Butter and the Beast
I recently decided to make chocolate croissants at home. The previous day, I looked up the recipe and discovered that it takes 8 to 10 hours to complete.

For the Love of Verse
I was in the 7th grade when I had to recite a poem on stage. That was my first solo performance. My deep-rooted stage fear had always prevented me from volunteering for any events, except maybe a play where I could blend in with the crowd. But then, I selected Wordsworth’s Daffodils and stuttered my way through the entire recitation, despite days and hours of preparation. I don’t remember much except for the flush that enveloped my ears, making it feel as if I was reciting from the seabed. Yet, my love affair with poetry continued unabated despite this fiasco.
I cannot travel by train without recalling Stevenson’s From a Railway Carriage, nor can I let a brook pass by without remembering Tennyson’s “Men may come and men may go, but I go on forever.”

11 Tips for Writing a ‘Tips’ Article
In school these days, all of us have been learning different types of texts, and ‘tips’ articles are one of them. It can get confusing (I have first-hand experience), so I decided to write something to aid all of you.
1. Be Conversational
Use direct address with your reader. You don’t want your reader to feel left out or ignored in any way. They will feel encompassed in your words.
2. Maintain a Semi-Formal Tone
Have the perfect semi-formal tone to appeal to all audiences. A formal register frightens away adolescents, and a casual one might not resonate with more mature individuals.
The Evolution of Matcha: A Tea Trend
Matcha is a traditional Asian tea. It is a finely ground powder that is made of crushed green tea leaves, traditionally called tencha, which are from the plant Camellia sinensis.

He’s Got a “DAD” Attitude!
My mom says I inherited… What’s the word?… Yes! It’s the Exaggeration from my dad, twisting up truths into white lies, is it?

I appreciate him most when he finally stands up to Mom, who probably would be happy to see me get swallowed by my history book.
