16-year-old Harry Moore writes about his hobby, tennis.
My parents have always loved tennis and they’re members of a tennis club. My older brother was really good at it and they supported him - taking him to lessons all the time, So I guess when I announced that I wanted to be a tennis champion when I grew up I just intended for them to notice me, My mother laughed. She knew I couldn’t possibly be serious, | was just 4-year-old kid!
Later, I joined the club’s junior coaching group and eventually took part in my first proper contest, confident that my team would do well. We won, which was fantastic, but I wasn't so successful. I didn’t even want to be in the team photo because I didn't feel I deserved to be. When my coach asked what happened in my final match, I didn't know what to say. I couldn't believe I’d lost - I knew I was the better player. But every time I attacked, the other player defended brillianty. I couldn’t explain the result.
After that, I decided to listen mоre carefully to my coach because he had lots of tips. I realised that you need the right attitude to be a winner. On court I have a plan but sometimes the other guy will do something unexpected so I'll change it. If I lose a point, I do my best to forget it and find a way to win the next one.
At tournaments, it's impossible to avoid players who explode in anger. Lots of players can be negative - including myself sometimes. Once I got so angry that I nearly broke my racket! But my coach has helped me develop ways to control those feelings. After all, the judges have a hard job and you just have to accept their decisions.
My coach demands that I train in the gym to make sure I'm strong right to the end of a tournament. I’m getting good results: my shots are more accurate and I’m beginning to realise that with hard work there's a chance that I could be a champion one day.

Planting trees
by Mark Rotheram, aged 13
This spring, our teacher suggested we should get involved in a green project and plant some trees around the school. Everyone thought it was a great idea, so we started looking online for the best trees to buy. [11 - ] If we wanted them to grow properly, they had to be the right type – but there were so many different ones available! So our teacher suggested that we should look for trees that grew naturally in our part of the world. [12 - ] They'd also be more suitable for the wildlife here.
Then we had to think about the best place for planting the trees. We learnt that trees are happiest where they have room to grow, with plenty of space for their branches. The trees might get damaged close to the school playgrounds, for example. [13 - ] Finally, we found a quiet corner close to the school garden — perfect!
Once we'd planted the trees, we knew we had to look after them carefully. We all took turns to check the leaves regularly and make sure they had no strange spots or marks on them. [14 - ] And we decided to check the following spring in case the leaves turned yellow too soon, as that could also mean the tree was sick.
We all knew that we wouldn’t be at the school anymore by the time the trees grew tall, and that was a bit sad. But we'd planted the trees to benefit not only the environment, but also future students at the school. [15 - ] And that thought really cheered us up!

So we tried to avoid areas where students were very active.
However, our parents did offer to help with the digging
That could mean the tree had a disease.
But we soon found that choosing trees was quite complicated.
It can be quite good for young trees, though.
We knew they'd get as much pleasure from them as we had.
But at least we were doing it in the right season.
That way, the trees would be used to local conditions.
