The Lady or the Tiger?

While I was reading this story, I mostly try to picture in my mind what I have just read to help me remember what I read. For example, in the frist paragraph that discribe about the king and the country that he lived, I imagine the picture in my mind of what that country look likes and what knid of person the king is. I do the same thing with almost al the paragraph in the story. I also underline the information or ideas in the text to help me remember it becuase in all of the paragraph there are some important informations that the readers need to know to understand the story better so I underlined it. For exaple, in the first paragraph I underlined the sentence "There was no escape from the king's judgment." I think that this information should be important for me to use in story and I could know that no one could escape from the king's judgement. So the pricess could not help her lover to escape from this judgement. She had to choose a choice that she thing it will be better than another one. I sometime use what I have read and understood in the text to help me understand better what I am reading in the same text. I think this one is also useful for me because we have to use the things we knowed from the text that we read to help me understand the text that i'm reading. Lastly, I think about what I know to help me understand what I read. I think the background knowledge also a good strategy to use in the story. You might had read the story like this before so you could imagine the picture in your head easier.

This story is about a king from a faraway country that had a princess who fell in love with a young man that the king did not like. The king sent him into the prison and he would sent to the arena for the judgement after that. He had to choose between two doors, one had a tiger and another one had a beautiful girl which he had to marry with if he open that door. The princess elped her lover by giving him a signal about what door she wanted him to choose on the day of the judgement. At last, he chose the door that the princess chose for him.

I think, the princess chose the door that had a the beautiful girl for her lover because I think that she might not want to see her lover died in front of her. Although her lover had to live with the others girl but at least he still alive so she could see him, and maybe he would have a happy life which is also good. Loving someone is not mean that you have to be with his or her, you just feel happy when you see the one you love happy.

Harriet The Spy Chapter2

Harriet was going to school for her new semester after the vacation was over. She noted all the things new that happened in school in her notebook that she always use. After she came back from the school, she asked the cook for a piece of cake and a glass of milk as she always does. Then, she talked with the cook about herself as a spy and everything she know about the cook. After that she went back to her room and work for her job as a spy.

I like the part that talked about the sandwich that Harriet always to school everyday, "'Listen, Harriet, you've taken a tomato sandwich to school every day for five years.'"(page25) It seems interesting for me to think of someone who eat the same lunch everyday for five years. It also reminds me about myself and my friends about our lunch in school. We always go over to the RIS canteen and eat almost the same things every day. But after five or six times, we want to find something else to eat and after a day, we just came back and eat the same thing again which is the "Yum Wun Sen." That people will know what is it but I don't know how to explain it in English. If you are interested about this food, you could go over to the RIS canteen and have some.

Harriet is a kid who always doing things in the same way everyday. It happened again when she came back from school, " It was time for her cake and milk. Every day at three-forty she had cake and milk. Harriet loved doing everything every day in the same way." This quote answer me about the question I had before about how Harriet could eat the same thing every day? It is because always do the same thing every day which I can not. I will be bored if I had to do the same thing every day and I think most of people also think the same way.

i-phone girl

There are three pictures of a Chinese girl, who work for the i-phone factory in China, in a new i-phone that a man bought from a store in London. After he found these pictures on his phone, the girl became popular on the website. Most of the people blame the factory for the thing that had happen but the factory still not fired this young lady because they thing that this is not her fault. We know that the new phone has to be clear and had no any photo on it. It still affect the company but the girl did not take the picture herself, someone else had done it and that is that person's fault.

I think there's so much interest in her because people are usually not heard this kind of news so often. Especially for the i-phone which come from the famous brand name and big company . So people became what to know who she is and why the phone could had her pictures on it.

As I said, I think she did not do anything wrong because she did not take the picture herself. The one who's wrong is the person who took the picture and forget to delete it from the phone.

using reading strategies to read excerpts of "The Telephone" by A.F. Ancawi.

To use the reading strategies when I was reading experts of the "The Telephone" by A.F.Ancawi, first I have to choose the strategies that I will use for reading. This time we do as a class and we choose the strategies to make the purpose of reading, create the prediction of the story, reading slowly, and reread when we don't understand which helps us a lot for reading experts this time. When we use these strategies, we concentrate more on reading and also understand more about the story and the idea of it. It also helps us to practice reading and make me think that reading books in English is not that hard and boring. I feel helpful by using this strategies and I think it also helpful for all of us.

Harriet The Spy 1st chapter

This week I started reading a book called "Harriet The Spy"written by Louise Fitzhugh. I bought this book last year in a scholastic book store. The first chapter is about the main character, Harriet, and her friend, Sport. They are talking about the games that Harriet likes to play. This game called, Town, the way you play this game is to use all your imagination to create your own town, your own characters and the places in your town. Give your characters their name, family members and jobs and also the activity they are doing. Harriet is explaining her own town game to sport who sometime shock about the idea the Harriet had create to her town. After they play, Ms.Ole took both of them to her mothers house. Her mother is a big woman who is wearing the dress with a big sweater. The house that she lives is very small only have a bed, a table four chairs and kitchen inside. Harriet felt pity to her and was about to write it on her notebook that she carried with her all the time.

After I read about the part that Harriet and Sport were playing the town game, I was thinking about the game that I played. It on the website and when you create your own town, you give it a name and then, you let other people click on the link of your own town you will have more population in your town but one person only can go into the page once a day. After your population is enough you could upgrade your town's transportation and technology. When I begin to play it, I thought it is a fun game to play. But after I play it two months I became to think it is boring. I think the town game that Harriet played was a lot interesting than the one I played. If I have time, maybe I would try the town game that Harriet played.
