A memorable day …

A day I will always remember is my sixteenth

birthday two years ago. Why? Because a week
earlier, I had broken my leg while I was
skateboarding and I couldn’t go out! I was so
disappointed, but I now remember that day as
probably my best birthday ever.

I had been planning a special day out with my

friends to an escape room – it had looked amazing.
When I woke up on my birthday, I thought the day
was going to be a complete waste of time, but then
my sister gave me my present. She had asked all
my friends to send her videos of them saying
‘Happy Birthday’. It was a complete surprise. I was
laughing and laughing as I was watching them. I’d
been feeling quite depressed because my party had
been cancelled, but the messages really cheered
me up. After lunch, I went shopping!

My dad gave me an online shopping voucher

because he hadn’t been able to buy me any
presents. I spent the whole afternoon looking at
clothes and stuff with my sister, and in the end, I
decided to buy some Ray-Ban sunglasses. There
was one last surprise. My parents had made a slide
show of photographs from all my past birthdays. We
all watched it together, and it was so funny.

So, when the day finished, I’d had a really special

day. In the end, although I’d had to change my
plans, I’ve never forgotten that day. Now I know
that even a day that begins as disappointing can
become special.

Gandhi first became active in local politics when he
realised that there was a lot of racial prejudice
against black and Asian people in South Africa. In
1915, he returned to India where he became an
important figure in the fight for Indian
independence. At that time, India was part of the
British Empire and Gandhi and his followers wanted
India to govern itself as a free country. He believed
that India should be one nation for all Indians; rich
and poor, and of all religions.

Gandhi’s political campaigns are often associated

with his belief in non-violent activism, and he was
able to achieve his goals without using force.
Gandhi died in 1948 when he was shot dead. It is
both ironic and tragic that the man who created a
free India and hated violence was assassinated by
an Indian political opponent. Gandhi’s birthday, 2
October, is now a national holiday in India and is

told me I should go there as soon as possible. So,
here goes. The Design Museum.

Well, as you can imagine, the building itself is

amazing. It was built originally in the 1960s, but it
had been empty for a long time. It was redeveloped
by a team led by John Pawson using L17.5 million,
which had been donated by Terence Conran. There
are three floors, which include the galleries, a
restaurant, and a library for staff, researchers,
designers and students. And, of course, a gift shop
with expensive stuff to buy.

The permanent exhibition is on the top floor and is

called ‘Designer, Maker, User’. It contains over
1,000 objects that have been designed, made and
used by people during the twentieth and twenty-first
centuries. The Designer section of the exhibition
includes iconic objects like a traffic light, UK road
signs, and the classic London Underground map.
The Maker section celebrates manufacturing. Items
include the Olympic Torch from the London
Olympics in 2012, tennis balls and the Model T
Ford. Finally, the User section features items that
demonstrate famous brands such as Apple and
Sony. So there’s a Vespa moped, an iPhone, and
Xbox control station. In other words, something for
everybody.

One part I particularly liked was a part called the

Crowdsourced Wall. This wall has 200 everyday
popular objects that people like. It’s called the
Crowdsourced Wall because ordinary people
suggested the objects. The items include a bible, a
Coca Cola bottle, and a L5 note. But do you want to
know the best thing about ‘Designer, Maker,
User’… it’s free to get in. That’s my idea of a great
exhibition. OK, so that’s the permanent exhibition.
But there’s more. The temporary exhibitions.

1 Why is the theatre so expensive? Well, I don’t
think it is. As far as I am concerned ticket prices
for the theatre are not too high because it costs
a lot of money to put on a play.

2 I don’t really feel that festivals are too expensive

because of the large number of artists you can
see play for the price of one ticket. How often
can you see 50 top bands for 100 euros? Not
very often.

3 I know that musicians need to charge quite a lot

for tickets since it’s how they make money, but I
think that some bands make their concerts far
too expensive. My dad paid 150 euros to see
The Rolling Stones in London. Can you imagine
it? What a waste of money!
