My Ending For The VIllage By The Sea

This blog entry is for English ace assessment. This is my second entry for term two and I hope that I will be able to finish all the blog post within this week. Three months later, the family was now staying in a brick house where their old house once stood. Although it was not very fancy, there was enough space for the family. Beside the house was a big chicken coop and in it, there were five big hen and two roosters. "Hari-bhai, there is a man at the door!" Bela said to Hari, who was feeding the chickens. When Hari approached the man, he said," Are you Hari? Can you fix my watch?" Hari nodded confidently and the man handed him his watch before going away. Hari told him to collect his watch the next day. Just then, his father came back from his work at the factory and he was carrying a dog exactly like Pinto. "Pinto!" Bela and Kamel exclaimed excitedly. "Found him beside the road and thought you might like him. I am sorry that I made you lose your last dog." their father said. Then he turned to Hari and said, "A friend of mine from the factory wanted to buy half a dozen of eggs from you. He asked how much do you charge for your eggs." "Two eggs for a rupee," Hari replied, eyes glinting in excitement. he had a feeling that their lives from then on was not going to be hard anymore.

Nothing But The Truth

This blog entry would be for English Ace Assessment. After the five blog entry for term 1, i would be trying to finish my five blog entries over this two weeks. I hope that i will be able to finish! Let's start with the first required blog entry. I am required to place myself in the shoes of a character in Nothing but the truth. After much hesitation, i have decided to be Mageret Narwin in Chapter 12. "That Malloy boy better not sing again today,” I muttered under my breath as the announcement was heard over the intercom. As the national anthem started playing, i strained my ears to check if Philip was singing again. To my horror, the sound of a boy's voice was clearly distinguished over the tune. I asked him if he was singing again but he replied that it was his right. My blood was boiling with anger that moment. Even when i told him that it was very disrespectful, he argued that i was the one who was disrespectful. I simply had enough; i had no choice but to make him report to the principal's office. That is all for my first blog entry for the first term. If you have any comments, please feel free to comment on this blog entry. Thank you for spending your time to read my blog.

My Primary School

This blog entry would be for English Ace Assessment. In this blog entry, I would be blogging about my primary school as well as my CCA. My primary school is Evergreen Primary School. I am sure that many of you have not even heard of the school before but never mind, because I am telling u now. Actually, my six years of Primary School was not only spent in that school. I transferred to Jing Shan Primary School in primary three due to some personal reasons but at the end of primary three, I was transferred back to Evergreen Primary School. When I heard of the news, I was elated! This is because I have many friends in Evergreen Primary School. At first, my transfer back was not approved but I met my primary two teacher and she helped me to transfer back. Now, thinking of all this, I felt very lucky. As for my CCA, some of you have already know that my CCA is robotics, which I think is an interesting CCA. It allows us to build our creativities skill and also photography skills. I look forward to my CCA every Wednesday and Friday. There goes my blog entry for term 1. My blog mission for term 1 is officially completed. Once again, if you have any comments to make please feel free and thank you for spending your precious time on reading my blog.

Adeline Ng Lai Choo

This blog entry would be for English Ace Assessment. I would be blogging about my opinion about the teacher in the short story" Adeline Ng Lai Choo" written by Catharine Lim. Sorry that I had only blog about this story after such a long time. Well now, many of you would thinking that the teacher is the" bad guy" in the story, but have you thought that the circumstances she was in when Adeline requested for the one mark? If you cannot do so, just imagine you are a teacher, you have just finish going through the test papers and a girl comes to you for one mark, would you give the mark to her? If you said no, like the teacher, you woke up the next day with your phone ringing, the principal telling you that one of your students had committed suicide, how will you feel? My whole point of blogging about all this is to tell you" It was not exactly the teacher's fault that Adeline committed suicide. If you have any strong disagreement about my stand, please feel free to comment on this blog entry. Thank you for spending your precious time on reading my blog.

Angles 2009

This blog entry would be for English Ace assessment. I would be expressing my thoughts based on Angles 2009 (workshop and finals) after attending the finals on the 25th of February. On the day of the workshop, we were briefed on how to write a speech. I found the PowerPoint presentation was very useful in guiding me on my speech. After the presentation at the drama centre, we proceeded to our respective classrooms with a student leader who is in charge of judging us during our respective speech. We were given a topic ”Money is the root of all evil” and given five minutes to prepare for our speech. As I had expected, I was not selected as I was not very proficient in English. During the finals, my classmate was first up with the speech” Speech is silver. Silence is golden”. Our class cheered wildly when he finished his speech. After the speech, I felt that I had learnt a lot from the contestants. I would like to thank Mr Tommie Chen for creating the opportunity for us to score 2 ace points. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to read my blog entry. Please feel free to comment on this entry.

The Village By The Sea

This blog entry would be for English Ace Assessment would be expressing my based on the short story "The Village by The Sea" by Anita Desai. I would be blogging on my thinking about Hari, the village boy who decided to go to Bombay, a bustling city to work and earn money for his family. I feel sorry for Hari as his father is always drunk with toddy and his mother is too sick to work leaving the children, Hari, his elder and two younger sisters to fend for their own, with a small piece of land which they grew vegetables on. Personally, i feel that Hari is very filial and cares a lot for his sisters. He is also very keen on learning new knowledge, like learning how to mend watches from an elderly man. He is also very intelligent and has long-term vision. I know that he has long-term vision from what he had said at the last part of the story. He wanted to open a chicken farm so that he can generate income for the family. In conclusion, i think that this is a very good book. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to read my blog entry. Please feel free to comment on this entry.

Lamb To The Slaughter

This blog entry would be for English Ace assessment. I would be expressing my thoughts based on the short story "Lamb To The Slaughter" written by Roald Dalh. I would be discussing whether Mrs Maloney is innocent or is she guity of killing her husband. In my opinion, i think that she is guilty of killing her husband as if she was innocent, she would not have devised or carried out the plan to conceal and destroy the murder weapon. Also, if she was innocent, she would have regretted what she had done and confessed to the police officers but she did none of these, so i think that she is guilty of her husbands murder. You may bargain that she only killed her husband out of shock but i strongly disagree. This is becauseif she really killed her husband out of shock, she would not have giggled in the end of the story. In conclusion, i strongly think that Mrs Maloney is guilty of her husband's murder. If you have any disagreements about my stand or additional points to make to my stand, please feel free to coment on this entry.Thank you for spending your precious time to read my blog.
