Last week, my best friend fell over while we were playing basketball. He really hurt his leg, and I didn’t know what to do! I’d really like some advice about what to do in an emergency.

Camping looks so cool, but I’ve never tried it before. I want to find out what equipment you need and how to use it properly before I go. I’d also love to learn some survival tips to stay safe!

I think traditional Jordanian clothes are amazing! But I want to know what traditional clothes people wear in other parts of the world. Do they wear the same traditional clothes as us, or are they different?

I love going to fun places, like galleries and theme parks, but I don’t know much about the people who work there. What kind of jobs do they do? I think working in entertainment would be exciting!
- Dylan 1 day ago
I’ve always wondered why we have day and night. I’d also like to know why the seasons, like summer and winter, change. How does that happen?
- Sawsan 50 minutes ago
I’ve just read about Jordan’s national animal, the Arabian oryx. It’s got horns and it lives in the desert. I didn’t know that other countries had national animals, too! I’d love to know what some of them are.

Favourite Topics
1 Cooking
My favourite topic from last semester was the one about food! I’ve travelled a lot, so I’ve already eaten food from lots of different countries – and I love Jordanian food, of course. But guess what? I’ve discovered that I love making food, too! I’m not good at cooking yet, but I’m learning more each day. I’ve just started to write a blog on my laptop about my favourite recipes. I think I’m going to post them on the WOW! website!
2 Hobbies
Everyone knows I love sports, but that wasn’t my favourite topic. I wanted to try something new, so I started doing the gardening with Mum. I listen to podcasts while we work. I use my new headphones, which make it very relaxing. I’ve just begun to do photography, too, with my new digital camera. I take photos of the flowers and insects. I’m happy I’ve found something that lets me enjoy the outdoors in a new way. Can you guess what my favourite topic from last semester was?
3 Places
Well, my favourite topic didn’t surprise me. I’ve always loved learning about Amman, the city where I live. When I visit places here, I like to draw pictures or make models of them afterwards, especially the old castles and beautiful palaces. My dad gave me his e-reader, too. He’s got books about the history of Amman on it. There are a lot of them, so I haven’t read them all yet!
4 Technology
I’ve always liked using devices, so you can probably guess what my favourite topic was! I don’t use
my smartphone often, but I do watch videos and chat with friends on it. Last semester, I started doing puzzles on it, too. They’re fun but really challenging, so you have to think. It’s a great way to relax and learn something at the same time!
