Hello Online Magazine Readers,

 I am here to tell you about the interview with the featured writer! I interviewed Tamim from 4D. His favorite piece of writing that he wrote was “NO HELMET”. You can find it at the bottom of this page. His main writing tip is to focus and not to be surrounded by tons of people talking. You cannot focus with people talking. He likes to read because reading and writing are both similar, and if you are a good reader, you could be a good writer. His favorite genre is realistic fiction. He would like to write when he grows up. He likes to write about sports,that's how he came up with “NO HELMET”. His favorite book is //Diary of a Wimpy Kid// by Jeff Kinney and the //Witches// by Roald Dahl. If he becomes a writer when he grows up, he would like to make up stories that are humorous.

= NO HELMET!!! =
 * Story 1 **

One hot day when I was on my farm, I saw my bike. It had an engine and it was a four-wheeler. It went 120 miles per hour. I knew that it was too fast for my age but my dad got it for me. I went to my friends Ali, Mubarak and Ismail. I asked them “Do you want to go drive on my bike?” They said, “Yes.” So we went out.

I went with Ali on my bike, but Mubarak and Ismail ran because they wanted to and the place we were going to was very close. When we got there we went under a big rock so we can be in the shade and not in the sun .We said that everybody gets one lap each time.

First, it was Mubarak’s turn. He went on the road and started to drift. He made a lot of smoke we couldn’t see him then he came back and gave it to Ali. He did the same thing but on the sand. Then he came and gave it to Ismail.

He drifted on the sand and on the road. Then he came and gave it to me. I was excited. I went on and drove. I went very far. Then I realized some thing. I wasn’t wearing a helmet!!!!!!

Suddenly, I saw a tree in front of me. I didn’t know where to go right or left. So I pressed on the brake. But it was not stopping me from crashing. There was metal 0n the front and back to protect the bike but nothing protecting me. No seatbelt. Not anything! Only a chair to sit on and two handles to turn right or left. Crash! I flew off the bike and hit my hand and fell on the ground.

I felt like my hand was broken I didn’t cry I just got up and check my bike but nothing broke. I was not very angry. I got up and then I drove off fast so they will not know that I almost died and I crashed and almost broke my hand. So I went to my friends. N0 body knew that I crashed.


 * Story 2 **

The Pain By Tameem 0ne day I was in Landmark, I was going to Virgin but it was closed. So I went to Baskin Robbins. “The ice cream needs to freeze.” the man said “It will take ten minutes.” There were some tables on front of Baskin Robbins. So we sat there. I started to play on my Nokia E71 phone. I was playing a racecar game. I was sitting on the edge of my chair elbows in my hands where on the phone Swinging on the two legs of my chair. I was about to win… Just then my friend said, “Tameem”.

He wanted my attention, “Tameem- Tameem-Tameem-Tameem.” I told him, “What?” He didn’t answer so I kept playing finely I won 1st plays so then I kept playing then with all his with all his force my friend kick my chair. I flew forward I fell on my nose on the table I then I flew back and hit my back on the stage that is behind. It was metal.

My friend laughed at me. He said “sorry” but I don’t think he was because he was laugh at me didn’t help me get up and he was saying that it was mostly my fault because I was not sitting safely on my chair. Than I told him “so it is none of your business” then he told me “ OK” that is why I don’t think he is sorry.

So I told him never to do that to me so he told me ok I will never do that to you I made him swear not to and he was afraid that I was going to hit him like he did to me and mack him bleed but I told him if you do that to me even one more time I will make it worse then this so I went to the restroom and cleaned the blood that was on my head and it was not easy it was very very painful.

When I was going back from the rest room. I saw that every single table was full it was like a maze it was hard to get through. I took 12 min to get back to are table because some people didn’t let us go in so we had to go all the around. Finally we got back to our table my driver said that we could get ice cream no so we did. I got a villina milk shake my friend also did. I stuck my finger in the ice cream and put it on my nose and it felt good.
