11ESOL | The River - Opinion

In Esol, we are reading a book called "The River". We're reading this because we need to improve our reading and speaking skills. Every time we read the book, each students needs to read a part until the teacher tells them to stop. What I like about the book is that it is almost based on a true story even though it is not. We didn't read the hatchet (the prequel of the book) but the teacher made a small summary about the story so that we have enough time to read The River. So far, I have nothing I don't like in the book because it is good. 

What I learned in today's lesson is that a thing from the book where a person is in a coma, they can't drink or else if you force them, they'll choke. However, I don't know how coma people drink or maybe I think they put a tube on their mouth and they put the drink on the tube and it goes directly in their stomach. 

We were also learning about parallel learning of a essay structure. I already know how to construct an essay properly but what I want to learn is that how to write an essay. I still need to improve my writing because when I write, it's not that formal and the words that I used aren't that deep. What I want to improve is my vocabulary. Knowing more words makes writing easier because you don't have to explain the whole meaning of a word in a sentence.

ESOL - What is the song about? (Eagles - Desperado)

 For our ESOL class, we've been acting up on things based on the topic that our teacher gave us. This time, she gave us the topic 'Desperado'. Me and my group tried to think about the scenery and the acting and I think it went alright. Then the next group performed and then the another one. After everyone acted, our teacher played a song called 'Desperado' by Eagles and she told us to blog about what we think the song is about. 

I think the song Desperado is about a desperate person trying to get up in life. The lyrics shows how it is  trying to ease the person's pain.

Wananga Reflection

This week in school, I have to study which I don't usually do. I studied because we had our first maths assessment on Wednesday morning and Thursday morning. We also have a science test coming up on Monday but the teacher suggested that we can do it on Wednesday. However, I decided not to do it on Wednesday because I don't want to do two test in a day and I don't have enough time to study for it especially the test has a lot of writing and memorising to do. On Thursday, we went to school in mufti according to our house's color which is yellow for my house. We also had our first two periods normal. But around 11 am, athletics day started for those who are in social (not competitive). It was boring to wait for our turn yesterday because each of them have gap for around 30 minutes. But we did some games because doing nothing for 30 minutes would be boring. And then, we ended school normally in Thursday. This Friday, we didn't really do anything, everything is the same as usual. This also went the same on Monday and Thursday.
