School curriculums are very rich and efficient. It may have many activities that may go on to help our children in their

While good grades and academic excellence surely takes a child places, knowing how to conduct oneself,

gather your daughter’s friend is
quite insecure and perhaps even

with your daughter. She is obviously
using inappropriate ways to keep other
friends away from your daughter
so she can have her all to herself.
Basics of striking a great, appropriate conversation
O
ther than our homes, school is the perfect place for our children to learn
social skills. With many other kids present around, it is easy for kids to con-
verse and talk freely with other co-students. However, for our kids to be
good at striking conversations, they must be taught certain skills and techniques.
When it comes to communication, there are many things, rather etiquette that
children must keep in mind. This goes on to come in handy when they grow up.

especially at schools where they spend most of their time. Learning

Lanka will look to trouble batters for early gains in tricky clash
F
ormer champions Sri Lanka
will look to exploit Australia’s
top-order woes when they
clash in a group 1 Super 12
match of the ICC T20 World
Cup in Dubai on Thursday. Sri
Lanka, who had won the title
in 2014, topped group A with
three successive wins before outwitting
Bangladesh by five wickets in their first Su-
per 12 match. On the other hand, the Aussies,
who are yet to win the T20 World Cup, scam-
pered home in the last over against South
Africa after being reduced to 38 for 3 while
chasing a modest 118 in their opening match.
FINDING FORM EARLY
WILL BE CRUCIAL
Skipper Aaron Finch made a duck, while
David Warner, who is going through a tough
time, too was out cheaply once again and
Mitchell Marsh also found the going tough.
A good start is half the job done and the two
Australian powerhouse will need to strike
form quickly when they face the wily Lankan
spinners. The ever-reliable Steve Smith stead-
ied the innings after the initial stutter against
South Africa and his performance will be the
key as the tournament progresses. Finch will
also expect the power-hitting Marsh to find
ways to score in these conditions.
Glenn Maxwell, after a good run in the
recent IPL, bowled four overs to pick up a
wicket and provides the skipper more op-
tions with the ball and also with his explo-
sive hitting.

SMITH WILLING TO DROP

Smith is willing to change his batting order
in the “scrappy” tournament to suit the
requirement of his side. Almost all teams
have struggled to go past the 150-run mark
so far in the ongoing World Cup as the pitch-
es are not conducive for stroke-making.
Smith, who usually bats at number three,
said he is aware of the different requirement
and won’t mind if he needs to drop down a
bit, if situation demands. “(My role is) a little
bit different to what I’ve played previously.
My job is just to fix it if our top order don’t
come off and build a partnership with whoev-
er I’m in with at that stage,” Smith said.
“If our top order do go well, the likelihood is
that I’ll slide down the order and let our big
strong boys attack it. That’s essentially my
role. I think I’ve done it reasonably well in
the first couple of trial games and our first
game against South Africa. “I know what I
need to do, the rest of the team knows my
role, we’re all very clear on the way we all
want to play. That clarity is there, it’s just
about us all going and doing it.”
In a small chase of 119 against South Africa,
Smith was Australia’s top-scorer with his
35-run knock coming off 46 balls while bat-
ting at number four.
