ALGEBRA ON THE SOCCER FIELD.....by Danusri


Algebra on the soccer field
It’s been two months or so since 7th grade started.
As usual, it gets really exciting thinking about all the new things:
New friends.Check.
New teachers.Check.
New books.Check.
New football team. Check…
WAIT WHAT?
Did I forget to mention that?
Oh dear, I have a memory problem…
Anyway, some people think that I don’t know how to kick a ball, and that is so absolutely not true!
I know football better than most people think.
Sometimes I feel awfully sad for Messi and Ronaldo and other footballers.
Why?
Because I have some experience.
Not that I’m in the Indian football team or anything, but my school’s footbal team is quite enough.
After all, who knows maybe I would be a great footballer in the next 10 years?

OK, I’ll ask you this  one time…
Who plays football when its 40 degree hot outside?
Who takes 3 rounds of a 123456789 miles big ground, when its 40 degrees hot?
Who nearly breaks their legs  trying to do something they have never done?
The big question is WHO plays football when they are flunking algebra and integers at the same time???
ME? yes.
Actually flunking algebra and integers right at the same is a very unique skill, very few have been able to master it.
Solve-
1)An average 12-yr-old is playing football. She kicks the ball at the speed of 12cm per hour. How long does it take for the ball to reach her coach’s right cheek if he is standing exactly 1.234 km away?
2)If the coach and the average 12-yr-old are walking at the speed of 2 km per hour how long does it take for them to reach the principal’s office if it is exactly 3.455 km from the ground?
So, flunking algebra and football can get together.
Pretty dangerous thing to do! And tell you something I wish that average 12-yr-old is not me. I don’t want to get kicked out of the football team.
Plus- I have to study algebra, ’cause I don’t want to get kicked out of my class too.
“When given the choice between football and algebra, choose football but don’t forget algebra”

Letter to the Editor

8, Hariom Villa Ahmedabad – 380058 16h August 2019 The Editor Hindustan Times Ahmedabad Subject: Letter to make people aware of Afforestation Dear Sir, Through the segments of your newspaper every day I would want to express the challenges caused by deforestation. Deforestation is the root cause behind increasing pollution, global warming, climate changes etc. We need not only take quick measures for preventing deforestation of the forests, but also start mass afforestation of the forests. Mass afforestation is the only panacea (a universal remedy) to the problems caused by global warming. Afforestation is the most efficient natural technique to minimize greenhouse effect. Trees will reduce the excess Carbon Dioxide by processing it during Photosynthesis. Apart from this, trees will preserve wildlife, beauty and purify the surroundings, minimize soil erosion, stabilize climate, provide forest products for growing human population, construction and infrast
