YOUNG CHRONICLE

What is a Blizzard?

America was recently hit by a
blizzard, which got Rambo and
Pranks wondering what a blizzard is.
The blizzard that hit the U.S.
recently, swept past New York City
and struck hardest around Boston,
dropping nearly three feet of snow in
are as and triggering high tides .
To Rambo and Pranks, this seemed
like a deadly snowstorm, but there is
a difference between the two.

A blizzard is a severe snowstorm
with strong winds causing blowing
snow.

Till now, Rambo and Pranks loved the snow, but they are now thankful that it doesn’t snow in most parts of India.

What’s Happening in the Sport of My Choice…
By Adi Ali Khan
Hi my name is Adi Ali Khan, I love all the sports and play and represent my class in
school. I love Football, Cricket & Basketball the most. At this point of time the India
and Australia Cricket series is very a very hot topic of discussion between my Mom &
Dad, and me. As of now, we as a family are disappointed with India’s performance in
both, Test & One Day matches in this series. I am worried what will happen in the
3
world cup, which will start in a few days, if we continue to play this way.
In an earlier series also India did not perform well initially, but they bounced back
well and won the series, let’s hope for the same sort of revival. I love Dhoni’s
captaincy skills and have faith that he will do some miracle and improve the playing
style of the team, so that we can perform well. I believe that Virat Kohli and Raina
will also contribute to the team’s victory in the coming days.
My Dad says that Cricket is a team game and the team has to perform as a whole. In
fact, I learn’t this lesson last Sunday, when I and my friend played very well, we made a good number of runs and
took some wickets, but lost because of bad fielding. The Indian Cricket team should learn from the Australian
team, as they play with a ‘never give up’ attitude, and fight well till the last moment.
In Basketball & Football too, the team which plays as a single unit, wins. Mom says that not only do all sports help
build team spirit, they also develop our minds along with our bodies. Which is why sports are important on the
whole. So, I would recommend, to all my friends and readers, to play at least one sport daily, to keep healthy and
fresh. As a family, we gather all my colony friends and play outdoor games in a nearby park. I also play Basketball
daily in a Sports Complex near my house, it gives me immense pleasure and helps me focus on everything, better.
