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.

This remaind me about my lunch time at school that I have been eating the same food for more than fivr day at RIS canteen.
We are all like Harriet. We get into a routine and follow it forever, it seems. There's a saying in English: when a person does something over and over we say they are "stuck in a rut." When would you say it's good to follow a routine and when would you say it's time to do something different?
