The Moon

The moon takes 29 days to orbit the earth once, it about one month. But it takes one years for the Earth to orbit the sun. Have you ever see the moon and wonder why there’s dark and bright spot on the moon? Well there craters, so where do  crater come from? From asteroids, asteroids are big rock in the sky, and when one hit the moon it created a hole call crater,the crater on the moon will stay there forever because there no air on the moon. Do you know that the earth looks pretty from the moon, astronauts explored the moon by bring moon rock back to Earth. Now i’m going to talk about how the moon changes shapes, the moon change shapes from a new moon to a first quarter then a full moon and then the third quarter. you can not see the new moon, let’s say if you see a full right now, that that means that after a week you will see a quarter moon have you ever wonder why the moon change shapes, after all the moon doesn't really change shapes well it’s because the sunlight comes from here to the moon it reflect back to earth so we see a full moon, but over here the sunlight does not reflect back to earth so we don’t see the moon in the sky, which is the new moon.

What is the best movie you have ever seen?

      My favorite movie is The Rise of The Guardian. There are lots of characters in the movie. There is Jack Frost whose centers are fun and joy. Sandy gives kids sweet dreams.  North sends gifts. Easter bunny hides the eggs and gives hope. Tooth fairy collects teeth. Pitch Black creates nightmare and fear.

      The movie starts with Jack Frost waking up from the lake and his staff is covered with frost. When he touches the tree, frost spread on the tree. Then he finds out he can fly and flies into the sky. One day the man in the moon chooses him to be the guardian of the kids. He then meets North. North tells jack that no one believes in him and if no one believes in him he will be invisible.

       Pitch Black is creating nightmares and fears and the guardians are trying to defeat him. Pitch captures baby tooth fairies and destroys tooth fairy’s castle. Everyone helps the tooth fairy by collecting teeth from under the kids pillows.

     In the end, Pitch Black is almost winning but Jack Frost come with Jamie and they have some fun instead. Then all of Jamie’s friend come and join them in the fun and they defeat Pitch Black.

If I Can Have Three Super Powers What Would I Choose

       If I can have three super powers, they will be telekinesis, shape-shifting and time traveling.
       If I have telekinesis I will do a lot of things that I want. For example, I can turn on the fan and make it come closer without standing up. I can also make sure that enemies do not come close. All I have to do is to imagine closing the gates and the enemies will be trapped.
       If there is danger, for example a bad guy is chasing me, and I have shape-shifting power I can turn into a lion or a dinosaur and scare them away. If there are monkeys stealing my food then I'll turn into a monkey and take it back. If my kite is stuck in the tree then I'll change into a giraffe and take it back. I can also change into a another person for fun.

       If I can time travel then I will travel back in time or go to the future. I like traveling back in time better because I can see how I grew up. I can also go back to the time when people still speak Latin and find out how to speak Latin. And I can travel to the future and find out what is my future work. I get to see future technologies and bring them back to my time.

The Day At The Swimming Pool

       We went to the swimming pool yesterday. We didn't park our car in the parking lot because it is too expensive. It is about NT$50 every hour. We then changed to another place. Finally, we arrived at the swimming pool and changed into our swimming suits.

       At the swimming pool we played at the small waterslides. I wish I could ride on the big waterslides but those are for adults. We played in a pool that was really deep, but I could still stand in it with no problem. Then we went to the hot spring that has lots of different scents (rose lily etc). And we went to the cold water area. Kitty wanted me go to the small pool but I didn't want to because it too small. Then when we finished we went to the steam room and changed back to our clothes afterwards.
       After swimming, we went to eat dinner (spicy duck meat diner). We passed through the famous bakery nearby. Then we got home at 9:00pm and we watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I drank juice. Then me and Kitty ate a bit of dad's dinner.

Me and My Friend (It's Just a Story)

       "Isabella, do you mind to walk my dog today?" I asked. 
       "No thank you. I have project to do today. I don't have time." she answered and ran away.
       I started laughing. I knew she wasn't busy, she was just scared of my pet dog. 
      
       I have a friend named Isabella who is scared of almost everything. Sometimes, even a bug can make her hair stand on end. Once I told her a secret of mine, but she spilled the beans when the teacher asked her about it. "The teacher was really scary," was all she said when I asked her why. But she loves to read scary books and she always has her nose in those horror books. We are the best of friends. We always help each other. Whenever I ask  her to give me a hand she always says yes! We also like to make things together like books, cards, robots and bubble water. We are just like two peas in a pod.

They found that it was more fun to play together. Then they went to the park to play hide and seek and a game of catch. They got hungry so they went to get pizza for lunch. Mickey gave them a final surprise by taking them to a baseball game. Finally, they saw the fireworks. I think the story is exciting.

Christmas Day Ho! Ho! Ho!

Four years ago, there was a Christmas party at my Kindergarten. All of my classmates, teachers, the driver and the principal are There. On that day the driver dressed up as Santa Claus and gave us candy (jelly). It was funny when the driver dressed up as Santa Claus and he went, "Ho! Ho! Ho!" Then we exchange gifts. I got a beer shaped money bank and I gave someone chocolate. I like exchanging gifts the best.

A Trip to the Zoo

Today is a really lovely day and I'm really excited because we are going to explore the zoo. My mom told me to keep an eye on my little sister. Some cute animals caught lot of people's attention, like the rabbits and the sheep. I saw someone muttering to himself, "I want a cute animal too. This rabbit is all I have ever dreamed about." I thought it was so funny, I accidentally lost my footing. My dad said, "What's so funny? Have you completely lost your sense?" I wanted to see the penguins but they dove in the water and didn't show up. I felt awful because I thought the trip was ruined. Then I saw my mom gestured me to come over. I refused at first, but I still went over in the end. I was speechless when I saw the cool coyotes. The trip was saved! I couldn't stop thinking about the trip even after we got home.

The Other Day at the Beach

It is crucial to warm-up before swimming. If you don't warm-up before swimming, it's hazardous! I am flabbergasted every time when I walk on water. I saw some  lazy and prosperous people reclined on the beach.

Our Vacation the Beach

Today we went to the beach. There are lots of seashells that come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors. I saw a seashell that has all the colors of the rainbow. I wonder why one of the shells has curling tubes? The wind at the beach was strong so I had to comb my long hair. I also saw seagulls with long wings flying straight toward the sun.

My Day to the Roller Rink

I'm heading to the roller rink today. Because it's raining today, I'm using my friend's umbrella. On my way there, I saw a pink pig washing itself in the mud. I also saw a horse without a saddle. I think it was really funny so I laughed really hard. Then a red bus suddenly stopped ahead of  me. I jumped up in surprise and the bread in the bottom of my lunchbox fell to the ground. Someone beside me said, "Be careful!"

My Time with Kitty

Almost every night, before we go to sleep, Kitty and I play for awhile. We play with our dolls. We have a lot of dolls, but we only play with the rabbit doll. This is how we play the game.

Summary of Coyote and the River

It was a beautiful day and Coyote decided to go for a walk. Soon, Coyote began to feel hot and wanted more shade. Then, the sky looked stormy. But Coyote was still hot, he wished for it to rain. Then it rained heavier and heavier. Coyote wanted to cool off his feet. Next, a brook sprang up right beside Coyote. This is how the Columbia River was created.
