Little House in the Big Woods

My favorite part:
My favorite part in the story is when santa claus comes. It is about when the children in little house, Laura, Mary, Alice , and Ella wakes up on Christmas. Around their Christmas tree, it was full with PRESENTS. The children with a lot of excitment open them up in a hurry. They got dolls, mittens, and a long flat stick of red-and-white-striped peppermint candy. I have two reasons why I like this part. The first reason why I like this part is because of Christmas. When Christmas comes, you get presents, Christmas cards, and have a party in your class! All those fun things to do. And plus winter break! Fun! Fun! Fun! The second reason I like this part is because of family. You get to see your relatives just like Lunar New Year! You get to talk together, play together, and have dinner with people you haven't see for a year.

And that's what my favorite part is and why I like it.

The Middle Moffat

In the afternoon, it started to rain. Jane, the middle Moffat held an umbrella for the oldest inhaditant. As they went inside the house,the oldest inhaditant, B. Buckle said" Do you want to play Double solitaire?" "Yeah!" said Jane.
My favorite part:( Chapter 4)
The favorite part I like is when the oldest inhaditant in town plays the game"Double solitaire" with Jane , the middle Moffat. I have two reasons why this is my favorite part of thhe story. The first reason I like it is because my favorite game is Double solitaire and in my favorite part, it talks about B. Buckle playing the game"Double solitaire"with Jane. The second reason I like this part is because I saw some friendship going on. You don't see this kind of friendship a lot of times. Do you mostly want to play games with people your own age? Yeah. This is a special friendship because Jane, which I think is about 8 years old, plays a game with a 99 years old men, and they aren't the same age. So now you know why I like this part of the story.

Hi! My name is Michelle Tao. I am 23 years old. I come from Taiwan. I am an author in in Taiwan. I don't write Chinese books I write English books because I think Chinese are harder than writing English. You may wonder, why do you want to be an author? Well, that's because my favorite book called: The Tale of Despereaux, was a great book. It had lots of details, it desrcribed a lot about what's happening, and it was reward. I thought, well I love that book so much, now I am going to make a great book just like the book"The Tale of Despereaux". That's why I want to be an author.
I decide to name the book," The Small Giant. I wasn't alone on the book, my best friend drew pictures because I wasn't good at drawing and she was. She didn't understand English so I wrote the story and she did the drawings. It was my first time making a chapter book. I was so excited about publishing because I wanted it to be award, so I did my best, and my best friend did her best. Finally, we finished the book. We published the book and it was award! This was the best day every!
I wrote this book because it will that me become an great author just like the author of "The Tale of Despereaux". When I write more books the people will want to read mt books and I will be a popular author.

Which takes up more space... a pickle or a stomachahe ?

I think the amount of space a pickle can take is 12 grams. I think it is 12 grams because every small food can weigh about 12 grams. One food that takes the same the space is a little piece of cake. I predict it takes the same amount of space because it is a small food.
Next, what is the amount of space a stomachahe takes up? I think the pain of a stomache takes up a lot of space after you eat your dinner . There is a lot of food in your stomach so your stomach gets bigger and then you have a stomachahe. That's why I think it takes a lot of space when you have pain after dinner.
I think when you get a stomachahe it takes up more space. My first reason is because a pickle weights 12 grams and a pain can't even be measured in grams, so it has to be more than 12 grams. My second reason is that anyone can tell which takes more space by thinking if it is a small or big food or stuff we use.
