Book Review


Title of the book and the author: 
To all the boys I've loved before, Jenny Han 
What is the plot? 
Being shock to found out all her letters that she wrote for all 5 of her crushes were sent out. In her letters, she writes about the things that she feels about them and say things that she would never say in real life, because her letters were only for her own eyes. But when the day, she knew her secret letters was being sent out to all 5 of her crushes, that's when Lara Jean's love life started being out of control.
          Did you like the book? Why?

          Yes, I do. This book is not boring and lifeless, the content in it does not comes out like what I have expected.

          What was your favourite part and why?

 My favourite part of the story is whereby Lara Jean had to face all the crushes that she wrote  letters to. If I was her, I don't think I would be able to bare this disaster. But she was able to  settle them one by one herself and end up finding the one she really likes and get together with  him. I think she really is a brave teenager. 
           Will you recommend this book? What kind of person will enjoy this book?

           I will surely recommend this book to many teenagers who have difficulty in expressing their feelings for their crush.

My struggles and how I overcome it. Draft 2

Name:Tan Zhi Xi
Class:1E1                                

                     I remembered last year before my scariest exam which is also called PSLE, I love to go out with my friends to play basketball and was very lazy to even go back home to do my homeworks and I will play until very late at night till the sky turns dark with my friends. Every time when i reach home, all my family members will be sleeping in their rooms except for me. The moment i step into my room, I laid down on my bed and in no time I fell asleep.
                     Time flies past fast,"Zhi Xi! Wake up!" my mother shouted."Let me sleep for 5 more minutes please." I replied with a tired voice. "No! It is already 7am you have to wake up now or u will be late for school!" "Alright,alright.. I am awake already." "Sigh.. It's morning again.." I said to myself.
                      During class I would take a nap or daydream. And most of my teachers would scold me for not paying attention in class and there is one teacher whom I will never forget said that I will surely fail for my PSLE. But I have this very special and different teacher who actually did not give up on me and who  kept on encouraging me and pushing me towards my goals. Everyday after school she will help me with my homeworks and things that troubled me. She is the most caring and awesome teacher i have ever met. Under her encouragements and help, I became less lazy and I seldom hang out with my basketball friends until the day I that I waited for 6 years came.
                        I went to my table and took my exam but during the exam, my mind was blank and i didn't know what to do. But all of a sudden, my favourite teacher's voice came into my head and I recalled everything she had taught me before although i know i wasn't really very sure with all the answers but at least i know i had tried my best.. On the results day my tears trickled down my face as i was receiving my results from my teacher. I can't get into the school with my friends.And that really saddens me the whole day but it's alright as I am in Chong Boon now and I made lots of new and awesome friends here and I felt very happy because after 6 years in my primary school studying, PSLE is finally over!

Reflection

-Minimum 200 words(241)
-How are the English lessons for far?
-How can the teachers help me?


             I think the English lessons are fine and great as Miss Foo and Mdm Tan made the lessons really interesting and I learn lots of new words and vocabulary during the lessons. And we get to see puns showed by Miss Foo so we could relax our minds for awhile and she will even slowly explain to us if we do not understand the pun. And i get to know more about what is going on around the world and even changes with the things or climate around me by reading the articles and worksheets given to us almost every week. I am weak in my Vocabulary, Editing and sometimes I don't really understand the questions from the comprehension. But after all the English lessons, I think I have improved from the previous results I got in primary school. But I think I can improved further by working harder.
                  I think the teachers can help me by giving us more articles or short stories with more vocabulary words for us to read and discuss with. And I think we should have more support programs after school  to strengthen our learning more. And we could tell the teachers the topics we are weak in and we could be group together by the topics we need to improve on. And the teachers can focus more on our weak points and of course we will still have to revise other topics too.

The Story Of a Dress

Name: Tan Zhi Xi
Class: 1E1
                That very moment when i open my eyes, I see many people walking around in my home. Most of them took a glance of me and tilt their heads to my friends and some of them didn't even notice me here and just walked away. I was really curious why people are not attracted to me but my friends?? But i am the cheapest and the nicest dress among all my other friends. But why none of them are attracted by me??
Days went pass and one day,a girl whose face was covered with pimples and two big tooth in the front walk towards me and glance at me and called her mother over."Mummy!Mummy! I want this dress!!Buy it for me please!!" the girl begged her mother."But Susan,this dress looks so old and big it doesn't suit you. Let's go find some other better looking dresses." The girl sat on the floor and burst into tears shouting,"Buy this dress for me! Buy it!" The bystanders were all gossiping about them so the mother had no choice but to buy me."Alright,i will buy it. So stop crying." the mother pleaded.

                  After a few minutes my new owner finally calm down and stopped crying.Susan brought me the cashier happily while jumping up and down.When i reach my new home,i was very unfamiliar with the surroundings but Susan took me out of the paper bag and wore me. She look at the mirror but i was too big for her. Just then her mother walked in and took Susan out of me and kept me in a dark and cold place and i never ever saw her again.Until one day,I saw a beautiful young lady.She took me out of the dark place and put me into a box with lots and lots of other clothes around me.I was astonish to know that that young lady was actually that girl that who wanted me so badly last time! She have already grown up to be a beautiful young lady.But why is she putting me into the box?? "Susan!Are you done packing?" the mother asked "Almost!" Susan replied. 
                    Susan brought me down and gave me to an old lady without any hesitations at the moment,I felt betrayed.The old lady brought me back to her house and took me out and said,"It is such a waste to throw something which is still new." After saying that,she took out her sewing kit and started sewing me.In the blink of eye i became a bag! This is so amazing and i felt like i have just started a brand new life! After that amazing day i am like a friend to the old lady.And my life was just awesome!
                                                     
                                                              -THE END-

Hi!  I am Zhi Xi from 1E1 .. :) I am going to share more about me now so here it goes...
Okay as i was saying,i am from Perseverance 1(1E1) ♥♥.. I am a person who really loves to dance and sing crazily but does not have any talents and my dream is to be a dancer/choreographer. My favourite colours are Blue,Turquoise and White there is a reason why i like these colours are because blue and turquoise is like the colour of the sky and white is the colour of the clouds which makes me feel so free and awesome !! :)) And my favourite food is food that are made by my loved ones no matter how it taste.. :) I don't really believe in "Best Friends" as i was betrayed a few times by my "Best Friends" but i have "Best Sisters" and they are Zhi Wen and Soon Yee ♥♥ People always thought that i look very brave and strong on the outside,but actually inside i have a biggest fear that i would really like to overcome but i just could not and it is people staring at me that makes me lose focus. Before I came to Chong Boon, i was from CHIJ Our Lady Of Good Counsel. And my Favourite teacher is Mrs Loh(Science and Maths teacher) as she never gives up on me no matter what..Saying this makes me miss my primary school and it also makes me feel like crying too.. :(( But now that i have left that school and came to Chong Boon I should strive harder and make the school proud of me!! ^^ ★★
