on with online classes without getting bored
Fun Experiences in the Physical classroom
Students get bored in online zoom classes because they have to look at a single screen for a longer duration of time and less interaction kills their enthusiasm for the lesson.
In the physical classrooms, learners see others taking notes, reading comprehension, studying the day before the assessments, and it keeps them inspired. In the physical classroom, students can make ugly snaps of their friends till the teacher arrives. All of them seem so fun and engaging. It’s full of happiness.

My experience of the cyclone
The little raindrops add a rhythm to the gloomy evening
I just peep through the window
The sky hides all the vibrant clouds
It isn’t dressed in orange, blue, purple, and pink colors
The dark black clouds bravely conquered the evening sky
The wind blows slowly and asks the dry leaves to fall first
Suddenly, it becomes so violent and rude
All the trees in the garden are whirling, rotating, and screaming
The little cashew fruits start falling one by one
I am wondered
A lush green branch in the mango tree has fallen
I tightly hold my mom’s hand

A poem
Wise daughters make the fathers proud with amazing talents
Open-hearted little souls who are sleeping on father’s lap
Marvelous and endless stories throughout the day, until they go to bed
Adorable, shining smiles and dances with little frocks
Now my daughter hastily comes to hug me with her little doll
Wonderful sisters take care each other
Oh! Sometimes, brothers forget to make their sisters happy
Many little conflicts with siblings, but it’s only for few minutes
An angel who always with your side when you feel sad
Now my sister is waiting to hug me
Worthiest gift in your life…
“Cherish youth, but trust old age”
Lad, I am a man with grey hair now
An old handsome bird with poor eyesight
Still travelling everywhere with my walking stick,
the only partner who consoles me
It bears all the burdens , knows every secret of this old man
Give me your great browny hands
I am yearning to sit under a colorful autumn tree dreaming how big you are
watching all the wonders of life
You wanted to catch every floating autumn leaf when you were a child
You cried, when you missed one
I put you on my shoulders and ran fast with the wind

Easy tips to stay productive
I have been working from home for about a year now. I love this lifestyle though most of my friends found it so difficult. This work style was so strange for me at the very beginning. It tends to increase loneliness compared with my office life.
Working from home is a bit harder than it sounds. Distractions are everywhere. But, it has definitely given me an opportunity to look out in life beyond our works. After four months of experience, I have realized that having a well-designed schedule is more precious.

Never just exist, live life as your best
I was reading a book called “ The Demon Bride” by Dianna Hardy yesterday evening. I came across a line.
“ He thought he’d lived through everything, only now he did realize he’d merely existed.”
I was wondered for a moment. I just kept the book on my lap. How many times have I heard these two words “ living” and “existing”? It was an interesting question. I wanted to clarify it. Now, my mind is aching for details.
Oscar Wilde once said, “ To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all”. Living…
A poem on snow falling
I am sitting by a large French window
in a brisk winter’s day
The log fire in the wood stove
radiates its glamor throughout the place
The scent of the fresh snow
and the sound of the crackling woods
arouse all the soft senses for a moment
I close my eyes and take a slow, deep breath
Wonderful! I am feeling light as the soft, white snow
The sense of happiness and relaxation goes throughout the
body from head to tiptoe
I am looking at the glorious stillness of nature
Soft, white snow gently falling to the ground
I see…
Coining new words in English Language
Language reflects how society perceives the world. Sri Lankan English (hereafter SLE) which is identified as a distinct variety of English has a rich vocabulary from English coming into contact with the other languages in Sri Lanka. SLE vocabulary has been enriched by the continuous addition of new words formed through a number of morphological processes. According to Senaratne (2009, p.52), “Sinhala, heavily influences the variety of English spoken in Sri Lanka and ‘Sri Lankan English’ or ‘Lankan English’[1] is used by Sri Lankans who speak English as their first language and Sri Lankans who are bilingual”. This study examines…
A poem
Tiny, white snow drops are falling and it’s so cold
The colorful Christmas tree is smiling brightly
Melissa from Pennysylvania smiles beautifully
and celebrates Christmas with her sweet family
Wish you Merry Christmas, sweet Melissa
The house is filled with the sweet smell of the cookies
She decorates her Christmas tree with vibrant colors
It really looks wonderful
I hope, Amy from Canada will send me a lovely wish
Wish you Merry Christmas, pretty Amy
A writer with a kind and beautiful thoughts
She looks so happy always
Tracy is celebrating Christmas from Michigan
Wish you Merry Christmas…
A poem
It was a tasty hot chocalate morning
The smell of the fresh- baked cookies filled the house
I found some magic in the air today
World is wrapped in winter’s fluffy white blanket
Warm sunrays illuminate the tiny crystals of ice
It was a breathtaking magic
Sweet fragrance of the crisp air slowly
whispers me; “It’s Christmas”
Season becomes flooded with joy
It was a delicious marshmallow evening
I saw the lush green Christmas tree glistening with vibrant lights
and garlands made of tinsel, popcorn, and cranberries
The tree looked so handsome with its silver bells and golden stars
And…
