Babe VS Wilbur

I found some similarities and differences between Babe and Wilbur when I saw the movie. The book and the movie are talk about “Pig”. They also described the friendship of the humans and animals. Babe and Wilbur had best friends to help them to be a special pig. Babe had a best friend - Fly, she taught Babe how to be a sheepdog or sheep pig. Wilbur had a spider – Charlotte to save his life. I also found some differences between Babe and Wilbur. Babe was braver than Wilbur in the movie because he saved sheep from wolfs and he became to a sheep pig and saved his life. In the book, Wilbur was afraid when he knew he wanted to be killing from Mr. Zuckerman. Charlotte wanted to comfort him and found the way to save him. I think Babe can have a better life because he was a brave pig; he will try to learn how to be a sheep pig and save his life.

Venice Beach

Venice Beach is looks like gorgeous scenery that is a beautiful, soft, active, I had never seen. I arrived at Venice Beach at 06:00P.M., I saw the sun sits on the water that was the sun went slowly back into the sea, the sky was painted in gold and many seagull fled in the gold sky. It seems like beautiful scenery. I stood in the beach shore; I felt the sand filling the gaps between my toes and heard the soothing sounds of the waves. The feeling was soft. In my left hand, I saw many people played the volleyball; sometimes I heard their scream and laugh. It looks like very exciting. I think I can go to play with them ever though I do not know how to play.

Improve

I already look five classmate’s blog. I though many classmates were improved their English, they were better than me of the writing skills or grammar. They sometimes will have a little wrong spells and wrong grammar. They always used many difficult words and I do not understand the meaning. I do not know it was a good thing or bad thing for them, but I though it was a bad for me. I know I must want to spend more time in my English. I also thought several classmate were never improved. I hope they will spend more time in the English.

Presentation

Today, we had presentations in the class and I found two things make me interesting. I thought Nammin’s topic –Shadowgraph can make me interesting because it was very funny. I can use my hand to make a lot of animals in the wall or I can imagine a special thing. This was very exciting. I did not know Japan also had Calligraphy before Shion told about the Calligraphy. When I was child, I learned Calligraphy, but I just learned one form that was normal form. Some day, I think Shion could teach me the other form from the Calligraphy. In the presentation I also found two interesting for me. It was Yut. I cannot understand what Yut is when she told about that. I did not know the history and how to play, which made me confused. Cycle Engine was also not interesting to me. It was not boring; I just cannot hear the information of Cycle Engine form Kazuma, but I though they will do the best in next time and I am looking forward to the next presentation.

I like Japan town – Little Tokyo because it is a nice place to visit, it have Japan cultures and it has some delicious foods. On Saturday, I went to Japan town - Little Tokyo, which had a Japan temple, Japan church and many Japan shop. It was very small but there was very beautiful and clean.

I bought chopsticks that have a pattern of sakura in the top. I also tasted toast octopus ball and Japan sesame seed cake. They were very delicious. I went to Little Tokyo, let me seem went to Japan. I like there.

American Bar

American Bar was boring place because it is very noisy, crowd and bad smell. I went to America Bar with my roommates in the Wednesday night. I did not order the green beer because I was sensitive to beer so I can not drunk, but my roommates all order the green beers and other beers. They were very like to drink. We saw some new friends when we were drunk. American Bar was very noisy, the shopkeeper also play Hip Hop music and too loud. I saw many people went to dance, I also went to, but I thought it was very crowd so I did not like that. American Bar had bad smell when I saw some people vomit. There was very dirty and bad smell. I thought I never will go back there.

Crazy!!!!!!!!

On Friday, my friends came to my home to have a party until this morning. It made me felt crazy! My home was really messy. There were many types of rubbish on the ground. They had been playing crazily. It made me felt angry, because I really hate to put thing in order. They put a DVD on the floor, they had been watching movie. They had been eating pizza in my living room. The most maddening thing was cups and waste papers; it were covered most of my home’s floor. They had been playing a drinking game. They made me felt really angry. Finally, I finished the arrangement; I just realized it was necessary to sweep the floor, because the floor’s surface. After this case, I won’t invite any friends to come to my home, because I really don’t want to clean my home difficultly again.

Farmers' Market rewrite

Farmers' Market is a great place for you to buy foods because it has many types of foods, nice smell and good taste. Farmers' market has fresh fruit and vegetable. The market also has delicious snacks that are raisins, honey red dates and many kinds of honey: apple, orange and strawberry. I smelt some balmy and pleasant air when I arrived at the Farmers' market. I thought the air seems like the grass if you lay on the grassland, you would smell it. I tasted and bought some honey that was very delicious, and convenient because you can taste honey anywhere whenever you like. I also tasted some oysters, it were very tasty. I like the Farmers' market, I enjoyed at the Farmers' market and I will go back there.

Farmers' market




I went to Farmer’s Market with my boyfriend on Saturday. I thought it seems like Hong Kong’s Market, but it did not open on the street. There’s foods were very fresh that look like Farmer’s Market. Do you know what is this? It is honey, which I bought in Farmer’s Market. It was very convenient because you can taste honey in anywhere whenever you like. It had many type of honey such as apple honey, orange honey and strawberry honey. The shopkeeper told to me, they used fresh fruits and a little flesh mixed into the honey. I taste it that was delicious. By the way, I also taste some oyster. It was very tasty. The shopkeeper was nice, I saw him to teach some customer how to open the oyster. However, I like Farmer’s Market I enjoy at the Farmer’s Market and I will go back there.

Most Difference

The movie was most difference than the book. The first point was Finn saw the convict at the sea in the movie. Finn’s uncle, Joe was a poor fish man. In the book, they were also poor but Joe was a blacksmith. The second point was his sister was leaved them. In the book, Finn’s sister was death. The important point was Finn was a successful artist and Estella loved him but she knows anyone cannot change their relationship. In the Book he wanted to be a gentleman and Estella did not love him. I thought the movie did not match the book title “Great Expectations” because in the movie I saw Finn did not want to be an artist or a gentleman. This is not great expectation. There just has one same thing that was Finn just loves Estella and hope they can live together.

Life in Santa Monica

I love Santa Monica very much because I think it seems like Hong Kong. Santa Monica is a great place. It has a good weather such as sunshine, blue sky, seldom gets rain and does not cold a lot. It also has beautiful beaches. By the way it is a convenient city because it has a good transportation. It has a lot of bus stop near by the house or apartments. I can easy to go anywhere. It also has many shopping centers and much type of restaurants such as Chinese food, Japanese food and Korean food. I can eat anywhere whenever I like. I had been Santa Monica almost two moths. I think American people are very nice and friendly. They always say Hello to me when I go to school or walk on the street that let me warm. Sometime I go to shopping center in the weekend. I see many people have a show. They are singing, play a magic and dance in the street. I never see this when I live in my hometown. I think it is very funny and it is an American traditional. I often go to beach with my boyfriend in the afternoon. I enjoy the sunshine and the sea even though I do not know how to swim. There have a lot of funny guys and pretty girls. They always say Hello to us and play with us. Finally, I think Santa Monica is a good place to study. I love Santa Monica. I also love study in here.

It can let me easy to go to ICAC. I thought I seem like Pip. He wanted to be a gentleman, and I wanted to be a law enforcement officials.

Movie VS Book

I saw Les Miserables movie on Thursday. I found more difference things between movie and the book. First point, Jean Valjean just ran away to take Cosette at Thenardier in the movie Thenardier let them go when he saw Fantine’s letter. In the book, Javert caught Jean Valjean to warship. Jean ran away when he helped the seaman. Thenardier cannot let them go, they was san away. It was more difference than book. Second point, they never dressed poor and live in the poor area in the movie. Last point, it was an important point in the movie or the book. When Jean Valjean knew Javert want to catch him, Cosette want to know the truth, he told the truth that was he was a convict to Cosette. It was more difference than the book, because Cosette knew the truth was Jean Veljean near death in the book. However I have not saw the entire movie, I am looking forward the movie on Monday.

Second she put some rise on the vegetable, after she put a piece of meat on the rice and put a little soy on it. Last, she rolled them together. It looked like Chinese Spring rolls. It was also delicious, but my favorite food was seaweed soup.

Origami

Today I saw the video about origami that is Japanese traditional art. I was being surprise when I saw it. It was amazing. They folding paper and use one sheet without glue and scissors to make the figure such as animals or building. When I was child, I learn it in the kindergarten by my mother who was art teacher. She taught me more origami but I didn’t know it since in Japan. Now, origami was become modern. It can use mathematical to create the new figure whenever u want. If you did not knew how to folding it and had what you want to make. It had computer program to let you how to folding it even though it was a complex figure. It was a great for everyone.

Summary of Les Miserables

This book calls Les Miserables that was written by Victor Hugo. The story happened at France when Jean Valjean was twenty-five years old. He was a prisoner because he stolen a loaf of bread to his nephew. After nineteen years, he was released from prison, but he had unfair treatment since he was an ex-convict. He became an honest man and began a new life when he had bishop’s mercy. He promised Fantine to take care her daughter who was Cosette. In addition, Javert knew Jean Valjean who was and want to catch him. Jean Valjean escaped with Cosette to Paris, Cosette saw Marius and they fall in love. Jean Valjean saved Javert in crusade. After all, Marius and Cosette married. Marius and Cosette knew the truth when Jean Valjean near death. I already saw this book, I thought this story was pitiful and touching. I thought Jean Valjean was alone in his life because nobody knew his secret and he can’t talk to anyone. He love Cosette as her father but she did not know.

Think about the lyric

I already saw the lyric of all. I thought “Valjean escapes to go to Fantine. She is lying in a hospital bad, dreaming of her daughter Cosettle ” could be match my life. In my six years old, I had an unforgettable memory that happened in my sixth birthday. That day I went to home early. My parents prepared big birthday party for me. Make me surprise! They invited their friends and my friends. I had many blessing and a big cake. They gave me a lot of gifts. My grandfather gave me a big gift. This was the watch. I treated he with respect. I love him so much. After half year, my grandfather had heart disease. My parents took me to hospital and visited him. In that moment, I was very afraid and nervous. I thought he was near death. My parents want to protect me when my grandfather told them, because he said I was his princess. After that, he was died with a smile. I cried all day. I can’t imagine this was real. That year was my unforgettable. It was happy and sad memory, but I know my grandfather will guard me in the other places.

Summaey of Twilight

I watched the movie of Twilight at last weekend. I knew this movie was very popular in the United State in one year ago, but I did not have any time to see before. This was my first time to watch movie without the subtitles. The story was about love. Bella Swan was a fashionable girl. She lived in a rainy town of Froks with her father. She went to school first day, she met Edward and loved him who was a handsome vampire, but he and his family were more different than the other vampire. They did not drunk human’s blood. They fall in love quickly, but Edward had a problem that is Bella had a difference scent. It can let Edward lost control to drunk human’s blood.
I thought it was romantic and exciting. I love this movie and I understand the movie because they speak very slowly. If I can’t hear that I will pause and see again. However, I knew it had second film that is call New Moon. I thought I would watch it in next weekend.
