Robotic misadventures

I want to share my views regarding the story, “Robotic misadventures” by Naad-e-Ali Khan (YW, Aug 15, 2020).

It was a fantastic story with thrilling details. I am sure many readers want to read the stories that are about innovations and new technology, rather than old-fashioned ones in homely settings.

Young World is a good platform for youngsters to polish their writing skills and show them to the world.

Story time is always my biggest interest in Young World. This time, I found it mind-blowing. The story written by Naad-e-Ali Khan, namely “Robotic misadventures” (YW, Aug 15, 2020) was fun to read.

I loved the idea of robots going crazy and the thrilling end of the story.

I always find Young World full of things that children of all ages can read and enjoy. I eagerly wait for the weekend for the next edition of the magazine.

It is regarding the story “Robotic Misadventure”. The title was as promising as the story. The electronic adventure using different gadgets was the thing I liked the most about the story. I don’t think anyone could leave it without reaching the end.

In the current situation, when we have to stay at home, Young World is proving as the best companion. I look forward for such stories in the future too.

Perfection is an illusion

This is regarding the article “Perfection is an illusion”, by Maryam Rasheed, published on June 27, 2020, in Young World. I completely agree with the writer.

Sometimes it happens that mothers do not realise the effect they have when they appreciate only one of their children. I also feel that sometimes my mother only loves my younger sister and doesn`t give me all the attention I need. Not all mothers are like that. It is also unfair when parents compare you with your sister or cousins that are older than you.

This happens a lot in our house, when my little sister is being mean or annoying me, my parents don’t say a word to her, but when I get mad at her, my parents get angry at me.

Anyways, after reading this story it made my day and it also gave me an opportunity to express my feelings about this issue to my family. I had to write and appreciate it. Keep up with the brilliant work and great effort!
