A Pencil Box
Sample Object Writing (Nusrat -Grade 10)
“The blue pencil box sat quietly inside the school bag. Its corners were worn from years of use, and small pencil marks decorated its surface like secret drawings. When I opened it, the familiar smell of wood, graphite, and eraser dust greeted me.
Inside lived sharpened pencils, colorful crayons, and a ruler with faded numbers. Every scratch on the pencil box seemed to tell a story about homework, classroom laughter, and hurried exam preparations. It was not just a container for stationery; it was a treasure chest filled with ideas waiting to become words and drawings.”
Look Carefully!
Imagine your oldest pencil box.
It has travelled with you to school every day.
