Intrapersonal

Which character would you like to play in the movie version of the novel.

I would like to play Bob Ewell because Bob Ewell acts as a bad guy in the novel of "To kill a mockingbird". I would like to play a "bad guy" because it is very interesting as you will be acting of a character which has the totally different personalities as me. Playing a role of a bad guy is not going to be an easy task and it will be challenging, hence I would like to play the role of Bob Ewell.

Introduction of mockingbirds

Mockingbirds are a group of New World passerine birds from the Mimidae family. They are best known for the habit of some species mimicking the songs of other birds and the sounds of insects and amphibians,often loudly and in rapid succession.


Habitats of mockingbirds

Their favourite nesting habitat is dense, low shrubbery adjacent short-grass areas where they can catch the insects that make up most of their summer diet.They are also common birds in farming areas, where they often set up housekeeping in fencerows, on pasture edges or around thickets surrounded by open fields. Mockingbirds have benefited from man’s settlement and are rare or absent in heavily forested areas. There are many more mockingbirds in Arkansas now than when DeSoto became the first European to see this land in 1541.

Maycomb

I think that Maycomb has lots of open areas as well as many fruit trees as the Mockingbird prefers living in an open area and feed on fruits and berries.

Multiple Intelligence test

The multiple intelligence test showed that my highest scores are Naturalistic and Visual followed by Logical. I think that it is true because I enjoyed learning Geography which talks about the Earth's nature and Maths which consists of pictures and numbers.

I myself loved learning about different types of flora or fauna, which includes my favourite flower, the Rafflesia which is the largest flower found on the planet. I also enjoyed doing Maths because it gives me a sense of sastifaction when I am able to solve a real difficult question.

Title : Charlotte’s web

Author: E.B.White


Charlotte’s web is a very interesting story. The story is mainly about how a spider calls Charlotte saves the life of a pig names Wilbur. The book is not very long and it attracts my attention easily and I finished reading it in a few hours. I highly recommend this book to others as it is a very touching story.

There was a young girl named Fern. She saved a little pig called Wilbur when her father was planning to kill it as Wilbur was too small to be sold. Fern kept Wilbur as a pet. Fern spent her free time with Wilbur the pig that she loved and the other barn animals that played a large part in the life of Wilbur. Soon, Wilbur grew older and bigger. Fern had also grown older and was more matured. She had more friends now and did not pay as much attention as before. As Wilbur had increased in so much size, Fern’s father decided to kill Wilbur. Charlotte, the large grey spider, befriended Wilbur and helped him deal with the shocking news that his life would end as bacon on someone’s plate. Charlotte went as far as coming up with an interesting plan that only this spider could carry out with the help of Templeton the rat (who never went anything unless there was something in it for himself) to help Wilbur escaped death. In the end, Charlotte was dead after giving birth to her baby spiders. But Charlotte was always remembered in Wilbur’s heart.

String Orchestra Concert

Now I will be talking about the concert which I had attended ast Saturday. This concert consists of people from our school as well as students from overseas like Hong Kong and Beijing, hence it was a golden opportunity for us to learn about the different play or style of music from different countries. All in all, I think the concert is very exciting.

Daily Life

Today, I will be posting about my today's LEP lesson. The lesson is rather "boring" as I am very tired after serveral hours of learning. The teacher taught us about the poems written by Wang Wei and it was indeed hard to understand like the Engligh Literature Poem which include "Tonnight I wrote the saddest line". We were also instructed to memorise the poems in five minutes and I only mangaged to remember two poems.
