Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is a city of contrasts. It is an exciting, crowded, modem city and at
the same time, a city that is full of history. The streets of Bangkok are usually noisy and crowded with people. Some are selling food, other selling clothing, cassette tapes, flowers, or souvenirs. Visitors love the river markets, the beautiful temples and architecture, and the nightlife. They also enjoy the food, the
shopping, and the friendly Thai people. Everyone seems to smile there.
Most of the year, Bangkok is hotter than any other capital cities in Asia, but from December to
February, the weather is cooler and much more comfortable. Actually, it is an interesting city to visit at
any time of the year. The shopping is excellent, and the price is cheaper than in many other large cities in
Southeast Asia.
There is always plenty to do in Bangkok any time of the day or night from watching Thai dancing or
boxing to taking a boat trip on the river or trying some of the delicious and spicy food. And if you get
tired of the city and the traffic, there are beautiful beaches only two hours away by bus.

The Winterthur Museum is a collection and a house. There are many museums

devoted to the decorative arts and many house museums, but rarely in the United States

is a great collection displayed in a great country house. Passing through successive

Line generations of a single family, Winterthur has been a private estate for more than a

(5) century. Even after the extensive renovations made to it between 1929 and 1931, the

house remained a family residence. This fact is of importance to the atmosphere and

effect of the museum. The impression of a lived-in house is apparent to the visitor; the

rooms look as if they were vacated only a short while ago ― whether by the original

owners of the furniture of the most recent residents of the house can be a matter of

(10) personal interpretation. Winterthur remains, then, a house in which a collection of

furniture and architectural elements has been assembled. Like an English country

house, it is an organic structure; the house, as well as the collection and manner of

displaying it to the visitor, has changed over the years. The changes have coincided

with developing concepts of the American arts, increased knowledge on the part of

(15) collectors and students, and a progression toward the achievement of a historical effect

in period-room displays. The rooms at Winterthur have followed this current, yet still

retained the character of a private house.

The concept of a period room as a display technique has developed gradually over

the years in an effort to present works of art in a context that would show them to

(20) grater effect and would give them more meaning for the viewer. Comparable to the

habitat group in a natural history museum, the period room represents the decorative

arts in a lively and interesting manner and provides an opportunity to assemble objects

related by style, date, or place of manufacture.

What is good writing for children?
The children’s publishers will tell you they look for ‘good writing’. What exactly do they mean?

Before you send a story you have written to any publisher at all, your severest critic ought to be you vourself. To have a chance of succeeding in the competitive market of children’s fiction, you should constantly be aware, every single time you sit down at your word-processor, of the need to produce ‘good, original writing’. A difficult task, maybe, but one which hopefully we will help you to achieve.

To begin with, let us try to pin down exactly what publishers mean when they talk about ‘good writing’ for children. A useful starting point would be to take a look at some of the children’s books which won literary prizes last year. Reading these books is one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways of: (a) finding out what individual publishers are publishing at the moment, and (b) learning a few tricks of the trade from well-established professionals. It goes without saying, of course, that slavishly copying the style and subject matter of a successful author is usually a recipe for disaster. Nor should you become downhearted after reading a particularly brilliant piece of work, and miserably think you will never be able to match up to those standards. Remember, overnight success is rare - most successful children’s authors will have struggled long and hard to learn their trade. Read these books as a critic; note down the things you enjoyed or admired, as well as areas where you feel there was possibly room for improvement. After all, nobody is perfect, not even a successful, prize-winning author.

Possibly the toughest challenge is right at the youngest end of the age range - the picture book. The would-be author/ illustrator is attempting to create an exciting story out of the narrow, limited, everyday world of a young child’s experience - not easy at all. The whole storyline has to be strong enough to keep the reader turning the pages, yet simple enough to fit into a few pages. Another problem for the new picture-book author is that it can seem that every subject and every approach has been done to death, with nothing new left to say. Add to this the fact that printing costs are high because of full colour illustrations, which means that the publisher will probably want a text that suits the international market to increase sales, and a novel for ten-year olds, with hardly any pictures at all, starts to look much more inviting.

You would be forgiven for wondering if there are any truly original plots left to impress publishers with. But remember that, in many ways, it is the writer’s own personal style, and intelligent handling of a subject that can change a familiar, overworked plot into something original and fresh. To illustrate this, read The Enchanted Horse by Magdalen Nabb. A young girl called Irina finds an old wooden horse in a junk shop, takes it home and treats it as if it was real. Soon it magically starts to come to life ... Sounds familiar? The magic object that comes alive is a storyline that has been used in hundreds of other children’s stories. So why does it succeed here? The answer is that Magdalen Nabb has created a strong, believable character in the lonely, unhappy heroine Irina, and the descriptions of her relationship with the wooden horse are poetic and touching.

So, to return to the question asked at the beginning: What exactly is ‘good writing’ for children? The answer is that it is writing which is fresh, exciting and unpredictable, and which gives a new and original angle on what might be a well- worn subject. But do not be put off if you feel that you simply cannot match up to all these requirements. While there is obviously no substitute for talent, and the ability to come up with suitable ideas, many of the techniques for improving and polishing your manuscript can be learned.

A. to copy the author’s style

The word "telephone" means hearing the sounds produced at a distance, just as we see distant objects through a "telescope" or we see things happening miles away through "television". The television was invented more thanone hundred years ago by Alexander Gragam Bell, an American. It is now very extensively used everywhere. In Vietnam, most of the people have their own telephones in their homes. It makes us possible to talk to our friends far away without all they way to their homes. In...

Marble Mountains is a group of five smaller mountains (1) representing Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth.
