the trumpeter of the swan
In English class we are reading the book 'the trumpeter of the swan'
This book is famous for children, and the movie was also made by this story
This is about the trumpeter swan Louis, he can't talk like other sisters and brothers 'ko-hoh'
so he decide to learn English writing. After he learned English, he still can't communicate with swans, because they can't understand it, so he was very
Disappointed. so his father decide to give Louis a trumpet, so he could speak 'ko-hoh'.his father didn't have any money, so his father stole it from instrument shop, when Louis knew that his trumpet is stolen from the shop, he decide to earn money and pay it to the shop, so he worked at the camp where Sam(he is a boy who helps Louis) went in the summer, and he worked in Boston in the lake, playing trumpet, as he can write English and can play the trumpet he became a very famous swan and ............
We read it to this place.
In my opinion, Louis is a very cheerful swan, because even if he can't speak but he tried to write English to communicate, and I think he is a very honest
Swan, because when his father stole the trumpet from the shop, he thought that's not right thing and tried to pay back the money, and worked hard
And I think this swan is better than some people, because some people, even if they know it's guilt, they stole money and explanative things.
Swan tries to learn how to write, try to pay money for his trumpet, this story is little bit strange, but i think it's a good book.

Evaluate myself!
In this semester, I think I read a lot of English books than last year and lots of movies, so I improved my hearing and reading, and my writing skills were better than before.
I think I should have done speaking better, because, I think my speaking level is bad, but I didn't talk very much in English class,
So my speaking didn't have improvement. In this year, I think I will get low grades, because I didn't talk in English very much, or almost didn't,
And I think my essay that I wrote in this year were not very good. (Even though I think it is better than before)
I think I should still be in B Advanced, to improve my English skill, and then I should go language A
I still have to improve my English lot more, but I have a little bit of improvements, so I am quite satisfied with my English!
Study hard for my better English!!!!!

'West Side Story'
In English class we saw a movie called 'west side story'
This story is also like Romeo and Juliet, but in movie the man who seems Romeo, called Tony,
The woman, who seems Juliet, called Maria.
This movie is like Romeo and Juliet, but it is little different.
It is like musical, because in the movie, there are lots of singing, and dancing.
The story is same as Romeo and Juliet, but it gives me different feeling.
I like the song they sing and dance
So I think this movie is very special!

Romeo & Juliet
Romeo and Juliet
In English class, we are learning about Shakespeare's novel called Romeo and Juliet.
So we watched movie about Romeo and Juliet.
We watched two different versions, modern and old.
In Romeo and Juliet, they love each other, but Romeo's family is Montague and Juliet's family is Capulet, Montague and Capulet are always fighting
Each other and hate each other. So at last Romeo and Juliet die because they loved so much each other.
In my opinion, from the movie I cannot understand how they could love so much at that short time, die for love,
But I think this show us what comes after fighting and killing each other, shows Romeo and Juliet's love.
I think two different versions modern and old one were both interesting!

Difference and semilaries between apple and orange
Apple an orange is different fruit, but we can compare them in many kinds of ways. I'll going to talk about apple and orange's color, uses, and shape.
Apples and oranges have many uses; both are eaten without cooking, but are also cooked or prepared in various ways. Apples have more uses than oranges. Apples can be used to make jams, juice, sprite, etc. In Europe, they put applesauce into sausage or meat. Oranges can be used for juice in many kinds of food like cookies, and are used make food more refreshing. Not only apple and orange, apple and orange peels also can use in many things such as medicine apple and orange peels both can be used medicine; help liver healthy
There are many colors in fruit. When we compare apple with orange, apple has more colors than orange. When we ask people what color is apple, than many people may answer red, but except red, apple has many colors, deep purple, yellowish, deep light green. If the apple has not ripped yet, it sight catch of little bit of red, and little bit of yellow. Inside of apple is yellow, but if you put apple outside long time without peal, its color became brown. Orange has orange, green color, inside the orange is orange, and there is white line.
Originally, apple and orange are rounded, but nowadays as science technology develops fruit's shape also developed. For example, apple has rounded shape, but it also has cube shape. Orange also has rounded shape, but it also has heart shape.
In conclusion I think apple is better than orange, because it has more color than orange, I think apple is healthier than orange.

Environment
Environment is not just means nature like trees and mountains...
It can be everything that around us!
So, language can be environment too!
My first language is Korean, not English, and not Chinese.
I can speak them, but not very well. I live in china, so I have to learn Chinese to
Communicate with Chinese.
At first it was very difficult learn and memorizing Chinese, and I wanted to live in Korea,
The entire environment that around me was not acclimated. When I go out, I can't understand everything. In school, also I can't understood
What teachers saying and I go to international school, so I have to speak, learn
English, because I live in china, so
I have to learn Chinese; that means I have to learn 2 languages!
I was very hard to learn 2 languages, so sometimes when I want to say some
Words in English, I didn't know English, but Chinese, but now it's better.
First time it was very difficult to learn new language

princess diary
'Princess Diary'
280pages
By Meg Cabot
In princess diary, main character who called Mia, and her father is the
King of Zenobia, but he's dead so his daughter which means Mia has to be a
Princess of Zenobia, but she didn't know that her father is a king of Zenobia, so
When she knew this affair, she was so surprised and at first she didn't want to be
A princess of Zenobia, but at last she became a princess. Originally, her clothing is very bad,
But the queen of Zenobia who is Mia's grandmother helps her to become a beautiful girl.
Even if she decided decision, but she became very happy at last!
I think she is very timid, because every time when she want to do
Or say something she didn't do or say anything, and when she has to announce
In front of people she didn't say anything, but when she smears ice cream to
Her bad friend (friend who everyday afflict Mia), even I felt very thrill!
I'm very expectate about princess diary2!
