    Hello, everyone! Today, I'm gonna write about compare and contrast essay. I am going to compare myself  and Akshadha from Banglore, India.

     First, I am gonna compare my familiy and Akshadha's family. Akshadha's father is a DHOBI. (DHOBI is a Hindi word for LAUNDRY WASHER.) He's been working in his working place(?) for years and he works for full days at Saturday and Sunday. He goes to the work at 7a.m. and leave at 8 p.m. He also works in the two hospitals for two days and then 2 days at home. He brings clothes to wash it at home, so that's 6 days.His working place is 2km away from his house. I'll talk about my parents

What I Should Do


Blog Checklist!

1-Daily posts about what's going on at GLPS (kind of like your English Diary), complete with
pictures taken from the GLPS website (or your own camera if you have one). 
3-A movie, music, or book review (or even one of each!) complete with video or pictures.  At least 200-300 words in length.

4-A discussion and investigation concerning a "viral video," where you post the video and find out some background information.  Some of you have posted videos (many) but haven't written about them.  Remember - a blog is for WRITING.  This should be 200-300 words at least.

5-An S.A.T. style reflective essay written about the short film "Spring."  You should have the video accompanying your essay so people can know what you are writing about. Here's a good example!

6-Your History presentations with pictures.

7-Have left at least 10 comments on 10 other students blogs (and not just "Hello!")

8-Diamante Poems with pictures.


IF you are done with all of that, why not keep writing?  Here are some ideas:

1-An "argumentative essay" based on what you are discussing in Debate Class.
2-A short story!  Try out one of the "Wacky Web Tales" in my links above.
3-Letter to your parents or a friend.
4-A poem about whatever you want to write about.
5-A poll about GLPS, with your opinion on something.

6-Anything you want! Your blog is yours and you should have fun with it.

The S.A.T Style Reflective essay-"Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring

 Hi, I'm Stephanie Yoon and I hope you enjoy my S.A.T style Reflective essay!!!

        I think the teacher monk is trying to teach his young student that even though it's animals, all lives are valuable as the humans.. That is my opinion and I agree with my opinion.. The teacher monk saw his young student what he was doing with the animals by tying some stones around their bodies. I hope he learned his lesson by doing the same things that he done to those animals.

        I'll tell you one of my experience that was almost close to the little monk did. When I was about 7 years old. I really like to catch the dragon flies and rip their wings and let it go in the air,(actually, I threw will make more sense..)and of course, they could not fly.(My mom and dad didn't know about this..)

        One day, I was walking to my home with my mom. I asked her to catch some dragon flies for me. So my mother caught a dragon fly and I played with it. I gripped it's wings tight so it wouldn't fly away. When I was trying to rip it's wings, it bit me! That's right, it bit me! It hurts when you get  bitten by the bugs.(Es pecially the dragon flies)

        From that day, I have learned my lesson. I promised myself that I would respect all the living things. I think my lesson and young monk's lesson have a similaraties. The only diffrence is that  I learned my lesson by a bug.. :<
 
       Looking back from now, I feel disgusted by what I have done when I was young. I feel glad that dragon fly bit me because, that really taught me a lesson. From now on, I swear that I will respect the living things. (even though it's a bug)

                                     Thank you for your time reading this essay.
                                                      Have a good day!!!!

Writing Chain: "Success is...." by Class 2NE1

            Hi! My name is Ayoung or Stephanie Yoon and my Writing Chain topic was "Success is...."
But the topic wasn't really related to the essay... :p Still, please enjoy my essay and please leave a comment!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE???For me??? Oh.. I almost forgot. I expected the words will fill up the whole pages,but actually...it isn't that full..;;So,it's not a long essay,but I hope you enjoy our essay!!!!


<<dosen't he looks similar to you??? He's the main character..hhh


     "Success is a result for working hard. Even though it's not a good result, if you worked hard,if that's when you feel happy, then it means that you are almost near to the success. Every one believes that success has to be a happy result." Peter read aloud. He sighed. Nothing seems legible to him. He put the book back on the shelf and tried to pick another book. The books made him bored and put him into sleep, but that was the exact idea why he was reading books. 'I need to get some sleep..'thought Peter. He opened the book and scanned the whole page. In a second, he noticed that there were 32 Is' in the whole page. "I wonder if anybody else knows that..' He thought.

       He finaly went to sleep. In his dream, he saw his family on the land. (In his dream, his real life is a sailor who has a lot of homesick.) The very next morning, Captain Columbus said, "Wake up!!!Wake up!!!" Peter didn't want to wake up, but he had to. He ate bisckets and cheese for breakfast. His job is to write a journal about the journey. Well, a real long one. He wrote some things on diary.

       "Dear diary, today I woke up in a ship with Columbus. Also, I had to eat bisckets and cheese. I hope I'll survive..." He wrote. Then he had to do all the work on the boat. One day, some of the crew's hair started to fall out and their teeth crumbled. Also, some of them were already dying!!! That night, when he was in the ship, he's hair started to fall and his teeth started to crumble. The other crews told him that he was going to die in alot of pain. There was no cure for this sickness unless he eats pig's booger(gross!)and monkey's brain, grinded. He was scared, and then BOOOOOM!!!!!!! The ship was circling around when he woke up on his bed at home. 'Whew~' he thought.

        'Good thing that it was a dream' Peter stood up. He was a 17 years-old boy who dreamed alot about having the adventures over the sea. But recently, he hated himself by dreaming all of those. 'It's just a rubbish dream that can never happen...!' Peter told him self, and decided not to think about it anymore. He started to wear his uniforms. He's youngest sister, Lucy peeked through his door knob and said,"Don't tell me that you dreamed about another sea-sailing dreams."

         Peter mumbled,"I wasn't..geez lu. Why are you so obssessd with my dreams?"

        "Because, our dad's not coming back forever! That's why! Even though you say he is lost in the sea, it dosen't mean tht he is alive!" Lucy told him.

         "Lucy's right, you know.." They turned around as their mom came to Peter's room.
         "Susan, Edmund, Lucy, and I are getting used to this life with out your father, but why can't you?" His mother spoke in the sadness.

          Peter said nothing and he stormed out of his room.
