ABOUT MY ESL TEST

Yesterday, the ESL test result came out. 4 people will go to main. I got 3E and 1D. Ms. Vesenta said if I try more hard just like Kevin do, she said I can go to main streum. After sheltered class, there is moneter class, that's where people who level up from shelter class go. Some might level down from moneter, but I think they can go to original main streum.



My grandmother told me when I come this school, if I go to main streum, she will going to give me some good things. Before this test, I really hate studing, and I didn't study with happymy feeling. Before studying was my enemy. After this test, my teacher suggest me to work hard and challenge main streum. Also Ms. Vesenta said, I can test again after Christmas maybe.



If I can take test again, I will study hard and I will challenge main streum. If I go to main streum, I can get many things good. Also it's happy for me and my english skills will go up.



Just yesterday, in math class, Amy said to us stupid shelter. After that, I feel like I am stupid
-_-, so I promised with my self to go main with good scores. Than I don't have to hear stupid shelter again, and I don't want to hear that too. If I go to main streum, I can do many different things. I can get some prizes from grandmother. I really want to go main streum, one way that I can go main is to study hard.



Also if I go main streum, I think I'll have to study more hard in main streum. My mother said the worst score in main is much much better than very good score in shelter. I don't think I have to get like F or that in main if I go. I will make goal to make everything to go over C, and make good scores. At first time of main will be hard for sure but if I go there, I will try hard and challenge my self in there.

I will study hard and go to main streum, and I will complete my goals in main streum.

How to write a book report

reviews are usually more persuasive (Why a reader should or shouldn't read this book). Both offer a combination of summary and commentary.
They are a way to think more deeply about a book you've read and to demonstrate your understanding.
Most teachers have their own requirements, and sometimes a specific format they expect you to follow, so be sure to check, but the following general elements of a book report or book review should be helpful.
Introduction
Here you want to provide basic information about the book, and a sense of what your report will be about. You should include:
Title (underlined)/Author
Publication Information: Publisher, year, number of pages
Genre
A brief (1-2 sentences) introduction to the book and the report/review.

Body
There are two main sections for this part. The first is an explanation of what the book is about. The second is your opinions about the book and how successful it is. There are some differences between reports on fiction or other imaginative writing and reports on non-fiction books.
But for both, a good place to start is to explain the author's purpose and/or the main themes of the book. Then you can summarize.
For fiction or other creative writing:
Provide brief descriptions of the setting, the point of view (who tells the story), the protagonist , and other major characters. If there is a distinct mood or tone, discuss that as well.
Give a concise plot summary. Along with the sequence of major events, you may want to discuss the book's climax and resolution, and/or literary devices such as foreshadowing. But, if you are writing a review, be careful not to give away important plot details or the ending.
For non-fiction:
Provide a general overview of the author's topic, main points, and argument. What is the thesis? What are the important conclusions?
Don't try to summarize each chapter or every angle. Choose the ones that are most significant and interesting to you.

I didn't have fun Friday, because of one Korean word.. I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really hate art class. I used to like art class, but one strange teacher has been art teacher. It is terrible and horrible.

How to be a good reader???

I read a book name Rapunzel. Rapunzel is fairy tale book. I read RAPUNZEL by way that wiki how showed us. It said↓


1.Get a library card and be prepared to spend a lot of time there browsing. Libraries are wonderful places to find a variety of books.
2.Find a quiet, comfortable place to read so that you aren’t disturbed. Make sure it is somewhere with good lighting where you can relax.
3.Pick reading material that interests you. Read the backs of books or the inside of the dust jacket for a brief summary of the plot.
4.Find a book that's comfortable for you to read. Skim the first few pages--if you have trouble understanding what the author's trying to say, you may not enjoy the book.
5.If you have trouble visualizing the story, pay attention to the introductions of characters and places. Try to see each in your mind. 'Seeing' the story will make it more real to you and easier to remember.
6.Try to take the book you're reading with you wherever you go.
Return to the library regularly to get new books to read.

I took time to read like that, and I read Rapunzel very fun and quiet.

★Summary of Rapunzel☆

Once a pone a time, there was one wife and husband. Wife has baby, so husband promised himself, he will do what ever does wife said. One day, wife was sitting on a chair and look at the flower Rapunzel which is in witch's garden. She told her husband to get that. Husband knows that is not good, but he did it for wife. The wife eat her Rapunzel salad, but soon she longed for more Rapunzel. The husbang went to witch's garden again, but witch caught him. He bagged to witch, but witch sasid"you can take as many as you wanted, but when your child is born, you should give me. Husband thought she will forget it. He take Rapunzel and give to wife. When Rapunzel was born, witch doesn't forget it. She named her Rapunzel and grew her as her mother. After she grew, wutch make a high tower and put Rapunzel inside of that tower. Once a prince from nearby kingdom saw Rapunzel, and he promise to marry with her. But, the witch caught it. Witch make prince blind, and trow him away. Prince and Rapunzel met again, and they married in prince's kingdom.

★My oppinion☆

I think the wife is not really good to his husband. Also I think husband is not really good, because he promised with witch tat he will give his child to them. I can't understand that wife and husband, because theychanged child and Rapunzel.

Over. Thank you for reading it.

Essay topic writing( why do we have fire drill)

Fire Drill is practicing of fire. I don't think we should have too much Fire Drill, because it's not real fire situawtion it's just practicing. I think fire drill is more important than studing, because our life is more important than studing or that kind of thinging. I think that kind of things are important, but we shouldn't practice so much. Also we don't need fire drills because there are not many serious fire, so we don't needed it much. Fire drill is good. Studing is more important than fire drill.

(edit)

events

Today we had fire drill in E block. Fire drill is little bit fun, because we don't have study.



emotion

I was happy because of fire drill. (edit later)

Topic writing.( topic2- favorite sport)

My favorite sport is tennis, because the best sport I can play is tennis, and tennis is fun. I started tennis when I was young, and I didn't play for long time. Now I started to play tennis in 1 years ago. I like to play tennis with my father in weekend. Some weekend, my father is busy so I can't play tennis with my father, I play tennis with my self. Sometimes I heat the wall, and sometimes I play with my friend who can play tennis well. My friend sung-gyu can play tennis well, so I often play with him. Tennis is difficult sport. Also tennis is dangerous sport. In1 years ago, I play tennis so much, so I got tennis elbow. Tennis elbow is problem that happens in elbow muscle, so if we use drop shot or strong beck hand, our elbow will very painful. Also we cannot use elbow for half year.(if is serious less than 2 year)
Also I like soccer, because soccer can kick away the stress. I like kicking ball when I was 6 years old. Soccer is fun and make us healthy. I play soccer very often, because, I can only play tennis in good wall, or friend. That's why I play soccer when I feel alone. I play soccer often, so I like soccer. I play soccer with my friends. My friends are good at soccer. We make a team and we verse each others. It's fun to play soccer with my friends. I like to play soccer with My friend too, and they are my best friend in Korean school.

The third sport I like is basketball. I like to play basketball with my friends too. I like basketball, because it help us to grow and also it is fun to play. If I want to play basketball, I have to go my Korean school. When I'm not busy I play sports a lot, and I enjoy it. We make teams just like soccer and we verse each others. In winter, when we play basketball, we can throw the snow, so it's more fun. Also we doesn't have rule about sliding. We only have rules about feet. We cannot use our feet. We can use our feet to sliding. I like basketball very much.

I like to ride snow board with my friends. In winter we went to mountain and ride snow board. Some of them ride ski, but I ride snow board. It's little bit dangerous, but we enjoy it. It's dangerous so we wear survivor uniform. Survivor is have a fight with gun like war, but it's not very dangerous, because we wear good uniform and we use BB gun or AP gun. We also wear the goggles.
I like skate boarding too. I like to play fighting skateboard. I can ride skate board well. The game call fighting skateboard is fighting with stick with riding skate board. If we fall in skate board, that guy lose. The final winner got Duk bok E(떡뽂이) for a prize by last 3 guys. skate boarding is fun. I really like skate boarding.
When it's fall, we play baseball. My Friend Ean Tay always lead the teams. He is very very good at baseball. He can throw the ball well and he can catch ball well. I envy him in baseball.
I like sports very much. It helps me at growing and healthy. Sports are useful. I like sport!! I like sports!!
