The Trumpet of swan
We are reading a nice book called"The Trumpet of the Swan". It is a nice peaceful book, BUT I HATE it! Because it is really weird. How can a Swan talk??!! How can they go to school and the president of school didn't even know?!!...etc. Many weird things happened in this novel. When the cob knows Louis is a dumb, I thought he will abandon Louis, but he didn't. I think Sam is a nice guy, he help Louis a lot, not just brining him to school, he also helped him to find a job too to pay his debt because his trumpet was been stolen by his father. I think this book is REALLY REALLY REALLY weird and amazing because lots of things that only human can do happens on this GENIUS swan. That's why I dislike this book and think it's crazy!

I like Sadako the most, because even she's going to die she is still optimize, so i think this is the way i need to be.

School(a sonnet)
I hide and hide and hide in my closet
I cry and cry and cry shouting"I'm sick"
Going to school makes me feel so upset
When I see the teacher I feel so weak.
Sleeping and chatting make me not so bored
I don't care if teachers are blaming me
I just want to say I really abhor
The thought of working all day like a bee.
The sound of "ding ding ding" finally rings
The smell of happiness finally comes.
I hope I can fly out fast with a wing
The children happy like a burning flame.
I happily dance back to home like a fool.
No school makes me always happy and cool.

War Between Apples and Oranges
Everyone eat oranges and apples, BUT have you ever compare apples and oranges? I think most of the people will say no. They both have different kind of shape, color, history, appearance...etc. So now, I'm going to compare them, see what are the different between both fruit.
Apples and oranges have different colors; apples have more colors than oranges. Apples normally have four colors: red, dark red, yellow, and green. When an apple is rotten, it will become black outside and brown inside. As for oranges, they have only two colors: orange and green, and they are green only when they are unripe. I think apples are more appealing than oranges when it comes to color, because apples have more variety.
Both apples and orange have different varieties, but which one has more? The answer is apples. They both have a lot of varieties but for the basic type, apples have more than oranges. Oranges have only three basic varieties. First are the sweet varieties. They are large and really juicy, but their skins are harder to remove than other kinds of oranges. Valencia and the blood orange are both popular sweet oranges. Second oranges, also known as bitter oranges, are mostly use for cooking or for orange liqueurs. Third are the loose-skinned oranges. They are kind of sweet and they peel easily and separate into segment easily. Apples, on the other hand, have six basic varieties: Golden Delicious, McIntosh, Granny Smith, Jonathan, Red Delicious and Rome Beauty. Apples that are green and crunchy are called Granny Smith. Apples that are red, crisp and sweet are called Jonathan and Red Delicious. For baking, Rome Beauty will be a good choice. Again, I think apples are more attractive, because of its varieties.

Apples and Oranges have different uses; but I think apples have more uses. Oranges, it can be for eating raw and juicing, but it still have a great range of uses, from salad to frozen desserts to marmalade, pastry making, and also cooking, oranges' peel can be use as an oil too, those are for sweet oranges. Bitter oranges are use to make marmalade, jam, jelly, syrup, and sauce. Apples, they are the best choice to make pie, juice, apple meringues, cakes, jam, cookies, pudding, sauce, rice curry, soup, salad and also be bake or an ingredient in dumplings! Cool! Apples and oranges they both can be for making juice, but only apple can make apple pie, orange can make oil. The reason why I think apples have more uses is because, people love to eat pie, but oranges can't make a pie, so mostly people will know apples more than oranges.
I think Apples and Oranges both have same value. If we are talking about the taste, I like orange more then apple, because oranges are more juicy and easy to eat it. If we are talking about the color and shape, I like apple more then orange, because apples are brighter and bigger.

Does Enviroment Change You?
Does enviroment change you to another person,or the culture and language of other country??
I live in Taiwan until Grade 4, because of my father, I move to China when i'm grade 5. At first, i thought China's culture and Language are same as Taiwan, but i'm totally wrong. Offcourse, China speak Chinese,but they pronounce the word in diffrent ways. Their culture and life-style are diffrent from Taiwan too, i change my life-style when i came to China, like; when i'm at Taiwan, i'm always happy when its weekend, but at China, i don't really like weekend because i don't know where to go or what to do. The time i go to school have change too, at Taiwan we need to be in school at 7:20, but at China 7:20 is the time that i'm eating my breakfast, i'm happy about that, but the first year i came to China i always wake up really early. At Taiwan i have more friend then at SSIS, i think its because SSIS is a International school so every student came from other country, its more harder for me to make friend from other country, but i always try and they are really friendly to me, because i wants to make more friend, so i also change ways to make friend. At Taiwan i speak Chinese at school, but at China i need to speak English, i'm not use to speak english when the first year i came to SSIS, but now, i'm use to speak English, and sometimes i even forgot how to speak Chinese.Now i need to study English at school and when i'm at home, i need to study Chinese.
Does enviroment change me? I think i'll answer yes, i really change alot when i came to China, and when i came to SSIS, my life-style, Language...etc have all change, i don't really wants to change, at first i thought i will not change my lifestyle but after one year, my life-style totally change. Its not bad to change yourself, just be happy all the time!:)
