A Kids Movie

#15 Review a Kids Movie

Its school holidays here is Australia - the second week has raised its head and I know many parents are seeking entertainment for the kids.

Even if you don't have children - go and see a kids movie - there are a few of them out there at the moment that are lots of fun and have some pretty deep messages. As always, most kids movies have in built adult humour - so go and borrow some kids - and give mum a well deserved break - get out - get some pop corn and see a flick.

The humble writing implement

#12 Pens

Choose a type of pen you may not have used before or are unfamiliar with – and take it for a test drive. There are all types of fountain pens, ballpoints, gels and roller balls to choose from – so go into one of those delightful shops hidden away in an arcade and look at the wide array available.

Your task is to provide helpful information to pen buyers within a monthly office supplies type magazine – which strangely enough – has a pen column in it!!. Be specific and tell your audience why you feel a pen deserves the ratings you have given it, and what makes the pen different from others you have used. The more specific and helpful the review, the more likely it will assist others in choosing the right pen for their needs.
