Young World

I AM a huge fan of YW magazine and I really enjoy reading it. I like almost all the columns in the magazine but I like the story time section more.

However, I would request the YW team to increase the number of pages because I wait the whole week to read the magazine, and after having it in my hands I am through reading it in no time. And sometimes there are so many advertisements that there is hardly any reading material in it. So when there will be more pages, we will have more articles and stories to read.

I CONSIDER YW magazine very valuable as it is the best source of information for us.

All the articles are not just useful for kids, in fact they are very informative for elders too. They provide knowledge as well as keep us aware about everything new and what’s happening around the world, especially “Spotlight”, “The weekly weird”, and many other section.

This magazine is the true source of happiness and knowledge for the whole family.

Writing tips

THIS is with reference to the cover article “Writing tips” by Awinash Goswami (YW, July 25, 2015). The article was very informative as it gave many ideas for writing articles, novels, letters, etc., in an effective way. It was highly inspiring for me as I have started following the tips mentioned in the article.
