Dragon Rider

My favorite part is when Firedrake, Ben and Sorrel find other dragons. Why is it my favorite part? That is because Firedrake and his friends can know that there are not only dragons at their home, there are also other dragons at other places.Firedrake can also prove to the dragons at his home that there are dragons at the other side of the earth. In my life, I wanted to see real dragons. After I finished this story, I thought , why, there maybe dragons at the other side of the earth! Do you think I am right?Who knows, there really might have!

Books

Which book do you like the best? What kind? Fiction, non- fiction, mystery, or adventure? I like a lot of books. My favorite kind of books is.......... adventure? Some people might think...... I hate adventure books? Well not you might not! Right now I am reading a story called " Dragon Rider". It is by Cornelia Funke. Her books are super great! You ( readers) just have to read! I predict you will like it very much! I have read Inkheart, Inkspell, Thief Lord all written by Cornelia Funke! Read it! If you read it, you can post a comment in my blog! I would like to know if you enjoyed it!

Music

What kind of music do you like the best? Pop, Jazz, or Country music? I like pop the best! When I hear pop music, it makes me jump and dance! There is not just one way you listen to music, you can also play the piano, drums, recorder or the guitar! I play the piano. Every time I play the piano, it makes me think that I am on a huge stage, and that everyone is listening! When do you listen to music? When you sad, happy, scared, nervous or sick? I listen to music when I am happy or sad. I listen to pop when I am happy, and jazz when I am sad. Music is part of our life! We all listen to music almost........everyday!

Is it fair..............or not?

Last week, the art teacher told my classmate to bring supplies for our graduation chair. The graduation chair is something we do at our school. We have to decorate it as cool as you can. So, my group begin to talk about who should bring what. Because I was sick that day, so I could not discuss about it with them. When I went to school the next day, they told be to bring two 300NT spray bottles and one white and black cloth. Spray bottles is something you shake and the color you want comes out. It is very alike paint, expect you spray it, not paint it. I thought it was not fair. I would have to spend about 700NT on a chair. I told my classmate about what I thought, and she said," You did not say that yesterday!". After I got home, I discussed about this problem with my parents. Then,I wrote a very long not to my classmate. At last, she understood the problem and said sorry. Now, it's all just fine!

Nancy Drew

My favorite part:
My favorite part is when Nancy Drew finds the will in the chinese box. Why is it my favorite part? That is because she can help people. She can help Jane and her father have money. She also can help people who are single mothers like her.

Super Great Movies

Last week, I saw two great movies, Equilibrium and Big Fish. Equilibrium is about a person's feelings. The master gave all the people pill, so that their feelings would all be the same. One day, that person did not eat his pill. When he didn't eat his pill he had his own feeling and so the master wanted to kill him. But because he was very strong, he did not get killed. Big Fish is about a father telling his own life story to his son. One day, his son doesn't believe him anymore, so he goes into his father's office and slowly finds the real him.

After the Graduation Trip

After the graduation trip, my classmates and I said,"It was soooooooooooo fun!" The graduation trip was really fun. That night, I couldn't imagine sleeping with my friends! At first we were really noisy, but when the teacher came to check if we were all asleep, it was quite. The next morning, we ate breakfast. I thought there would be bread, but there wasn't any bread. There was fish, hot milk, french fries, and fried pork. I wasn't really used to it! When it was time to BBQ, I got excited! After a few minutes, it was not so cool. Our group could not get the fire on. All I ate was a hot dog and a piece of meat! I was not full! So, I went to a food store and brought something to eat! After the BBQ it was time to go home.

My Graduation Trip

Next Monday, March 3rd to March 4th, I am going to have my graduation trip. My class and I are going to a farm, and have BBQ! i think it is going to be great! This morning I packed the things I wanted to bring , and it was full! I will need I bigger bag, I guess. Our schedule is : 1. We all get together at 7:50 in the morning. 2.

The next morning, we all wake up at 6:30 6. We look around the farm and feed baby cows. 7. we start to BBQ. 8. ( the last one) we ride the bus back to school! This is our schedule, and I hope the weather is good. P.s After the graduation trip is over, i will write a blog again !

Winter Mountain Lake

This Saturday, my parents, my parent's friends,kids and I went to Winter Mountain Lake in Ilan, Taiwan. Winter Mountain Lake is a park and a place to practice riding a 2 wheel bicycle or a 4 wheel bicycle. When I arrived there, I saw a store that rents bicycles. You can rent one for 100 nt every two hours. At first, I wanted to rent a bicycle that had four seats, then my dad said that I needed to practice riding a bicycle, so I rented a small one. When I started riding a 2 wheel bicycle, my dad controlled me. Then my mom said," Michelle will not be able to balance herself if you go so slow! Let her have her own speed!" At first, my dad did not listen, but when his friend told him the same thing. he listened. I could go as fast as I wanted. Soon, I got used to it. My mom and dad try to let go of me. Although I fell down a few times, my dad told me to get up. That was the time when I almost gave up. I threw the bicycle on the floor and found a chair sit. I felt really tired and angry. After a few minutes, my mom said," Don't give up. " So, I did not give up. I got up, and started riding. I did not fall down this time! Not at all! When I went pass my parent's friends and kids, they said to me," Well done, Michelle!" It made me feel proud. After a few minutes,I fell down on a bridge. " It's okay.", I said to myself. Keep trying! Now I know the things you can do from preventing the bicycle form falling down. First, you get one feet on the bicycle and ride. Second you put the other feet on the bicycle. Last, you put body straight. Remember, ALWAYS keep your body straight and look forward! When the two hours was over, we went back to the store to return our bicycle. All of us voted that I should come to Winter Mountain Park again next time!

The BFG

The BFG is about giants and people. There are nine giants and there names are Bloodbottler, Fleshlumpeater, Meatdripper, Gizzardgulper, Maidmasher, Manhugger, Bonecrunching, Childchewer, and the BFG. Every giant expect the BFG(Big Friendly Giant)eats human. The BFG thinks it is wrong to eat humans, but does the other giants care? NO! One day, the BFG goes to give children sweet dreams, and Sophie saw him? Any human bean that saw any giant, must be taken to Giant Country. So, the BFG took him. Together, they are going to sto ppthe ginat from eating human beans forever!
My favorite character is the BFG. That is because he is so nice! He not only cares about humans, he also give human happy and wonderful dreams. Best of all, he stops the giant from eating humans! I wish I was sophine, so I could sit in his ear, I watch everything. I would be so great!
P.s This is the second story I am writing for the ball thing!

Why?

Why? This is how everything started. I was playing with my cousin, when he showed this ball thing. When you pull the ball on the playing card, it turns into a dragon. This ball thing goes with a TV show. So, my cousin was playing and he asked me if I wanted to buy one. I said I wanted to buy one. The problem is, I don't have money! Then my mom said that if I bought the toy, I would have to write three stories. Why three stories? That is because when I write a stories , I get 50NT. The toy costs 150NT, so that means I will have to write three stories. Here I am, writing a story. This is the first story i will write out 3. Ok, now lets talk more about that ball. The ball has different color and different meaning for it. For example, I bought the blue ball, which means water. When you use this to play games. Each ball has a number. The higher your number is, the stronger your ball is. So, I brought this ball and it's number is 250. Not very strong. I think the highest is 550.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Fantastic Mr. Fox is about three very rich farmers and twenty-nine animals. Those animals includes foxes, beavers, yellow mice and rabbits. One fine day, when Mr. Fox was going out to find food for his family to eat, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The three farmers shot his poor little tail! Ever since that day, any animal that came out of that hole where Mr. Fox and his family lived, would be shot! The problem is, how will all the animals that live in the hole find food to eat? Dig under the hole. So, Mr. Fox and Mr. Beaver dug to the below the three farmer's houses. This, is Fantastic Mr. Fox fantastic story!
In this story, my favorite character is little fox. That is because he helped all the animals get soda to drink! He's such a kind little fox! The character I hate the most is the rat. That is because he is very, very selfish and have no manners. For example, when the little fox and Mr. Fox went to get soda, the rat told them to get away, so that he could drink soda alone. So mean!
The ending of this story is that the three farmers, still sitting beside the hole, waiting for the animals to come out and be shot. I think this is a boring ending. If I was the author, I would make the ending more fun. I would tell the reader if any of the animals was going to get killed. Or maybe the animals had built an underground castle! This is what I think should be changed. Maybe the real author should really change the ending!
Do you know? This book was written by Roald Dahl! He is one of my favorite authors! I have read many of his book, For example, The BFG. I hope my school will let as read it sometime!

Piano Concert

Next year, I'm going to have a piano concert . What should I play? Hmmm......................... My father wants me to play High School Musical, and my mom, wants me to play Mozart.

Well, anyways I'm practicing Mozart ,and I feel like I'm a musician!
