i PHONE, OR NO PHONE!
Have you noticed that people are addicted to i phones…I’m guessing you have. Well since i phones have come into the top line of latest phones, people are buying them like CRAZY! It’s a bit like this: theirs a flood in “mobile connections” which was caused by i phones and hundreds of people came to prevent the flood…and guess what? The i phones got wiped out! That’s the perfect way to explain it. Even though the i phone cost £400; People don’t care, they probably would give up there own children for the i phone…naaa, I’m just kidding! Well at least some people don’t get affected by this crazy phone era, those people keep to there limit. 
As time is flying by, the i phone is gradually slipping down to the bottom of latest phones, you know what that means…there going to put the price up! Too bad the people have had enough of the i phone. Some people have sold there I phone on enviro.com to get money for it! Some say that the i phones a bit too fiddly. Now were happy that people realise that the i phone affects them in such a way that they get carried away! This is why they used to say: I phone or no phone!

This is one of my first articles that I wrote when I was interested in journalism. I really enjoyed writing these reports but I never showed them to anyone. I wrote these when I was 13; this just shows how much I loved to writing. then I am very sorry, but you can email me and help me with my articles. Remember…everyone is capable of everything. But one reason lots of teenagers enjoy reading my articles is because the articles have meanings and morals; the teens can indirectly take advice from me which can help them in their daily lives. I hope whatever I write helps people as that is my only intention.

Your dream or your parents dream?
Sophie Smith was an average school student who had just finished her GCSE’s. She did well in all her subjects but did better in maths, science and English. She loved English very much although she did not hold the same love for maths and science. Ever since Sophie was little, her dream was to become a journalist, and she still held that dream. A few months ago she had applied for Layton stone collage and had been accepted straight away. Though she still did not put down which courses she wanted to do because she wanted to let her parents know. Mr and Mrs Smith were both business owners. Mr Smith owned several restaurants over the city while Mrs Smith had launched a salon business several months ago. Although they were both very busy they still had time for their only child. They adored Sophie very much and always wanted what was best for her. They had both dreamt of Sophie becoming a doctor but had always kept it to themselves; they didn’t want to pressure their daughter. Every Sunday the Smith family would sit down together for dinner and discuss their week. Sophie used this opportunity to reveal that she wanted take English to become a journalist. She did not get the reaction she hoped for. Both her parents had confessed that they wanted her to become a doctor and take science and they had been thinking it for a while now. Soon the disagreement turned into a “you don’t love me!” argument and so Sophie stormed upstairs to her room crying.The next morning Sophie got up and dressed and headed downstairs. She became aware that she was home alone and that her parents had left for work. On the refrigerator door, there was a note for her in her mum’s handwriting saying that, “we only want what’s best for you.” The night before, she had contemplated on the situation. She loved her parents dearly. They gave her everything, love, home and security and she new that. She never wanted to hurt them in anyway. But then she also had her dream that she wanted to fulfil all her life. It was what made her happy and she had earned her A* in English which she worked for restlessly.Sophie finally set off for Layton stone collage to put down her chosen subjects. But which did she choose? Journalism or medicine? Was she about to loose her life long dream? Or her loving parents expectations?  What would you do if you were Sophie?
