What is the plot?

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.
