What have you done well this year in English? Where should you have done better? Reading? Writing? Speaking? What grade do you think you deserve, and why? And next year, should you be in English 8 B Advanced, or English 8 Language A? Write a blog entry in which you discuss and answer these questions.

I have done many things this year. I think I have done better in speaking. Because I think I was kind of mess up in my essay, which is about the book that I read, not that group and individual one. From reading, I didn't read book everyday. I got many Updas. But laterm it's getting better and better. I think if I read a book which I like, than I read every day. But if I see my list, the book which I gave lowest mark, I had mant Updas.

I think I got about 6 or 7, if maximum point is 10 in writting. Because before I had English test, I did some plan at home. So, if I minus some mistakes and wrong grammer, I think it's about 6 or 7. And I think I got about 8 to 9, if maximum point is 10, like writting.

Next year, I think I should be in English 8 Advance class. Because I worked best that I can and work hard this year.

Today is Green Day. I don't know what is green day, but everyone wears green(well, almost everyone).

First, I thought Green Day is the day when we plant trees. But that day is Arbor Day.

So, I researched about Green day. And I found out there is a rock band name 'Green Day'.

And in other information says, Green Day is on August 14th and on that day, couples go to the mountain and go out for cool down on summer.

Maybe, just SSIS have Green Day to wear green clothes!

Or not...

There are a lot of different version of Romeo and Juliet. And I think those are very interesting, because I think how they changed original one to different version is interesting.

1936. I don't know big difference...

1954 and 1966 one,

There is 1968, which we watched at English class, and I don't know huge difference either...

There are also 1978 one,

1996 one, we watched at English class. Big differences between original one and this are, there comes out gun instead of sword and balcony scene is become swimming pool scene.

And there are 2008 one. The title is 'Romeo and Juliet get married'. It will release at 2008. 04. 17!

It's about: Romeo is an ophthalmologist, who live with grandmother. But, Julieta is very brave woman who love soccer by her father, who success business man and fan of Palmeiras team. They meet at soccer arena. They are falling love each other while they cheering their own team. But Romeo's grandmother saw Romeo is at Julieta's cheering seat, and Julieta's father know Romeo changed his identity and he is become cold hearted to Romeo.

So, in here, Capulate is become Julieta's father, Montague is become Romeo's grandmother, Juliet is become Julieta and the fight between Montague and Capulate is become soccer play!

The picture of this 2008 one is Korean, because I get this picture from Korean website.

Interesting...

I made tickets for my drama props.

And ofcourse, we can't use them but I want to.

The reasons why I made these tickets are; from our drama, with Ji Weon and Yi Su, me and Ji Weon will go to the cinema without Yi Su. Because she says "I need to study. Because I got 96 from last exam. So I need to study." And we don't want to study, so we just go to the cinema with movie tickets.

Maybe we can change ROmeo and Juliet valcony scene to Romeo and Juliet slap sticks, we can use our speech(O Romeo...) in to our play!

 May be....

My Empty brain

7R Jiin

My empty brain is like Mr.  everyday.

His thoughts are like bright andMacknight.

But unlike me he's thinking shiny sunlight.

But when I think then ideas go away.

And Mr. Watson has a genius brain.

Sometimes I forget what is the date today.

But he can think as fast as the train.

While I can think as slow as turtles say.

My empty brain is like an empty room.

If furniture called "ideas" come in there,

They're swept right out the door by my brain broom.

And I have to search for them in the air.

I know my brain's no better than a doll's

I know what I'll do: I'll set a goal! 

I got this song from Angel on 27th of July. I think this song is so great, because if you see this lyrics and you can imagine the sound of this song. And if you want to hear original sound, meet Angel! (I afraid she forgot!)

She said, "you can sing this song when you fall down" I guess.

Oh song

Did you know that Willy Wonka chocolate from movie is really exist and you can also buy them?

I didn't know this. But when I was in America, I saw Willy Wonka chocolate bar from the candy store! It was exactly same as chocolates bars from the movie!

I wanted to buy one of those, but when I saw the back of that chocolate bar, Willy Wonka's factory is Nestle. That bar is from Nestle.

My empty brain is like Mr.Macknight.

But I think Mr.Macknight is thinking everyday and everytime.

So I think Mr.Macknight's brain is no way to become empty brain.

So right now, I'm thinking about how to write this.

And it means that I'm thinking now(like Mr.Macknight), so I don't have empty brain anymore!

Does it make sense?

Non-identical; Oranges and Apples

7R       Jiin

Non-identical is not look same each other but they are in same group of people (or animals). Oranges and apples are very different in many things but they are same group, fruit. And I will explain what is different between them in uses, costs and history.

We can use apples to make many things. In Korea, we can make apple punch and apple juice in drink. In food, we can make; apple cookie, apple bread, apple pie, apple salad.

We can use oranges and apples to make and do many things. For example, we can make apple punch and apple juice to drink. We can also make apple cookies, apple bread, apple pie, and apple salad. We can use oranges to make orange juice but we can also use oranges to help reduce environmental pollution. Oranges can be used to make bathing powder, bathing oil, mosquito repellent, perfume, ant repellent, and household cleanser. They can also be used to keep brown sugar soft, to protect the leaves of household plants from cats, and to make delicious oil.

As you can see, we can use oranges and apples to make and do many things.

And I think we can use oranges to do many things for house and we can use apples to make food.

            Oranges and apples are quiet expensive. In Korea, apples are about 5kg in 250RMB, 10kg in 400rmb, and 15kg in 700rmb. It is much expensive than China.

And in Korea, there are oranges that just produce in Korea, called Han La Bong. And that is about 3kg in 300rmb and 5kg in 400rmb.

I think oranges are much expensive. Because same 5kg, but oranges are 400rmb and apples are 250kg.

The history of apples and oranges are also different. The first trees to produce apples were located many thousands of years ago near the modern city of Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan. The Greeks were growing several varieties of apples by the late 300's BC, and the ancient Romans also grew and loved the fruit.  Researchers have even found the charred remains of apples at a Stone Age village in Switzerland. European settlers brought apple seeds and trees with them to the New World. Records from the Massachusetts Bay Company indicate that apples were being grown in New England as early as 1630.  In 1796, in Ontario, Canada, John McIntosh discovered a variety of apple which is today enjoyed by people around the world.

The orange has a rich and diverse history which dates back to the 10th century when it was introduced from its native environment of Southeast Asia to the Mediterranean region. Arab traders had originally provided the southern Europeans with the sour varieties, but the Genoese exposed them to the sweet variety in the 15th century.

            In conclusion, they are same in someway. It is both delicious, both can use in many things, both expensive and both have long history. But in other way, it is different. Apples are more expensive than oranges, and apples have longer history.

Since September to December, I learned about does environment affect to us, if environment change do we change too and how to write an essay.

I learn if environment change, we change too. Because I was changed when I was move Korea to China.

I also learned how to write essay. Because I didn't write any essay before and didn't learn from the academy or by tutoring. In essay, it has three main parts; Introduction, body paragraphs and conclusion.

I think I learn many things in this semester.
