At school, I feel......

At school, I have different feeling in different times. I felt happy with my friends. I have lunch with them. We share our secret and talking about it make a big topic of the day. I feel nervous when the tests or quizzes are coming. My heart pumping so fast, but then I calm down and relax to do well on the test! Sometimes, I feel overwhelmed because m teachers give me so much homework although I know that the want us to done all the things before the break so we could have a free break.
Other side, I also feel joyful doing my homework and project to get a good grade. In the morning, when I wait for the bus to come, I feel really sleepy! My eyes close, I could sleep everywhere at that time!
When I make a new friend or my friends help me with anything, I feel so peaceful ad cozy! I thought I have a best friends in the whole world. Sometimes, things do not went well with our friendship like we were fighting or mad at each other. I feel sad and trying to build up our friendship again!
Over all, I feel really happy and excited when I'm at school as long as I'm with my friends! If I get good grade, I'll jump out of my mind for my happiness and prepare for my trip to come back to Vietnam in one week!

School Transferred


It was last winter, the worst winter ever! I was thinking like that. The story was my parents said I have to transfer to another country and study at international school. When I was young, I never thought that I will transfer until I get scholarship and go oversea. I have to leave my entire good friend and my school. I was so nervous. The people in ISKL were not nice that I thought not every one). My classmates didn't talk with me, except we had to work in team. I used to eat lunch alone. I felt so lonely and angry. At that time, I missed my friends in Vietnam more than ever. I cried sometimes! I don’t want to talk with anyone about that or anything. When I came home, I just go to my room and doing my homework. I didn't tell my mom or dad! But in the end of 6th grade, my classmate began to talk with me more. Then I met Ayaka, Amalia, Anissa in my bus! We began to know each other and then we are good friends now. This year, I'm not shy anymore, now I become talkative! I know more friends from other class. I'm so happy now!

My Writing Re-Telling Myth Reflections


In my writing assignment about Re-Telling Myth story, I think my project show Thinking Creatively because I wrote my writing creative as much as I can. I used different verbs, strong verbs. I am proud of this piece of writing because I did try as best as I could and tried to search the strongest words I could find. I could do better do better by describing and being organized about the story. More detail about the point of view of my character. The most challenging of this assignment is how to use the writing to describe our character’s point of view and their expression in words. In this project( piece of writing) that I have to apply more about description and more strong verbs and be carful about my past, future tense in my next writing assignment.

Just Desert Blog

Once upon a time, there was evil witch named Desser lived in the desert. Not like any wizard lived in desert, had black skin, curly hair, Desser got a white beautiful skin, black straight hair. Her dad was African but her mom was Asian so that why Desser got a beautiful skin! She always kept her hope on her heart that one day she will rule the world and become the most powerful wizard! Day by day, she eavesdropped other witches whispered with each other! “Guys, I heard there was a lightning pumpkin!”- One of the witches began to talk. There was the myth about the light pumpkin that who could use the pumpkin to make a desert and eat it (during Halloween at 12pm) will become the world’s most powerful witch. But if they got a light of the pumpkin, they will lose all their power and they have to stay where they were forever! An idea popped up in Desser’s head. She will get the pumpkin and make the desert. “It’ll so easy”- Desser thought to herself. Do you know why she was so confident? Desser was the popular chef in the Witch Desert’s World. Each desert she created could make the other people change their mind. The flour she used liked made in paradise. They munched slowly, closed their eyes, to appreciate the desert. The witches sucked their fingers after the desert. You could imagine how delicious it was NOW! That night, she reached her broom, tipped toe to the deserted forest. Desser only heard the foxes howl on the top of the mountain. Desser ran her left feet backward to get up the speed, and then flied up to the sky. She landed to the place called: “The pumpkin land” where she heard the witches mentioned. There were a million of pumpkins. Suddenly, Desser found a pumpkin. It was normal like the other one but when Desser came closer, it grew brighter. She put the pumpkin in her bag. Desser flied back, she flied as fast as the rocket with her broom. She was furious about may be someone will come and steal the pumpkin from her. Day by day, Deser just stayed at home, wait until to 31th October. Finally, the day had come. 12 ‘clock. Other witches go to party Trick or Treat, bring with them the pumpkin and candies. The bats came out of the dark cave, sing their celebration song! Only Desser stayed at home. She carefully, took out the pumpkin from her bag. Put into the table. She already prepared all the supplies she needed. Desser reached the knife come closer to the pumpkin. The coronProxy-Connection: keep-alive

appeared. Her evil eye like a red bull, her glare looked like prepare to kill somebody. Her pupils sharp like a shark. Onee hand holds the knife, one hand holds the pumpkin. Each time she come closer, the corona appear. Can not stand anymore, Desser spearded the knife up high, used all her energy, rush in to the pumpkin. The corona appeared brighter and brighter and then the pumpkin disappears. Desser feels weak. Oh Noooo!!!!! She lost all her power. Now, she just stayed there, no talent and power. Just desert where she lived in!

Why Write?


We write and other people write because they know writing is really important. People know how to write so they could create wonderful novels, books, song and poems. By these we use to sing and use everyday! For example: Diary. If you don’t have anyone to share or our bi secret that you don’t want to share, you can write in your diary and keep it. My mom always writes a letter to me after she mad at me about grade, study. In every letter, she sorry because she was angry and started to scold. But all she wanted was to help me better and she wants me to know that. I still keep all the letter. I think we write because we want everybody to know what we are feeling by letter or keep it in your diary.

The different between Pandora and Orphan Boy



In Pandora story and the Orphan Boy, I think the most important similar point is that both of the stories the curiosity is negative and dangerous. I think is the most important point because first in Pandora box story, Pandora because of her curious she was opened the box. The box brought all the disaster for the world. Worldwide have to stand and prepare all the disease, envy, betrayed… The world will not or I can say can not live peacefully with other like before. Zeus wanted to punish the people, that why he told one of the gods make and gave Pandora the box and the curiosity.
In the Orphan Boy myth, the old man and Kileken was living together and happy. Suddenly, the old man’s curious couldn’t stand anymore. It was liked the volcano, wanted to blow up everything. After, he found out Kileken’s secret power that Kileken used to survive and Kileken was gone. The old man respect Kileken like his son, the best son he have had. He left the old man alone with his loneliness forever. Pandora had to regret a lot about what she has done because of her curiosity. The old man had to live with his loneliness forever without his favorite and only son.


About the different between those stories, the most different point is that the gift Zeus gave Epimethius which was Pandora and the box was the punishment to human. But Kileken was the best gift for the old man. He helped the old man survive during the drought, take the water, did all the morning chores and farming thing. Pandora opened the box that brought all the disaster to worldwide. That shows how evil Zeus was. Kileken was the best and luckiest gift for the old man. He had a happy time with his son. Kileken was done his best. In Pandora myth, Pandora was also dangerous. She broke the love between Epimethius and Prothemeus( younger brother and older brother). Zeus gave her the box but she didn’t know what inside the box! But Kileken was the old man gift and he knew!



My Pandora Wordle



In my wordle picture about Pandora in our myths stories. I choose fifteen words that describe about Pandora and the object influence her life like box, beautiful, lovely, hope, and despair… The biggest word that I made was Curiosity. I made that word biggest because in the story, Pandora’s curiosity made her opened the box bring all the disaster, disease, envy and a lot of bad thing. It’s a theme of the story that is the most important point. The word that I made bigger than the others was Hope. When all the disasters cam out of the box, Hope was the only thing inside the box. Pandora let him out so worldwide have hope to do everything. All others words is not important as those two so made it smaller! In conclusion, I want to say that the most two important things about Pandora are curiosity and hope. It made so much trouble for the world and Pandora!

Anh Book Report Reflection


In my book report the project that I did was the diaries keep by the main character named Eddie. I choose diaries because in my book, Eddie was met five people he has to meet in heaven. I think my book is kind of boring because it talks about old people and the happened that happened around real life like betrayed, love, and job… But it was help me a lot about how m point of view about the world and the old people, how to forgiven people although they did many bad thing to you or our family! If they know their mistake and improve it so we can forgive each other, we will live in peaceful world! Like I said before, my book was boring so next time I’ll get a funny and humorous! And probably not so many people died in he book! About m presentation and the project, I think it was fine! One thing that I did well is that I tried as best as I can, I did practice a home and enough eyes contact. One thing that I need to improve on is talk louder and more confidence because in my presentation I still have not really confidence and less pausing!

My Memories



I have a lot of memories related to my items that I always keep in my mind. But like every one else, I also have the top two of my memories. And talk about the specialist so its have to keep most of my memories and relate to others thing!

I’m a strong girl, so I’m not usually cry and cry because of little thing like when I fall down or hit by someone. But only one item could make me cry right after I read it. It is my old friends created for me. They are Vietnamese. About nine months ago, before I arrived to Malaysia, my class had a party to say goodbye to me. In the party, they gave me that book. We named it “Friendship’s book”. All of my friends wrote about our friendships, how we meet each others and they sent me all their love and happiness. They show their pictures and profile to make sure I will never forget them. How sweet of them! And like their wish, I would never forget them- my best friends. Sometimes, when I saw the book, my tears appear because I miss them so much. Then I open it and read over and over again!

My second best memories item for a long time ago was my hamster. I still remember the winter two years ago, it was Chinese New Year. My mom and I walked to the temple near our home. In front of the gate, there was a hamster seller. He sold a lot of hamster and all different style. Suddenly I saw a cute little hamster with brown and white hair. I was begged my mom to buy and she nodded. I named her Kiko. I took care of her everyday, fed for her, made sure that the cold air can’t come through. After one week, I had to travel in a trip to Thailand with my parents for vacation. I was worried for Kiko. I couldn’t leave her alone so I pleased my grandma to tokk care of Kiko for me. I told her carefully how to take care of Kiko. I felt fine then I arrived. I called my grandma every single day to ask about Kiko’s health. Two week later, my grandma called. She said Kiko died because it was too cold in Vietnam. I shocked. I cried. I can’t believe it happened. My grandpa made a small grave for her so every year I can visit her. I still love her so much and I hope she doing well in heaven.

My Name Blog


My name means peace and safety in English. My grandfather decided named me that because he wanted me to be a peaceful and safe girl! It was a Vietnamese’s popular lawyer. She was great and I know that my family wants me to be grateful like her! My cousins’ name all begin with an “A”.For example: Anh,An...

The advantage of my name is that easy to say (call). So if I have to study overseas, everybody can say my name. My name has another thing that it’s not easy to make fun of it! My friends can not think of another word to make fun of me. But every name has a bad point. Mine also has too! It’s a lot of people name as same as me. Someday at school, some people call: “Anh”, I always turn back or say: “Yeah?” although they don’t mean me! How embarrassing!

Like I said my name is hard to make fun but my friends made fun of it one time! When I was in third grade, they called me: “Anh Pig” because I was too big at that time! They kept saying that whole time. It was made me so upset and angry. I punched the guy who created the name! After that, my teacher was really mad and screamed that I can’t do that ever again.

I like my name because is pretty and the meaning is beautiful! And it was a name of a great woman: I’ll be a great woman like her and help people! But I don’t like it because so many people have the same name as me like that!

I’d like to create a new name for me! A cooler name like: Mia. I want my name is Mia because she is my favorite character in my Princess Diaries- my favorite book. It will fit me for my personality.

Phan Ku The Great Creator Summary


Last week, I studied about Phan Ku – a Great Creator of the world. I think the Chinese created Phan Ku myth because they believe that the world was create by someone. Phan Ku teached people how to build things. And I think he was a monster but a good monster. Phan Ku gave everything he had to the world. Only the world end when he was gone!

He was big a size like a giant so I draw him big and tall as much as the height of the paper. I draw horns curved out of his head, tusks jutted from his jaw, a lot of hair and he hold the chisel. I draw Phan Ku has a green hair because after he died his hair turn to plant life. The soil is brown so I draw Phan Ku’s body brown! In one hand I draw he holds the chisel so he can separate sky from earth. Around him I draw mountains, moon, stars, the earth’s dome which was his skull, the fleas that turned to humans, rain and lightning. I also draw a broken hen’s egg because he born from the egg! I draw the bridge that he taught people! I think when I draw Phan Ku I can understand more what was he look like and the things that he gave to the world!

Dear 7th teacher,
Art and Math are the most subjects I proud of. In Art, I'm not really good at create story content or storyboard but I'm fine with drawing. I can make new characters for each story. About Math, I could explain detail the question's problems. Sometimes, I can't understand the logical or mathematics questions. I'm not good at do the math in my mind. The grammar and Science is the biggest challenges because when I write essays, I still make mistakes. In Science, some vocabulary and " science words" make me confuse. After this year, I learn about myself as a learner is I need to finish all the homework and work in school. I have to attention to the teachers when they have announcement, some important things to tel us. In work habit, I need you to help me about organization. I don't really know how I organize the time to work on. In 6th grade, sometimes, I wasted my time so I'm not get work done. I have two personal learning for 7th grade next year that:
Goal 1: I will try harder about ESL, grammar, practice more in this summer vacation. Goal 2: I practice about math and attention to Science's teacher to understand what he/she say.
Beside, I want to study by pictures and explain by talking not only by textbook or review sheet. I hope I 'll have teachers who teach us carefully but also funny and make her/is class more interesting!
Sincerely,
Student: AnhDoDiep Phan
