8th grade Exhibition


It was a yesterday's Language Art class, we discussed our final project. And we decide present to all school. which time will be day A morning during all school meeting time.When I heard that, my brain was totally dead. Because, I always feel nervous and afraid at presenting to all school. I haven't done this kind of big presentation in my life before.

Next day, D-day is come which is presenting day. when I arrived school, I was so nervous. Because,I have to do presentation to all school. sigh.. yes, this is part of learning that how to do better presentation. while I going up to 5th floor, I met my classmate. He said he also felt nervous, because, he is in ESL class. But, we cheered each other for luck. As soon as I get in to the 5th floor, I signed my name on the sheet and saw Jim is setting a projector and sound systems. I felt like wanna go into little hole or hide somewhere but well, I have to do for my grade.

when the bell was rang at 8:00 AM, Mr.Ruskovich start announcements and SRC special events were came out and gave us a announcements. It was fun and they made me to forget some nervous.

Now, the time is come, Everything is ready ! I was reviewing my index card that what i'm going to say. Well, i think i was hide my nervous, But teacher knew that i'm preety nervous now. And He came to me said " You are the leader right now, don't be nervous just show them what you have." But, i couldn't forget the feeling of nervous. Because, two Jack's laughing really big, it makes me to get more pressure. Anyways, the presentation started, I'm the second turn. My presentation will be short video clip.As soon as first person finished, I connected my computer to projector and started. while I explain about my presentation, I saw lots of teacher's focusing to me, two Jack's are still laughing which I don't know why and I saw my girl friend sitting with her classmates. Wish I'm same grade as her. Becuase, She don't have this presentation today. I just wanted hide somewhere while i'm presenting. As times go about 2 minute later, I finished my sentence and showed my video clip. It was really fun movie with rock music. Everyone felt really high at that time, when I saw their face I was happy and high too. Because, I made them to fun and enjoy.

After I showed video clip, everyone gave me a big clap. I don't know what to say about that feeling. It was like i got a price of some competitions or got all "A" on my grade.I think, I learn lots of things from all school presentation. I learn that "I CAN DO IT". before I start, I didn't know I can do successfully, but after I finished, I know I can do it.

Where- Si-chuan and Bei-chuan, China

Article Cell Phone


Cell phones are one of the greatest invention in the world. Almost every one using cell phone every time, either texting, chatting or wathing TV. We have right to use all of technology anywhere and every time. But, in my personal opinion, i don't think cell phones help for learning educations. It might be help for only some part. According to what article said, a high school in Craik, they are using cellphone's chalendar and alarm for class. But, those of things are pretty small for positive prove. Cell phone has more functions insted of chalendar and alarm for class.

One thing i was think is texting message during a class. It's really easy to do that. Most of teens remember all the cell phone key's or functions, which means it's possible to using cell phones during class and it's very rude for teacher. Students must pay attention to what teacher says.


I think, Using cell phone in school is also issue in our school too. When teachers saw some students using cell phone during school, they always yelling them to not using it.

Other then yelling or argueing between Students and Teachers, How do we solve these issues?

Our school using website called "Moodle" for cheak our schedule and works, which helps a lot for students to remember their works. Another solution is that when we saw some people using cell phone during school time, take their phones to office and give back to them when schools end. which is 3:30 for our school. Well, some people will say that taking cell phones are pretty bad. But, students must follow schools rule, All the rules are stands for following and respect.

what can you do to change the world ? Part 2


Based on what i spoke on first time, Whole my ideas are focused in Global Issues.
As we know, Global issues are pretty important now and some bad happens came to us directly.
For example, last few weeks we had bad happens in Myanmar and China.
Myanmar had huge cyclone and all peoples in Myanmar, they got into panic. Same happen in China, They had big earthquake. They lost their family, House and all the systems that can connect with community. Right now, they are scare at another disaster. All of dams got little crevices so, people now sure when does dam going to break it.
The following disasters are really scare and we can't guess when these kinds of terrible situations came to us. But, we can try to fix and change it.
Here is what we can do for our earth.


First, Make sure all the country develop some kinds of Environmental Issues.
What i mean by develop is make less pollutions. Air pollution is one of the reason why we have Global Warming. All kinds of fossil that we using everyday is cause of Air pollution. We can't stop using now. But, we can try to use less. For example, when you go out. try to use local transport systems. People might think using bus with lots of people got more CO2. But, One person drive a car and lots of people using bus at the same time, the amount of CO2 is almost same.
So, country who got weak transport systems, they must make it more organize.

Second, Try to save our resources at home.
Most of people forgot to turn off water when they brush teeth or using shampoo. these are wasiting water. another example is people usually forgot to unplug their electonic product. It's waste electricity. As you can see, lots of basic things are easy to forget our society. But, those of things are wasting resources, we don't have infinte resources, we only have amount of resources. As soon as we keep it, we can use longer.
Other then environmental issue, their are lots of solution for changing world. But, the reason why i more focused on environmental issue is becasue, Environmetal is one of the thing live together with us as a friend. as soon as we polluted them, they'll mad at us, See ? the following results are really hurt our society. Before more big happens come to us, we have to think and countrol.

Write about all school presentaion

- When i heard our task, One idea was strike me out which is write about my experience before.
But, i had to write as a 8 grade student. So, i used 8 grader's last presentaion to all school. While i wrote my story, i planned my self to do make great transitions between time by time. For example, Day before presentaion, Before presentation in the morning, During presentaion and After presentation. Also, i add some people who always laugh during all school presentation time. It sounds more like realistic. I think this activity is simmilar with report or short version of autobigography. Because, write based on what we felt during presentation. For me, it was hard to write. Because, I wasn't sure what kinds of feeling do i get usually when i have to do some presentaion in front of all school.
But, If i had more time to write, i will make short outline with some specific ideas that can help to build my feelings during presentaion and the following result will be more organize then now.

Well, this is our first time to write this kinds, wish we do more activities like this time and i want write more organizely.

Fiction on the Web #2

This time, i read two stories from Fiction on the Web.

First story called "The Lady By The Pond".
This story is like autobiography. It starts with some fleshback.
Author starts when he was with his dad and wrote lots of different stories what he had been.
So the readers can get a pretty good sence of story.

I think, style of this story is well organize by 6 traits . Because, All the character's are simple and well explain time and setting too. It doesn't matter how long is the story about. It's more important that how to follow basic 6 traits while we write a story.

Second story called "Over Coffee, Monday Morning".

While i read second story,i found pretty interest in it. Because, it's a more then 95% is same as our life. We got up in the morning and have some hair gel, stop at coffee shops and go to work.
This is way how business man doing now. and it is quite fun to compare between our real life
and story. It will be little differences between eachother.

I think, this story is really intereting. Because, it relate with our real life and well explains with some dialog too. So, people who read this story, they'll definelly looking back their life.
